Hermit of Frozen Forests

Tracklist

• 1. Eiskalte Winde (15:18)
   copy

  Glaciers glistening in sunshine.
  Forests deep that hold memories to keep.
  Icy winds that freeze the last bit of humanity in us.
  Pictures of gray within dark chambers
  
  Reflections of past lifes,
  Distorted by the laws of time.
  Creeping frost holds the time of innocence.
  We have bled for many years,
  brandished for eternity.
  
  Frozen graves and crystal lakes,
  reflection of a glorious yore.
  Brooding clouds raise up the sky,
  shrouded sun, daylight dies.
  An old companion, veiled in mist
  
  Eiskalte Winde,
  streifen durch das Land.
  Eiskalte Winde,
  dem Frost verfallen.
  
  Face the relics, see whats left,
  build up new, let nature rule.
  Tear down all borders, reveal the verity.
  No fear, a life without submission
  
  The hush of winter, yet returning.
  Clacial howls, lingering screams.
  
  Eiskalte Winde,
  streifen durch das Land.
  Eiskalte Winde,
  dem Frost gefeit.
• 2. Hermit of Frozen Forests (19:08)
   copy

  By spirit forsaken, lost in woods,
  a cabin fused with wild.
  Losing voices, bitter thoughts.
  Cursed with silence, doomed by Echo.
  
  Frozen forests, empty glades,
  only him, by time decayed.
  Overgrown paths build up wide.
  Known by few, hold close, unseen.
  
  Familiar spirits crave for essence.
  Lost in darkness, enslaved by light.
  Known for decades, never feared.
  Twin in silver, last tormentor.
  
  Screams dance through a rotting world,
  winds so harsh, swift - winged time.
  What will be forgotten? Will you miss derangement?
  Take to the forests in hermits garb, free the voices, rest in silence.
  
  Haunting flashes in the northern sky,
  snowy glaciers upon the mountainside.
  Restless dreams and haunting figures,
  drown the last beams of light.
  
  A hermit guiding nocturnal spirits,
  as they scream for forgiveness.
  Images shrouded in misty fog
  and Ravens cry eternally through the noctumbulant harshness.
  
  Whispers of cold,
  harsh winds that freeze the sun.
  Even in the coldest of times the tundra lays unblemished.
  The bitterness of the niveous landscape
  will be wandered through by the hermit of frozen forests.
• 3. Zerfall (16:58)

  I tasted the corrupted drink of a laughing witch,
  summoned by the cold.
  She appeared to me as if in a dream.
  I couldn't believe my eyes as she laughed at me high on the icy mountains.
  I felt a cold breeze as she spoke up,
  then she disappeared as an icy wind.
  After I tasted this draught from her,
  everything seemed to flee from me.
  My body, slowly decaying.
  
  Teeth fell out my mouth
  and blood flowed like barrels.
  I tried to stop it, to no avail.
  Laid down in the river and my blood fused with the water.
  
  Creeping winters breathe fules my body
  Icy air, consciousness withers away.
  Fading touch to truth of beeing,
  encounter a forsaken flow.
  
  Profound connection, time slips away.
  A locked up cave, uncertain wether I dwell inside the circle or beyond the edge.
  Find the key, or search within.
  
  Seeking an ancient calm remembered,
  encounter frostbitten winds, a vital goal.
  Chains or something blissfull, freezing bite of cold or shelter, long desired.
  
  Reflections seem unclear, veiled thoughts.
  Carve a grave but who‘s inside?
  Will you kneel or stand up tall?
  Glimpse beauty in shadows hidden.
  
  Root of evil, witch uncovered,
  Gut her out, eat her eyes.
  Glimpse the world with borrowed sight.
  Consume her knowledge, absorb the wisdom.
  Echo in the mirror, what have you become?

  A women bound to seek the night,
  searching wisdom lost in forests reign.
  Mossy graves and rotting bones,
  darkness tied to loss, still searching for salvation.
  
  A lingering habit of old, wandering eternal. Departed spirits crave for light, yet unremained keeps locked and tied.
  Drifting odyssey, captivating ritual.
  
  Sun and moon exchange their rule,
  yet unremained, the endless return.
  Eternal chains, once cherished for good
  Forsaken now, bound to last.
  
  Reproached remains, embellished air.
  Fulfilment of the bitter path,
  Haunting wraiths, nocturnal essence.
  Give way to pervading wrath.
  
  Cosmic revelations
  In a sunken grave,
  upon a death of a thousand stars.
  
  Sunken stars,
  by the moonlit night.
  He lays there withering away,
  as the woman stays by his sorrow grave.
  Oblivion is chanting.
  
  Revolting everything as her soul slowly dies away.
  The spirit lost in limbo,
  as her burning heart can't rest.
  To exist in fragile light
  and slowly fades.
  
  Bounded by the shackles of eternity,
  A woman all in black kneeling in the darkness.
  Haunting the tomb of no solace.
  Now a haunting cry echoes in the graveyard.
