Conquering The Shadowworld

<br>[Lyrics: Marchosias]<br><br>Wandering draped in smothered moonlight<br>Distant memories consume my mind<br>Amidst these blackened ancient woods<br>The profound smell of grievance slumbers<br>Unfolding dreams seem vague but still<br>As the fields of old draw near<br>And these mountains I still recognise<br>(Bloodstained memories emerge)<br><br>&quot;I see a maiden, young and fair, falling lifeless to the ground<br>A gleam once touched her face and hair yet now is nowhere to be found<br>Slain by black, audacious steel, her earthly ties are torn<br>Hatred chose her fate to seal through this malicious scorn&quot; <br><br>A flash turns fire into stone<br>The gruesome dark of night weighs stronger<br>Striding forth through veils of fog<br>Unable to conquer my shadowworld<br>A sudden outburst lights the sky<br>Reveals the tortured ground I stand<br>Once again my body trembles<br>And longhidden visions come to mind <br><br>&quot;I see her face cast into stone, engraved in darkness since that day<br>Under a moon so blue and roan her purest splendour fades away<br>But behold a cosmic sign as swirling clouds pass by<br>A new-born, bright star burns in line and lightens up the astral sky&quot; <br><br>After all these years that passed<br>Here over the fields of old<br>I stumble upon an ancient stone<br>The air around it dead and cold<br>Suddenly all is clear to me<br>As the shadowworld opens its gates once more
