ULFVEN LYRICS

1. Antvarda

2. A Mother's Betrayal

In the deep dark forest
In a forgotten grave
The wretched slumbers
A tainted child, guided by grief

Hidden by his mother, to hide her shame
But under the moonlit pine, echoes it’s cry

Wakes up when it’s dark, to quench the thirst
Screams out loud in pain, to sound infernal

Killed to claim salvation
But still she feels afraid

He just wants a name, he’s unbaptized
But at least he wants to rest in wedded dust

Wakes up when it’s dark, to quench the thirst
Screams out loud in pain, to sound infernal

3. Elegy For A Child

Within the forest
At the roots of the mountain
The orphan's cry is heard
Feeble and lost
Only afflicted
By the dying mother's words

"Kindred child,
Cherish the thought of hope
As you set out
From the heart of the mountain
As a lurking shadow you rise
Shrouded by the autumns guise"

Born from temptation
Burdened by solitude
Forever searching for it's kin
Knows not the sin
Nor the heresy of it's birth

Vernal tears
Like dewdrops on a meadow
Caress it's cheek
Like a mother's touch

Beneath the willow
The youthful withers
Embedded in leafs

A once hopeful has faded
Unending seasons has past
Sorrow take's it's heart
As the final breath speaks clarity

"Kindred child,
Cherish the thought of home
And don't set out
From the heart of the mountain
As a lurking shadow you will fall
Shrouded by the autumns cold"

4. Beyond The Pines

In a place beyond the pines,
Where this tale begun
Rests an evil creature now,
He's both dead and alive

A former looter, rotten inside
Satisfied by the pain he causes, he lives on the other side

An envious soul
Unending hunger
Endless greed
A morbid white

Comes out from his grave in the form of smoke,
Changes shape and chasing looters
Drives you into insanity, blood is his water
Climbs down into rich men's graves, and keeps them as his own
You can run but you can't hide, he seems immortal

He's bound to darkness,
Don't want to see the light
Strives for flesh

Whether he walks, whether he runs
You can run but not hide

In a place beyond the pines,
Where this tale begun
Rests an evil spirit now,
He's both dead and alive

He's immune to the most but can be defeated
Drive a pole through his heart, so he gets stuck
Then you burn him, to ash
Spread him, into the sea

Comes out from his grave in the form of smoke,
Changes shape and chasing looters
Drives you into insanity, blood is his water
Climbs down into rich men's graves, and keeps them as his own
You can run but you can't hide, he seems immortal

5. Irrbloss

6. Nocturnal Watcher

A creaking howl
Black wings upon it's back
The unbaptized apparition
Circling until dusk

Entombed beneath the soil
Lies the heedful
Unending redemption
Thy Predicted Faith

Nocturnal watcher
Thy chant is heard
Forsaken hunter
The bell toll's for thee

Befouled raven's
Blighted herd's
Man's creational perdition
The face of all our fears

The nightmares horror
Eternal sentinel
Obedience compels
Thine is the hour at hand

Nocturnal watcher
Thy chant is heard
Forsaken hunter
The bell toll's for thee

7. The Keeper's Hymn

Beneath the mire
In the obscuring woods
Something crawls within the fog
Feline eyes, watches me
Whispers of grief calls to me

Deep within, she dwells
A faceless wraith
Accursed child
Lost in aeon's
Keeper of the hymn's

The moonlight draws her out
Aimless wander, until dawn
Her cries, echo's through the moor
As the hunter she call's

Forlorn guardian
I hear the sorrow in your song
Damned to walk alone
Forlorn guardian
I see your burdens toll
Forever to be carried

Thy oath that you spoke
In conjunction with death
A pale resemblance holds you now

Harvested since long
As the roots holds you down
To always be scorned
But I see you nigh

Haunting screams have kept you afar
A conjuring darkness roams you now

Forlorn guardian
I hear the sorrow in your song
Damned to walk alone
Forlorn guardian
I see your burdens toll
Forever to be carried

I release you from this torment
For I have seen your beauty
As the stream carries you home
Rest now your vigil watch has ended

8. The Black Waters

In the shallowed water
Where darkness lies within
A creature, feeding on lies and deceive

His thirst for flesh reigns
Dragging his victims down
Where darkness lies within

Close to the darkness of the deep forest
The unending cries, echoes through

Red painted water
Skies turning black
Another lost child
Thy mother, cries

Another empty grave

A story, foretold by fathers from memories past.
"Don't trust the man by the water.
Run as you see him, don't look back, close your eyes".
Yet denial runs deep and as the strife of mankind fades.
The man by the water, takes another life.
