Deathlance Will someone please step up and put this out on vinyl prior to the first snowfall of 2020... Favorite track: Beyond the Pines.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Songs are dark and dense as the forests of the North. Slow, heavy riffs, acoustic interludes, and 2 different lead harsh vocalists make for a moody experience indeed. Think Opeth with much more emphasis on doom.

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

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’’

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 mens 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 mens graves, and keeps them as his own You can run but you can’t hide, he seems immorta

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

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

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.
