:OF THE WAND AND THE MOON: LYRICS

1. Black Moth

Here we are under the stars
Empty as dead brothers in arms
Through straw and mud the clay and blood
The law of the claw the claw of god
Awaiting the sun that herald of fire
Trenches deep deep in the mire
Never leave without honour within
Brothers in arms take care of your kin

A coal black moth to take their place
Wrapped in snow and twilight faith
Preparing for the undertow
A laying of flowers where the willed winds blow
In the dead of night in the eye of the storm
Drugged by the incense of a bloody dawn
Here we are under the stars
Empty as dead brothers in arms

2. Nithtime In Sonnenheim

Pour the mead it's time to feast
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
In the brightness of stars in the might of night
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
A toast to friends and here's to kin
A toast to good company as day grows dim
Times to come and times that have been
Here's to the powers and strength within

Mount your dreams pour your wine
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
Erect the Algiz hold tight my friend
The fire's lit the feast begins
The emptiness of our foes shall ricochet
True we are and true we'll stay
And this I say my truest friend
Thor's on return and Othinn rides again

Bring your friends to the feast
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim...

Bring deine freunde zum fest
Es ist nacht in Sonnenheim...

3. Summer Solstice

Summer solstice your hand in mine
Summer solstice so divine
A pledge to keep to sun above
A pledge to you my love

Summer solstice glorious and golden
Summer solstice fertile and gilden
A homage to life in all it's bloom
Circle of the sun rekindle the fire

Summer solstice your hand in mine
Summer solstice here in Sonnenheim
A pledge to keep to sun above
A pledge to you my love

4. Honour

Gaze into the fire - Gaze into the flame
And from that it'll rise - Simple yet so effective
A choice to be made - To be the sheep or the shepherd
To be the hammer or the nail - To fail or prevail

In hearts drained of honour
These chants shall resonate plenty
In hearts vile and hollow
These chants will sneak in gently
In hearts drained of honour
These chants will leave them empty
In hearts dead and shallow
These chants shall rise eternally

In the ashes of a fire neglected - A seed a spectre unexpected
A fire that never rests - Unconquered sun reawake
Sound thy trumpets tune thy drums - And sharpen thy daggers
Let them know we're coming - Carrying the winds that shatter

"Be your friend's true friend to him and his friends
Beware of befriending and enemy's friend"
"Be your friend's true friend, return gift for gift
Repay laughter with laughter again
But betrayal with treachery"
[Taken from the Havamal]

5. My Black Faith

You weakened and tore my heart
You ripped and purged my soul
You invoked this night without a care
Initiated the end of love
All light bends into a hole
Of utter nothing
A hopelessness I can not comprehend
Veils and thrusts and burns and tears

My black fate
My black faith

I cast my love away
Twist in hell where I belong
And now you've come to see me smile
So you can be happy for a while
The warmth has left me my dear
Left but a future of empty years
With a trail of nothing
And even darker descent

My black fate
My black faith
My black hate
My black faith

6. Wonderful Wonderful Sun

Wonderful wonderful sun
Turn doubt into dust
Wonderful wonderful sun
Your colours so like blood

And from the essence
Into the heart
And the question of will

A corona a halo of fire
Of blood of desire
This season we initiate
Purify! Retaliate!

And from the essence
From the solitude
And a question of faith

Wonderful wonderful sun
Turn doubt into dust
Wonderful wonderful sun
Your colours so like blood

And from the essence
From the solitude
It's a question of heart

7. Hollow Upon Hollow

Watch the pyres rise
Watch the fire burn
Hollow upon hollow
What empty hearts
This world produce
Hollow upon hollow

Here comes the bloodwind...

Once sword now rust
Once faith now dust
Hollow upon hollow
Once a word now deceit
Once flowers now weeds
Hollow upon hollow

Here comes the bloodwind...

Did we forget our past
Shall we regain the path
Hollow upon hollow
Watch the fires rise
Watch the pyres burn
Hollow upon hollow

Here comes the bloodwind...

8. Camouflage

Beautiful and still is the night
Camouflage coated draped in black and grey
Oh these chants will come full circle
Under this my bloodlit moon
A procession of stars across a northern sky
The snow is as cold as it comes
With stealth we charge we brave
Embrace our faith and purge empty days
In the company of wolves and blazing winds
Where reason stops and heart begins
There's a gem just below the fire
Fixed in black and symbols of desire
And a craving to sort you out
To cast you out into very darkness (I promise)
A nighttime whisper clandestine
The nature of secrecy and disillusioned in between

Beautiful and still is the night
Camouflage coathed harbouring will
Always on course over the mists of night
Always on course over the mists of time
Always on course over the mists of night
Always on course over the mists of life

9. Lieblos Hin Zur Dunkelheit

Lieblos Hin Zur Dunkelheit

10. Hail Hail Hail II

As from a dream I woke
Saw a blackflamed sun
A black speared sun
Shining on everyone

Hail hail hail these runes they will prevail
Hail hail hail if nothing else

And beneath an alter
Covered in oakleaf
Powerful runes I saw
Sowiló Tíwaz & Elhaz inverted

Hail hail hail these runes they will prevail
Hail hail hail if nothing else

As from a dream I woke
Heard a whisper from the past
Among the trees among the shadows
Great runes of secrecy

Hail hail hail these runes they will prevail
Hail hail hail if nothing else

11. Here's An Ode

Here's an ode for you and I
A chant and a love that never sway
In the winter snow in the summer sun
By the rising moon
By the setting dawn

By our will and misanthropy
By the road left behind and what will be
Through blood and tears
And nights without measure

Here's an ode for you and I
A chant and a love that never sway
In the winter snow in the summer sun
By the rising moon
By the setting dawn

12. I Shall Feast

In the heart of the night
The shadows in the heart
When friendship grows thin
Are you without dreams within?
Tonight I drew my blood for you
Behold the sorrow and th emoon
Darkness will consume ever yone of you
Terror and dishonour will see you through
Joy and happiness purged of existence
Enter night wolfteeth glistens

I shall feast I shall feast
On your emptiness on your emptiness
I shall feast I shall feast
On your emptiness on your cowardness
I shall feast I shall feast
I shall feast I shall feast

I shall feast I shall feast
On your emptiness on your emptiness
I shall feast I shall feast
On your emptiness on your cowardness
I shall feast I shall feast
I shall feast I shall feast

13. Like Wolves

Like wolves we plunge into the night
Pure at heart purest will
Raising fires one with self
And for a while things doesn't seem
Dishonest and empty
And however this world may be
Be on guard take good heed
And choose carefully
We tread with stealth!

Like wolves we plunge into the night
Like wolves we plunge into the night

14. Winter Solstice

Blood winter feast a solstice pledge
Lean on the blade lean on death
I'll rip all your angels all apart
This winter no love no heart
This endless plunge towards the end
I'll smile as you fall as night descends

Blood and Algiz above
Midnight veil midnight veil my love
Your ignorance has slain your gods
Your emptiness will slay your heart

What empty things this winter brings
What lovely tune sweet Satan sings
6-6-6 upon the wind
What empty deeds the future brings
The smell of Iodine in the air
If you should fall then I don't care

Blood and Algiz above
Midnight veil midnight veil my love
Your ignorance has slain your heart
Your emptiness will slay your gods
