Here I am, once again
Looking at the horizon
With the midnight sunlight
Leading it's pale rays
Over my empty eyes
That threw crows into the sky
Bringing darkness
Desolation and emptiness
He subtly touches the window of my soul
Still asleep by the pain
As an inner dawn
She cries
Can you see the tears?
Because I felt your embrace
Involves me like ember
And for a moment
I may have felt what they call life
I followed your rays to the dew
And I waited for the rain to caress my face
Because you weren't there anymore
And then nothingness took me again
The night embraced me
And I feel cold and pain
You put a stone in my heart
Because you buried yourself in it
And I will never be able to see your light
You set with the dawn of the black day
And all that I want
Is to set with you

Darkness is all I can see
Through the splinters of my soul's window
The sun no longer reach my face
And I just run every night
To find some light
In this lifeless maze
Dark and cold like my eyes
My feet are bleeding
And I'm exhausted
At the edge of an abyss
My soul falls asleep
And the pendulum of time
Inside my heart sways to death
And I accept the embrace of the end
Falling slowly into the rocks
Painted on runes
Where some living part of me, once was there
The rain washed my blood
And the land consumed my flesh
Back to the ground
And my soul once again
Has dawned on the pale dawn
No sun for a new horizon
And I no longer exist

The melody of sadness has come over you
Since I’m gone
Your mornings have been terrifying
Your nights, lonely and painful
But I can feel your tears below the frozen lake
For I am always there
I can feel your footsteps on the ice coming towards me
Your heavy breathing
And I can see the reflection of your face
Looking towards me
I know you can't see me anymore
But you can feel me
Cause I'm the nightfall that calls you
The winds through your hair
The dense fog that caresses your face
The snow that touches your lips
The dew that surrounds your body
The Devil's Clef
And the hunger that sustains your destiny
Now come home
And lie down
'Cause I'll be there waiting for you
To consummate me in your sorrow
To serve you my arms
And take away your senses
Until you get lost in my essence
And surrender to the pale and lifeless dawn
For your existence doesn't coexist here anymore

Gray
06:34

To the highest peak
I see the gray dawn
And breathe my absence
Fog as a veil among the pines
Surrounded with the colorless sky
Pale and freezing valleys
At dawn
I don't see the colors below the hills anymore
I don't see my shadow anymore
See the ghost that I've become
Here, watching the void
Hearing the silence echoing
Feeling nothingness
Without the searching for answers
Without a horizon
The sun is no longer here
In this impenetrable darkness
That succumbed my last breath
I don't feel anything anymore
Because nothing else matters
No more colors nor scents
Nor your shadow away from the mountain
Not even my reflection in the river
Or the heat of the fire
Even my dreams are in black and white
Mornings have been terrifying
For missing your arms
That have never been here
And like a pine tree
I kept breathing
Buried by the ice
Covered in the pale morning
Paralyzed by time
Dead in life
And I just wish my roots would die
And that I become part of all the gray
Part of the silence
And of the nowhere
Just lay with the sun
Of this endless winter

Above the hills
Where we lived
I await your return
Every morning, I stare at the horizon
Waiting for the ocean to bring you back to me
Under the hill, where we used to lay our bodies
And feel the cosmic dust involving us every night
With the sound of the oceans around our house
With my eyes closed, I could read stories on your skin
And feel your breath inflate my lungs
Your touch like ember on my skin
Even with closed eyes
I could see your inside
That transcended with my being
And calm wind that came to caress us in the mornings
From the great prairies above us
With the dew so pure
So white
That freezes our world for a moment
Since you've been Gone
My nights have been empty
And my mornings, gray
Every morning I go to the top of the hill
Amid the fog
Hear the ocean
But I don't see you
It brings me your smell
But I don't see you
The dense dew covered my whole body
And I see white crows flying over our house
Are you coming back
Come home, my love
You are so tired
You need to rest in my arms
I can see your face taking color
With scars on it
Amid the fog
Come into my arms
I'll take you home
And cover you with my wings
Close your eyes and sleep
And when you wake up
I'll be by your side

