Old Forest
Mournfall
1. Tyrant Spell
Tyrant of the winter
Casts spells across the land
A glacial enchantment
The rule with iron hand
Icy wastes in darkness
No sun shall guide my way
Into eternal winters
Another frozen day
Water becomes stone
As the frost descending
The dying held in stasis
The ice is never end
Tyrant of the winter
Casts spells across the land
A glacial enchantment
The rule with iron hand
Grim dark days upon us
And the silent end of night
A deathly cold surround me
And the scarcity of light
Gelid bleak winds
From the north arrive
Wending through the forest
None remian alive
2. The Anvils
Dark gothic torment
Of a future gilded black
Forged in caves of despair
Anxiety attacks
Pound the anvils
Forge the nightmares
Pounding the hearts of dreams
Into nightmares eternal
Forges fire burns intense
The rhythm is infernal
Pound the anvils
Forge the nightmares
"Coffins nailed shut
cast into the fire
into the pit of dreams
a sacrificial pyre"
Hurricane screams
Are the bellows to my flames
Heat the blackened metal
Make an alloy of your doom
3. Despair Is My Name
When you feel the night
The frost of winter bite
In the dying light
This is where I dwell
Despair is my name
When the shadows tall
Begin your soul to call
And when the angels fall
This is where I dwell
Despair is my name
"I sup the widows tears
Give birth to mortal fears
Persisting through the years
Father of lies
I cast the seed of doubt
Cause you to go without
I bring disease & drought
Despair is my name
..and I live on"
When you cant find the way
As darkness fills your day
When you forget to pray
This is where I dwell
4. Red Sky in Mourning
5. My Haunting Vision
A landscape of doom
Bearing the Forests of the past
Enshrouded in laced mist
Why does this vision not last
..it echoes through my mind..
Ave ; My haunting vision
Still lingering on the wind
The candle smoke of yesteryears
Of ritual dedication
And a conjuring of tears
through the years
it echoes through my mind
Ave ; My haunting vision
A storm on the horizon ;
"Tumult in the sky
Chases the sun away
To persevere through
And fight off the despair
In the eye of the storm
Swirling storm clouds surrounds me
But I see the clear night
Of the sky above"
Ave ; My haunting vision
6. Solitude Apocalypse
Blood-red sun to bathe the sky
Fills the everlasting
Knowing not what the day will bring
Only fearing worse to come
I know that I can't go on forever
But never thought I'd end this way
All my hopes and expectations
Begin to drift away
Blood-red sun to bathe the sky
Fills the everlasting
Knowing not what the day will bring
Only fearing worse to come
Looking back I can see now
Just what a fool I've been
Yesterday I felt immortal
Yet now can't defeat the enemy within
I can't go on...
7. Shadows Immemorial
Try to remember faces now gone
Tortuous memories fade
The relief of souls departed
Through pools of sorrow I wade
Shadows of yesterday
Intrude into my mind
Solitude my only friend
Salvation I cant find;
Shadows Immemorial
Lying as if on a bed of nails
Awaiting the end
Observe the time approaching
Goodbye, my dearest friend
Shadows of yesterday
Intrude into my mind
Solitude my only friend
Salvation I cant find;
Shadows Immemorial
"Pain indescribable
Passing unavoidable
Better to be rid of life
Than endure the pain.."
Passing unavoidable.
8. A Bitter End
9. The Raven Looks On
Decrepit earth freshly disturbed
Burial has been two weeks hence
The raven looks on..
Undead rebirth and from the ground
Hands reach for the sky unto the stars
The raven looks on..
..Gravestones moving
Undead arisen tread the earth once more
A greater evil is not yet known
The raven looks on
..Gravestones moving
10. Black Alchemist
I found your blade buried in the earth
Psychic questing for your sorcery
Satanic master raise the demons
In this chapel enact unholy rites
"Invoking the storm, calling on winds
Bring forth destruction, the hurricane begins;
Lay low the the trees of this old forest"
I found your blade buried in the ground
Psychic questing the secrets have been found
Black Alchemist raising demons in this chapel..
11. Sussex Hell Hound
Before me was the hill above Wilmington
I began to climb in a race against the sun
"Bracing autumn breeze
As the sun raced to the west.."
Hell hound before me looking south onto the sea
I retreated to the barrow lest I become his victim
"Waiting for attack I could hardly breathe
Counting the seconds I turned to face my fate.."
Sussex Hell Hound of the barrow mound
It disappeared without a sound
And for miles I could see no trace
A foreboding portent of what may come
Sussex Hell Hound of the barrow mound
12. Serpent & Saint
Here the adders never sting
nor the nightingales sing"
If I could hear as well as see
no mortal man should master me
The Serpent and the Saint
Of the Silent Forest
Why start you at that skeleton?
'Tis your own image that you shun
Alive it did resemble thee
And thou when dead like that shalt be
The Serpent and the Saint
Of the Silent Forest
"Come in the stillness
Come in the night
Come soon, and bring delight
Beckoning, beckoning - left hand and right
Come now, ah - come tonight"
