Wild North West
1. Wild North West
The forest quiet
Yet so alive
Everlasting mountains
Rivers of life
Shadows from the spruces
Cast over the farm
Its natural beauty
Guarded by darkness arms
Slow and silent time marches on
Deep into the wild north west
There is a real world
Then there is mine
The wild north west untamed
In these steep hills
The bells of history tolls
My red-blooded youthful spirit
Urge to serve, fight and explore
Slow and silent time marches on
Deep into the wild north west
There is a real world
Then there is mine
The wild north west untamed
A journey without an end
Chapters untold
Driven by my ancestors
Bloodlines in my soul
Slow and silent time marches on
Deep into the wild north west
From these shores
I travel to explore
To seek what can be mine
A kingdom left behind
2. Wolves at Sea
The coastline is fading
I drift to the open sea
A universe endless
A young soldier’s destiny
Sirens rush the blood
Blitzkrieg attack
The fire from below
Rolling waves of black
Haunted by the wolves at sea
Sailing under united flag
A brotherhood of men
A convey under the stars
The black horizon
Where sea and skyline blend
Camouflaged by the dark of night
The wolves sneak up out of sight
These blindfolded endless games
Bring thousands to nameless ocean graves
Sirens rush the blood
Blitzkrieg attack
The fire from below
Rolling waves of black
Haunted by the wolves at sea
Circles of oil
Desperate screams
Drawn into to the eternal ocean
Comrades disappear
My last image as I drift under sea
The shadows of my destroyer over me
3. The Morning Red
The morning red
Colours the sea
The morning red
Shine behind black trees
The morning red
Breaks the dawn
Night chased through death
The morning red is calm
The morning red
Set fire to the skies
The morning red
Bring life back to my eyes
The morning red
Night-time dies
Cold hands embrace me
Dreamlike ghost comes alive
A majestic sight of hope
The castle in white
Surrounded by the calm nature
A primordial power beyond divine
My pulse becomes at one with the mountains
As I enter this runic rhyme
All worries are gone
The air stands still
So does time
4. Shadows of Aurora
Northern darkness lit on fire
The magic night-sky dance
A theatre of occult nature
I swirl in a devilish green trance
Under this mystic moon
These walls drag me in
Under the Shadows of Aurora
Arcane lunacy begins
Is this a safe haven
Where nightmares fall to sleep
Or is this a living hell
Where demons reappear
Under this mystic moon
These walls drag me in
Under the Shadows of Aurora
Arcane lunacy begins
Fighting the lightening
I ride with fire
Fight my way through my darkest hour
The shadows in human form
Arise from beneath
Hell awaits
Just leave me alone
The walls are closing in
Where have I gone
Here I find no salvation
This is the birth of my torment
Behind closed doors
5. Spikes of God
Strapped to a bed
All freedom gone
This horrid chamber
Torture of my soul
Trembling with fear
I choke on my screams
Eyes erupting of anxiety
A nightmare beyond the sickest dreams
The spikes of God
No mercy in your eyes
Pale faced anxiety
Leave this world behind
The spikes of God
Fear, angst, pain and tears
The gateways to my soul
To see the darkness in light
A new dimension unfolds
The spikes of God
No mercy in your eyes
Pale faced anxiety
Leave this world behind
The spikes of God
This figure with cold hands
And evil lurking smile
Brings overwhelming chill done my spines
Electroshock is not enough
The ice pick penetrates my mind
The spikes of God
6. Dazed and Reduced
The sound of emptiness
With echo’s ringing in my head
Lifeless dreams
A living dead
Through the broken windows
I see trees move outside
But I can’t hear the wind
I am dead inside
Dazed and reduced
Alone and confused
I scream but no one replies
I see only the ghosts of my life
Dazed and reduced
Lonely and confused
There is no anchor to my soul
No harbour where I can stay
I am back at the endless ocean
Drifting further by each day
No more dreams to chase
It’s all been taken away
If I were a man of faith
I would kneel down and pray
But I am a primal spirit
Letting my instincts lead the way
All the way
7. Into the Mountains
Into the mountains
I run but I cannot see
The Shadows are haunting me
The trees whisper
But I can’t hear what they say
The shadows are circling me like a pray
Northbound I drift
My compass is home
The forest is alive and watching me
Its trails lead to my destiny
Into the mountains
A silence overwhelming
I can sense the wind of death in my neck
The face of landscapes erased
Millions of souls sing in the trees
The voices of my ancestors
Chanting in my head
Northbound I drift
My compass is home
The forest is alive and watching me
Its trails lead to my destiny
Into the mountains
The path was open
But the Forest locked me in
The only way out
Is the rivers stream
From these haunted mountains
No man can descend
Cold silence enfolds me
At the journeys end
8. Shadowland
Trees that have sheltered
Now cut to the ground
They no longer whisper
As they are dragged
Over ancestors’ burial mound
Split and planed
Their beauty revealed
The nails bind the wood
A coffin complete
A casket for the body
A journey for the soul
In these landscapes of death
The return to home
Light and shadows
Move side by side
A life without shadows
Is a lifeless ride
All colours faded
A Kingdome in decay
The loved ones long gone
Their spirits chased away
The stars shine silent
The eagle circling prays
As pale as winter
Night has become day
The path has led way
Home to the ground
Echoes of animals screams
Natures mourning sound
The mountains grey of sorrow
The river runs dry
The shadows come full circle
Death embraced life
