Farewell to you, farewell to autumn, farewell to daylight
This earth is stained with my presence
This is the end, though not by choice, I am leaving as the bleakness of winter arrives
Farewell to the flaring skyline, farewell to the withered leaves, farewell to the weathered silhouettes of the trees
My essence will fade to mist
This is the end, though not by choice, I am leaving as the bleakness of winter arrives
Time passes swiftly, soon I will be gone, but do not mourn me, for I shall return again
Farewell to you, farewell to summer, farewell to the leaves on the trees
I have returned again

Forsaken Landscapes

The snowfall over the forsaken landscapes
Silently fell amongst the trees
In desolation the skyline looks down on
A land lost in time
The oaks stood grand in their disposition
A pathway shrouded in snow
...And hidden in this vast wilderness
Monuments of stone
The pillars of the forgotten
The tomb of many spirits left behind
[Voice of The Landscape]
I was abandoned
Left in this cold silence
Alone but the crows who have died
The spirit of this forest will live forever
Forlorn are these landscapes
Infinte silence
This sacred circle on which the druids went
To communicate to immortal souls
Family and deities are all alive
In the spirit world, bound by death
The druids passed into this world
Reunited with friends and allies
...And the secret fell into oblivion
Never to be found
The pillars of the forgotten
The realm of many spirits for eternity
Forlorn are these landscapes
Infinte silence
Echoes from the otherworld
Now unheard by this earth

Longing I sat in solitude
My tears fell like rain to the ground
For I can not atone my mistakes
I can not atone this loss
This silence deafens me
This emptiness engulfs me
Here I walk amongst the falling snow
Walking the same old path again
A path now full of hollow memories
Our footprints are now buried deep
Lost beneath the snow
I can not atone this loss
Nostalgia for winter
Walking in the cold
Nostalgia for winter
Walking in the dark
Isolated I walk
Under the night sky
Searching for comfort in nature
Searching for a new path
It felt like the flame would never die
But I knew that it would
The scent takes me back
The present is the past you'll miss tomorrow
