[lyrics: Sundin]Voice of the Shadow of Beauty - FridenVoice of the Shadow of Darkness - SundinShadows play - in my wilderness'mindscape they seek;One spiteful and wicked,one humble and meekA windswept pale landscapeof edified thoughtTwo frictional forcesa triad have broughtWoven within me, the aerial mist sink falling,slowly traversing the atmosphere callingA soft breeze whispers slowlyin the valley in my mindAnd its breath, both foul and holyis like the deer to a dying hind;Wordless - yet in soul so trueNameless - yet it lives in youShapeless - like the purity of painLawful - when all fear is slainOne shadow of beauty, caressing the flowersThe paleness of winter reflects in her eyesDeity of stardom, Enticer of stardoommaternal - eternal, blinded by visionsSerenity fades with the darkening of skiesof sunlight nocturnalOne shadow of Darkness, a shade of deep hateA wanderer's spectre with fury ablazeIn sheets of sharp silver laid youthful to diereborn into vengeance, dark flames dance in graceDark flames dance in gracethe grace of StormsOne shadow of beauty,One shadow of darkness,Sailing free on the seas within my mindSurging dark oceans - perpetual watersCreator of life and reclaimer of soulsMother Ocean!Watching the deep fjords uneasily movingWhipping the white waves towards the cold airRising like swans in a sacred, sudden motionA cascade of lost feathers adrift on the seaHark!A serenade in the tongue of the wind...The sight of Centuries, so sonorous in the bower,hovering further athwart a leafy cowerA shelter for those whose time's wind make them witherAnd therefore they chose to guide this time-wind hitherAlas, in tune with the tide of timeI was,but I'm not,nor I'll be with its prideYes, aeons have flownbut more is to comeFor I know time;a friend I greet with open arms- a brotherhood of deadly harm...and joyBut time is not eternal, their life-stars not immortalSetting souls can never pass through the pearly portalNo bliss be given...nor joyFlowing down the gates of Hell- FIRE!I cry for you...Don't spill your tears for mebut for your kit and kin;My scions of light?Depraved of the lust and the treasure of pleasurewhich is fuel of life and glorySilent your dark desires within entirety's lightSolitude...Sanctity...Sanctuary...Sanctum...TranquillityHear me,You who hold the fate of stars in hand,before Creation's eye I stand,my soul set free in Summerland!Mighty the strands of the universeA chaosvoid's tomb of dead worldsHark! What?Divinity flows in your heart,cat it alight - the seed of all artSlowly reborn from a sunless state of mindSilent, your fool!Thine words are untrue- remember Endymion's crestfallen tearsSerene art the gods, yet pain is their wayHe touched by the heavens, his hellfire nearsFree now your heavenly body of air!Come bathe in the rays of the all-seeing one,holding the fate of all life in both hands;Breathing new life-force like goldmade from sandMy winged steed of moonlight,black stallion of ThunderWe rode above the greenish Earthand tore the green asunderBut what you left bleedingDestroyed a soulforsaken worldAnd your deeds of sharp silverDecoyed a mindforsaken herdA duet of shadows, a duet of thoughts;Of beings we feed with the dust of our thoughtsResiding within us, the twofold wheel of lifeOf insight created: a triad of Jewels(A thin leaf of the life-tree's truth)
