Left by dawn. Determined mind. The final way out. My bridges were burned. One last path to justify life.... To follow this crazy dream. . Heading for the woods.
I feel like I'm about to drown. It feels like I have sunk too deep. The mask of water over me, pushing me down. Has now become too burdensome to overcome.
Reality, my one last escape. I can't hid deep inside myself. I close my eyes. Try to cover my ears. I'm obsessed. No peace to be found. . Three churches with minarets.
(Words, music & arrangements: Ihsahn). Close your eyes. And gaze into this realm. That I reveal. See where eternities are born. Close your eyes. Behold the powers of the broken seal.
teach me the tongue of fire. so that I may set the world ablaze. for it is cold. and this blindness can no longer give me shelter. teach me the tongue of fire.

Like the tide, shadows flow towards the shore of light. The night. comes whirling like a maelstrom. Warring waves of crackling clouds. embrace this nightside landscape. The heavens bleed, through open.

I'd kill to keep this alive, and I'd destroy anything that threatened it's life.. Everday I fight to make sure this breathes.. Strike me down, but you'll never take this from me..
