Tears Of The Tortured Trees

The light from the trees is gone, the old dwarf sighed

Frigid swells like blossoming stars on the waft of a threnody

Transience arrives in requiem

They've stolen the moon and depression once more haunts the woods

Roam the forbidden path in the shadows forlorn

Their spoken names echo amongst twisted agony

Buried in a tangle of secrets is mankind's greatest gift

Hope lies in a deep grave where the sun is seldom seen

Steel rules the night

Forged by an elder hammer

I gaze into the ebon lake

Reflecting tears of ice

Trolls in the menacing fog

Dim, grey nightmares howling in the rain

In the cold eclipse, by the sleeping hills of Glom

Whispers caress in the wind mocking the tortured cries

Peals of lamentation - the plaint of a thousand mourning their loss

Endless hours of thirst and fear decay in thought

In the darkness I shall dream under an aegis of viridian leaves

As soothing as the breeze between the planets - sanctuary from the lords

Cleanse the forests with flame

Sorcery without reason

The glorious past lies in ashes

And the dead will soar

Once again the three are together

The Moonslayer, The Countess and The Wolf

A trove of knowledge beyond imagination

Ivory towers of an ideal future

Those afflicted with the humor

Laughing in the mantle of time

Together shall wait

And watch it all
