The Reddening

YEARS OF SUMMER

Into the mists of ages

Where time like song

Between pages

Gentle skies shine on

Into this ageless land

Across fantasy

Let pillars stand

Halls of sanctuary

What shines on

Darker eyes still shine on

Darker skies still shine on me

Vanaheim speaks

Njord of the deep

Forests so secret

This song I’ll keep

So shine on me

By the loam and fields

In to the frail

Of Wights and the wyrd

We tell this tale

What shines on So shine on me

The Reddening Part 1

Could I hide the years when I hear of war

For my wyrd and tears decry

I will watch these dreams from another shore

As I ache for life

Refuse this death, sacred pass the way with ashes I communed and heed

The enemy of the wolf descends, when shadows all appear to bleed

Will you leave my side

For another desire

Another desire

Gollveig passed the faith

Of another desire

Another desire

Turn to scarlet hours

Of another desire

Another desire

To redden these flames

Of another desire

Another desire

By my axe I rise and surge, from your ashes that swirl again

I am the sign to lead the charge, and all his runes I don’t believe in

Three, three times burned

Three, three times born

Ghosts

What must I bare, in the ways of rain,

Comes your arms, to take my strain.

Bathe in war, and moon-lit cry,

Kiss her ruins, I can’t deny.

See our kith, as drums unkind,

So earthen sent, and spite combines.

But speak no more,

Her bones proclaim,

The ghosts we bleed, dance again.

What must we swear, to the way of pain,

Close your eyes, the truth’s distrain.

March to ‘gard, by stars first light,

In scarlet hours, seethe delight.

See my love, lays red and charred,

In memory’s wake, she’ll touch my scars.

But speak no more,

Her bones proclaim,

The ghosts we bleed, dance again.

Forsworn we ride Forsworn they’ll die

Charge

Across the fields of eventide,

All his ravens come defying,

Who we are and what we do

It’s not for them to judge

So I will lead you into this night

By reddened mouths harsh delight

Turn everything they ever had

Back to dust

Fight for a day we never wanted

Pray the fallen are too few

In her name we’re still undaunted

This battle song is all we knew.

Charge

I can’t believe just what I saw

Falling towers and burning shores

They pushed us back against the cliff

If that was all they ever did

We’re overrun

I held my father’s slipping hand

A shield to the sky she’ll understand

A ward of the beating sun.

Fall back

What we’ve lost,

I can’t decide,

Should I live

Should I die.

The Reddening Part 2

We’re coming from the trees

We’re coming from the line

Raised voice into the sky

Bloody vengeance will be mine.

We’re chaos weaving

On and on we fight

Oh For the bloody cleaving

Battle into the night

Still there’s no deceiving

Oh We’re chaos weaving

We’re coming from the fields

We’re burning all the towers

Raised swords into the sky

Bloody vengeance will be mine.

And on I yearn

War is growing hunger

Vengeance drown in blood

And on I yearn

Gods of ichor and the slaughter

Vengeance like a flood

And on I yearn

Requiem For Mimir

Oh my fallen brother

Oh my spilled blood

That you would speak for another

If you only could

Like memory on the water

Like the voice of eternity

That I would bless your only daughter

They send your head back to me

Rest at my side weary one

And light the stars for me

Tell what is over has begun

Sleep by the hanging tree.

Speak so sweetly from this well And dream of our time in this we dwell

The Reddening Part 3

Oh oh oh immortal blood

Oh oh oh so bear my brand

Cast your sword into the fire

See the shadow across the land

The rites of another desire

Still the wolf comes

Led by the father

Led by the brother

And still the wolf comes

Coming in truth

Coming for you.

Oh oh oh take your sword

Oh oh oh take to the field

Your son to the serpent

Who will never yield

In the ways of seidr your servant

Ascension

Die For Me

Back to mists

Back to stones

Kiss the sky

And still it comes

I move in cycles

I’m always here

I am the end

In reddened swear

Come to me

The stars are open

Oh die for me

Die for me

Dream of the ocean

What speaks

In hushed tones

Kiss my lips

And still I come

I see

Wolf teeth and what must be

I see

Won’t you just die for me

Song For Cronus

A battle cry

A tale of shadows they’ll deny

My bitter blood

My son my seed you would

But her kiss is so disarming

You know

You got to eat your darlings

As you strike at me

From a second dream

So you got to eat your darlings

You got to eat your darlings

Into the frail

The shattered king will prevail

His violet hour

And the truth he will devour

I rule by right

I rule by twisted grasp

And what you have

Can never last
