Midwinter The Essence

[music: Andreas Funke & Midwinter]

[lyrics: Mordan]



Through misty forests I wandered

Across frozen plains I walked

The highest mountains I climbed

The wildest seas I sailed

I fought in the battles of TirNaNog

And murdered the tyrant of Skuld

I rode on the five winged beast

And attacked the towers of Ivory...



I am the ancient legend,

The elders whispering of

Im the creator of sagas and tales

Written down in blood

I am the silence before a great storm

The sword in your chest...



With deadly ice-winds I flew

And conquered the throne of winter

I ruled the infernal abyss

To hunt the lords of Harad

Yes, I swallowed the stars

To slake my bestial thirst

And yes, I was there, when there was nothing...



I am the ancient legend ...

... The wolf that swallowed the sun



Dead dimensions - empty and cold

Nothing to tell - nothing to show

Rotten worlds - long forgotten

Nothing to remember - never existed

Im the essence of all fading memories...



I travelled through the time

And saw so many worlds

But I never lost my will

I am the birth of man

And destroyed god-creation

But I will be reborn again

And again... And again...



Through misty forests I wandered...
