The winds in the northerm frost Dark blizzards blind the lives of servants Slave to the frost we acknowledge succumbment Atoned of all light - soaking into a lunar stream Candles surround me casting their gloomy glow The dusk long past We are well into the night The sound of my black heart pounding so slow Envelops me as my eyes adjust to nocturnal sight Full moon...bathe me in your beauty Swelling flames garnish their tendencies Echoes from the crypts of the dead ones Who lie resless but active in our consciousness Madness overcomes the few to lead The coldness in my skin afar for warmth The riddle of the psyche lays before me Footprints in the snow where the wanderer has been The lake is coated with celestial ice A figure glides toward me In a white flash i can see the timid fangs Welcomed presence has summoned me to life Walking in an astral sleep I see it all in an occultish haze I can see the reflection in the rippling puddle of melted wax My candle is alive with melted darkness I've left my mark, carved my pathway Now let others follow in my footsteps
