:OF THE WAND AND THE MOON: LYRICS

1. Lucifer

Lucifer walk with me
Lucifer inflame this heart
Lucifer embrace this soul
For I am fallen just like you

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again

Lucifer embrace my soul
I´ve lost everything - all I love
Lucifer we share the dark
We are brothers you and I

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again

Lucifer share this wine
Bitter and black like my love
Lucifer share my wine
One last toast before I go

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again

2. Nær Skóg Nær Fjöllum

Nær skóg nær fjöllum
Risti ek blóðrunir
Undir gráum himni
Nær ísilögðum vegi
Til hrýmþakktra fjalla - í luktar ljósi
Milli úlfs og hrafns - milli íss og kaldra vinda
Með óðiins orð í hjarta
Risti ek blóðrúnir
Nær skóg nær fjöllum

3. Megin Runar

I find my flowers on paths astray
Megin runar on paths well hid and torch lit
So rise snakes of the golden secret gleam
Thou phantoms of the midnight

The darkness sway for my eyes like a moth - a moth
Mysteries subtle and secret - to dim to touch

So rise thou spirits of the midnight gleam
In thy most secret cloaks and signs
Touch the night with your invoking
So raven black at heart
To dark for speech
And hidden from the eye
The glow the ritual the wonder
Solitude loneliness megin runar

The darkness sway for my eyes like a moth - a moth
Mysteries subtle and secret - to dim to touch

Solitude loneliness
Megin runar

4. Followe Thy Faire Sunne Unhappy Shaddowe

Followe thy faire sunne unhappy shaddowe,
Though thou be blacke as night
And she made all of light,
Yet follow thy faire sunne unhappie shaddowe.

Follow her whose light thy light depriveth,
Though here thou liv´st disgrac´t,
And she in heaven is plac´t,
Yet follow her whose light the world reviveth.

Follow those pure beams whose beautie burneth,
That so have scorched thee,
As thou still blacke must bee,
Til her kind beames thy black to brightnes turneth.

Follow her while yet her glorie shineth,
There comes a luckles night,
That will dim all her light,
And this the black unhappie shade devineth.

Follow still since so thy fates ordained,
The sunne must have his shade,
Till both at once doe fade,
The sun still prov´d the shadow still disdained.

[Adapted from Thomas Campion´s "Followe thy faire sunne unhappy shaddowe" - 1601]

5. Time Time Time

So I draw my secrets - a flame so sweet
And I loose my breath - in those crystal eyes

How time flies – and how things turn

A change of winds - a stroke of wings
And a pain so grave - only gods can touch

How time dies – and how it hurts

So I draw my secrets – secrets so sweet
And I loose my faith - in those dimlit eyes

How time flies - and how it burns

6. Let It Be Ever Thus

Vast grey and crimson claw – snowblind and perplexed
Alone in that moonlight – so close to dreams
Beneath a moon – and gods above
But there beyond – coiled and armed

It´s the lion and the sun - the serpent and the wand
The night shall cover all – let it be ever thus
It´s the lion and the sun - the certain and the one
A halo ever black - in the dark and endless burn

Gods above beneath behind inside beyond
Cloaked and armed - as the shadows commence
"come forth o children under the stars - and take your fill of love"
"you shall be few and secret - and rule the many and the known"

Hail the lion and the sun - the serpent and the wand
The night shall cover all - let it be ever thus
It´s the lion and the sun - the certain and the one
A halo ever black - in the dark and endless burn

As the shadows commence - and demons erase your silver circles
And all hell is closing in - "in a sort of runic rhyme"
Blood and thorns and tears – a twilight torch light
A secret rune a secret tune – may the raven guard and wand protect

8. Lucifer

Lucifer walk with me
Lucifer inflame this heart
Lucifer embrace this soul
For I am fallen just like you

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again

Lucifer embrace my soul
I´ve lost everything - all I love
Lucifer we share the dark
We are brothers you and I

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again

Lucifer share this wine
Bitter and black like my love
Lucifer share my wine
One last toast before I go

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again
