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
