Of Forests Unknown

On eagle's swift and supple wings

I tore through the utter black.

No clouds above, no ground below

The flame's my only light.

I fell into nothingness until the impact ceased my fall,

Into a world unknown to man....

From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceived

A whispering, summoning me

To follow the path of no return.

Step by step I walked this route nobody ever built

Holding tight onto my shield and sword....

A cloaking darkness embraces me

Though flames are burning bright,

In a distance far a flickering,

The blaze my guiding light.

Snow, caress me, sharp and cold, in the very depths of my hearth.

Tired, frightened now I am; my will now fall's apart....

From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceive

A whispering summoning me

To follow the path of no return.

Step by step I walk this route nobody ever built

Holding tight onto my shield and sword....
