My Faeryland Forgotten
Dark Tranquility
Skydancer
My Faeryland Forgotten
(Lyrics: Sundin)
Labyrinth of time...
Mine alone for now and ever more
(I'm all alone...)
...and I flew
above sepulchral monoliths,
nebulously dancing beneath the dew
(Of morning, in ye twilightland of old)
Abiding teardrops borne by thorns,
thine fragments I twine true
(In mourning, stream adorned in rage untold)
...flow adorned in rage untold
Eternal - forever - more
And they'll forever grow
and hold in heart what springs anew
>From the shadowsglades unwitnessed
which light the flames
from deep within where we all grew
...Everlasting ember-glow
Labyrinth of Time,
in harmony confined
Thus the dark heat from
beyond the stars
engulfed a world of fear still robed in ice
A throne in fire dies...
Pulsating through the skies
He who wore the gown
shall drown the "Reich of tears" in cries
Enthroned in fire dies...
A kingdom's last demise
And I know...
The ardent hearth midst life and death
won't end my journey morrowless
(I won't laugh in mirth all sorrowless)
Come, fly afloat on a wave of emotions,
of crestfallen scorn
Oh, this my whirlwind of darkness
a tide I once lulled but alas now withdrawn
Now...hand in hand with sorrow
towards the still, perpetual seas
Into the tranquil depths of solitude
in bliss my spirit flees
Through the wind I will go
To my twilightland, alone
Where sanctuary is mine
Within my throneworld, my labyrinth of time
And he who is the God
of an infinite shape and faces,
ever weaving fates of life
upon the pattern of his traces
In the Golden Dawn of Winter
he'll stand risen from the night
in serenity all solemn,
clad in moonlight's milky white
Through the wind I will go
To my twilightland, alone
Where sanctuary is mine
Within the hands of this labyrinth of time
Labyrinth of time...
Eternal - forever - more
Time...infinity of mind
Divinity of life
Labyrinth of time
In harmony confined
Burn - upon my
Might - by my
Command - into the fire
Your throne of fire fell...
Bestowed upon your Hell
Burnt shall be your
"Might", and your
command shan't drown my fire
(...My Faeryland Forgotten)
...Mine alone for now and ever more
