AVERTIA LYRICS

1. Ashes of the Dying

Fueled by the foulness from my poisoned wound – slowly turning to the dark side of the fjord. No return to the daylight. My future is set – sharp axes await.

I deal death with an axe and a torch. I see souls as they wander in the bleakness. Behind great trees – and in the deep seas. The past, now, and in the future.

The task you gave me when we met still haunts me. The burning oak – sap is dripping, branches creaking and dying.

This is the last you will ever hear from me. A silent letter – written in ash on a tomb stone.

The wandering souls await my presence. Smoke my ashes and let me be present.

2. Wisdom of the Earth

Older than the art of fire
The earth breeds all life
The wind blows through every tree
A storm of wisdom conquers the sea
We are the wisdom of the earth
New life is born under every full moon
The earth craves death to be in bloom
Spread all the roots when you've got time
Or let the tide wash you out like sand

3. The Forgotten Lake

When there were fire in the woods and it all burned to the ground there was a small lake untouched by the age of men
Deeper than the truth you seek the lake dig down in the deep
The forces were awoken by the lord of the great star. If they only knew about that place – the world would breathe at a calmer pace.

The lake was forgotten by those who survived. An era was over – a new one begun. The forest will come back again wait and you will see. The forgotten lake will create new life to be.

The men who survived – never found the lake. Until this day it is still untouched by men.

4. The Burning Tree

A burning tree death came screaming from the sky
Igniting the old, wise mystery tree
As the flames reach higher the devils appear
Only one target in their mind
Horror, destruction enslave them all
What's left of humankind
Is only the burning tree
Those who fight back against the enemy
Devils of the deep darkness will conquer all of earth
It started with the burning tree
The flames went deeper
Until ashes were all you could see
The flames went deep
What's left of humankind
Is only the burning tree
Those who fight back against the enemy
Devils of the deep darkness will conquer all of earth
Who are we to judge their mortality
Creatures of the dark live in slavery
Their time burns faster as they do wrong
I, I know I used to be one
What's left of humankind
Is only the burning tree
Those who fight back against the enemy
Devils of the deep darkness will conquer all of earth
Only a sapling was left, saved by a child from the roaring inferno.