That deafening sound in my mind
There are so many nights which I can't sleep
So many mornings I remain with my eyes closed
Without a new dawn
I'm tired and in pain
I go down the stairs and the bottles are all empty
I look in my pockets, but all the pills are gone
I open the door and walk into the cold, wet earth
With my bare feet
Embraced by gray
Cold and wet, it involves my body
Another terrifying morning
I'm coexisting in the midst of this fog
The sky is low, touching the ground
In few steps on my way
I can smell the wood
See the pale colors of trees in the midst of gray
And the rope on one of its trunks
Maybe there was my ideal place
I approach the rope
But it was just my head creating ilusion
Perhaps images of eternal rest
My eyes see things that make my soul cry
For wandering here on this earth
Where everything is in ruins
My lungs bleed
And I burn inside my own blood
The same blood that waters this infertile soil
Where the trees cry
And the birds sing in black throat
I fall and kneel
I cry and scream
While my soul is going the other way
Mother, forgive me for carrying and pouring out so much pain
It's so desperate
Carry life and death in my arms
I embrace every part of you, Mother
But still, I don't heal
Why?
It makes me bleed more
My blood runs through so many roots
And my tears dispersed together with the dew
So white and so pure
Like the virgin snow that touches my face
And cover my hair
Painting my body white
And freezing my senses
My thoughts have no form
Empty and gray
With my broken hands
I try to climb to the top of the mountain
Behind the trees
Down the river
My feet are bleeding
Darkwalker
Numb and alone
With each step, a sigh
With every breath, a drop of blood spilled
Above the hills
Silent screams
Tears on ice crystals
When the eyes open one last time
And a solar wing above my head
Maybe I survived until the end of the path
Maybe all this gray is not so terrifying anymore
And I am part of the panorama
With my skin on the mountain
And I breathe together with the stone
Above the trees
And close to the clouds
Alone

Below the sun halo
At the top of the mountain
With my eyes still closed
Equinox
I can feel the frosty wind brought in from the north
Subtly touching my face
And I can inflate my lungs, slowly
My ribs are no longer broken
And I can breathe
With the dense fog over my body
I open my eyes
Everything still empty and without a shape
But I can feel my feet on the damp earth
I can move
I feel the scars on my face
And my hands still weak
I start down the mountain
Everything so desolate and silent around me
Not even the voices in my head echoes anymore
My clothes are torn
And it seems that i've gone through so many ages
Long journey
Down the mountain of healing
On the way to the frozen lake
After two seasons
I reach the foot of the mountain
It's dark and I could only see the pale moonlight
Reflecting in the mud that covers my feet
I kneel over the mud and bathe
Painting my face with the black color of the lost land
A ritual under the freezing moonlight
In the dawn dew
Telling war stories
Where my roots are buried
I float on this earth and bathe on it
I head towards the lake
White dawn
Black sun that hides in the pallor of the autumn sun
Where my soul rests
And revive my exhausted body
Walking on the frozen lake
And seeing your reflection
The lake breaks
And I sink into hypothermia
Washing the earth from my body
And making me resurrect
My mind just empties
And I leave myself to the sun
Coming out of the frozen crib
I keep walking
Towards the sun
Sólstafir
Alone I continue the path
And suddenly
Death taught me
Life has new meaning

III - New Meaning
07:27

Lonely wanderer
On the trail of the Sun, below the hills
With these still broken hands
I thank all
For my long and hard journey
Nomad of the ancient worlds
That still burn below the blue ice
Heading north
My guide away
With your blanket over my head
White trail
Can you smell the wind?
Hear the stone?
Or feel the earth?
The real touch of rain on your face?
The mist around your skin?
I'm in every part of it
This panorama around you
It's me
All the cosmic dust
Water or land
The fire that brings answers
The ice that teaches you
Many do not feel
Or see the true Sun
Because all this darkness has blinded them
Look at you, in a shell, weak and blind
The Sun was swallowed up by its weaknesses
But it is still there
Search for your horizon
Search for the answers in your death in life
All this emptiness made me die
And be born
Below the real sun
On the other side
I relive in my death
