Falkenbach

Of Forests Unknown

Falkenbach


On eagle's swift and supple wings 
I tore through the utter black. 
No clouds above, no ground below 
the flame's my only light. 
I fell into nothingness until the impact ceased my fall, 
into a world unknown to man.... 

From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceived 
a whispering, summoning me 
to follow the path of no return. 
Step by step I walked this route nobody ever built 
holding tight onto my shield and sword.... 

A cloaking darkness embraces me 
though flames are burning bright, 
in a distance far a flickering, 
the blaze my guiding light. 
Snow, caress me, sharp and cold, in the very depths of my hearth. 
Tired, frightened now I am; my will now fall's apart.... 

From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceive 
a whispering summoning me 
to follow the path of no return. 
Step by step I walk this route nobody ever built 
holding tight onto my shield and sword....
