Ardana (free) 02:20
Aratar, Morwen is dying, (behold) the coming of the hour The Gloomweaver released the jewel of unlight to my power Dark Vala, come back to me, embrace me with new fana My Dark lover, the void can't hold you Come back to me Ardana, come to me and let your world be mine... The ritual has begun, the sun has set for the last time Hand in and let's dance under the eternal starlight, my love ...And I'll be yours in your tower of darkness, Ardana

When night falls and all is still the forest descends (with the wolves) upon the lonely In sepulchral mist their serenades begin and their serenades will end (with us bound togeter) in the cold embrace of winter Lupaea, my (beautiful) ashen pale moonlight I'd hear their woeful songs As gathered more and more and more did they in the cold embrace of winter What has become of them and their beauty? Their songs that rag through the land of snow? (Carried on the wind) and the mists swayed in ttime? Gone? Yes! NO! I enjoyed their pain ...but the snow has melted and the lambs frolic hand in hand in the first warm breaths of spring Close their young eyes, winter Once again Let the mournful music of the snow return But wait, maybe springtime holds something for me too for I have too felt a bliss amongst the leaves Yes, a nymph with the sweetest of voices called to me But I stood rigid, frozen in fear ...But with such beauty in her voice she said "Lay thine armour at my feet" I did... What craft was the trickery of the warm spring and her afterglow illusions? Illusions! Aren't they all? -- Now all the wolves did hear on a cold wind (was a small voice) calling "dear" One small voice calling "dear" in a serenade that is lost upon the wind... ...But what tears it cast into the snow!

Deus In Infernum (free) 08:25
Soft was the leaf littered ground upon where I lay gently down my head In a blinding aureole - The sun in autumn flame The spirits all did fall and all wept in sullen joy ...And I watched the sun set into the sea and all was darkness The cold blanket of night gently covered the Earth in a veil of darkness ...And it covered the colours of lovers' eyes with a sudden pneumonia it covered all An I stumbled through the darkness and the icy wind heading for that golden aureole 'Till I stood upon the shore of the lake of fire searching through the past... -- A little girl sat upon the shore of the lake of fire Sad tears erased her tiny features Many years she waited alone staring out to sea Searching for a dream that would not be A little boy put his little arms around the little girl Deep scars sliced through his featureless face ...And the wedding bells did ring out across the sea... ...From a distant shore that they'll never see And as he looked into her eyes the vision fades away She played him her last song ...and the Death March echoed far... ...and long... -- Who lays their heads upon the leaf littered ground? Who hears the Earth cry out without making sound? Who watched the blood pur from the angel's throne? Who watched the last sunrise for one now so alone?
