...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...
