Lyrics of 'Transient Ascendance' by Forn Valdyrheim

Transient Ascendance

Wanderer:
O' what be of my existence in this realm of the night?
What be of my time in this plain of nothingness?
Am I beyond death?
Where have I transcended?
What boils in this cauldron of ambiguity?
Thirteen stars glimmer on the horizon, are they a guidance for my soul?
Or just a distraction within this void?
A forest of obscurity lures me from my calling.
Forever, bereft, I forge my sigil of the night.

The Night:
Hear me, wanderer.
Thou have entered my realm, my dominion.
Here, accompanied by the stars,
the night rules over the mortal existence.

Wanderer:
I feel the essence that is four in number,
an image of horns burns in my visions.
Emerging from the shadows I feel a presence of death and antiquity.
A thunderous roar of ancient storms grows as darken shapes transform.
Is this what it is I seek?
Is this my calling from the other side of night?

Astral Entity:
Doth thou wish my time?
Doth one bare the black seal?
I am the one of burnt embers,
I am beyond the Night of Time.

Wanderer:
How did I find myself beyond this world,
mighty Lord of the Hunters?
Why is it that I can no longer hear the wolves?

Astral Entity:
Beyond the gate thou has come to me,
beyond the mountains, into the night.

Wanderer:
This is the realm I seek forever more.

Astral Entity:
Though mighty am I, bearer of strength.

Wanderer:
Will my journey end in this maelstrom of time?

Astral Entity:
Your destiny is engraved in a cryptic storm.

Wanderer:
It is I who taints the night.
I long to be the ascendant of time.

Wanderer:
And I rise above the continual winds,
beyond the concept of space and time.
And I look beyond the stars and far beyond the seventh gate.
In the midst of the eternal forest my essence of this existence is now benighted.

Astral Entity:
O' heed to me, hear my calling.
One must know the calling of the signs to open the gate,
to ascend into time... to evolve into the glorious night.
