lyrics

Thy soul shall find itself alone
‘Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone —
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy
Aye!!

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness — for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee — and their will
Shall overshadow thee: be still

The night, tho’ clear, light shall frown —
And the stars shall look not down
From their high thrones in the heaven,
With light like Hope to mortals given

But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,
Now are visions ne’er to vanish;
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more — like dew-drop from the grass

The breeze — the breath of God — is still —
And the mist upon the hill,
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries!

Thy soul shall find itself alone
‘Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone —
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy
Aye!!
Spirits of the Dead!
Spirits of the Dead!
Spirits of the Dead!
The night, tho’ clear, light shall frown —
And the stars shall look not down
From their high thrones in the heaven,
With light like Hope to mortals given —
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.
For ever…

Where Hatred Dwells And Darkness Reigns

Fantasque & Fantastique ! I love RandomWalk. I cannot think of any other group sounding like them. The closest you could get is a combination of Divercia, Oceans of Sadness, Mercenary and fresh garlic. Well, while randomly starting the album, I envisioned an extreme version of RandomWalk, and my heart beat faster. I drink decaf' coffee. Zornheym may not know any of the cited groups. Like them, they created a unique flavour of metal. unidual
