Hinterlands

Through the winding maze of hollow whispers
 My path lies narrow but shining to me clear
 A stark existence been trapped for endless ages
 Yet through my visions I've travelled everywhere
 I've travelled everywhere
 Come dare the night my kindred
 Come shed these fears of old
 All restless souls who dreamt to wander freely
 To navigate the oceans by radiant stars aligned
 Where long lost gods speak through raging winds
 To us
 On the banks of the everflow
 I drank this earthen stream
 Held secret from the blinded
 Who never dared this dream
 We rose where summers come to die
 The heart of winter, the frozen hinterlands
 We stem from shadows where mournful choirs sing
 Our barren hinterlands, where day and night are kin
 Entwined
 From beyond where all roads end
 Where the coldest of rivers have their wells
 I stand ablaze in my darkness
 As I head into the night absolute
 I come from where nights lasting longer
 Where the frost is a heartbeat away
 Where the glory of summer is fleeting
 Where the fire inside is what saves you
 From decay
 Pray the frost of my birthright won't find you
 I stand vigilant and true to my course
 The nature's my only superior
 Blood is what nourishes all that must grow
 Through the winding maze of hollow whispers
 My path lies narrow but shining to me clear
 A stark existence been trapped for endless ages
 Yet through my visions, I have travelled everywhere
 We rose where summers come to die
 The heart of winter, the frozen hinterlands
 We stem from shadows, where mournful choirs sing
 Our barren hinterlands, where day and night are kin
 Entwined
