Burning Darkness

Rites of Mist

Burning Darkness


Flickering shadows, dancing light 
A mist have been summoned by the night 
over moors of cold midnight grief 
and in darkened forest realms 

In twilight and by the light of the moon 
dark fairies chime in with nightfall 
spread their wings over silent waters 
ascend towards dimmed stars above 

Shrouded in mist they remain 
The woods of frozen winds 
Forlorn and fallen temples along 
a torch lit processions path 

Awakening spirits of the night 
unleashing beasts of fear and fright 
The coming darkness will be more 
than just a loss of light 

Black crowned storms is closing in 
incarnations of hidden and ancient sin 
laying waste to the remains under the sun 
a fragmental order reigns 

Silence; Star cloaked, strained 
in hideous falling rain 
Restless ghosts of sorrow 
reveals the gates unseen 

Calling upon the spiteful winds 
A ritual of old begins 
Surrounded by an unbroken circle 
of glowing symbols and signs 

From gates of stone, distant aeons 
will break forth against barriers of light 
When fog enshrouds the highest tower 
beneath the blood red sky
