Through the Wild

Beyond the endless plains and wide open streams
Lies my destiny at the edge of a new world
Where woodland hawks soar
Above the forest shade
And sweeping trees fade beyond the sun
Even the wind held it's misty breath
For this journey will tread on soil unkempt
Through enduring rains and winters so cold
A great venture in which tales will be told
I wander over gray hills under a forlorn sky
Gazing beyond the boundless windswept fields
The silent air shattered by thundering clouds
Concealing my path within the darkness
Alone in the cold night
In the shadow of mountain heights
Take rest by the howling deep
By dawn I'll journey through the willows heap
When fires rise above gray hills
And my face set ablaze from the sun
I'll follow the ancient whispering gales
Where my fate will be revealed

The Frozen Mire
06:05
|
|||
|
I've wandered with the sun having no air to breathe
Waiting for darkness to descend upon silent trees
An empty forest brings no witness for I am alone
Shrill my screams fade amidst the frosty stone
Clad in snow the trees bear the mark of winter
Guarding the forest with their stalwart shimmer
I have no path to escape the frozen reign
Entombed by an endless wintery bane
Mountainous shadows darken the forest deep
Earthen bonds covered by winters heap
I stray into shadow alone
Longing to escape the winters throne
Reaching towards the frozen northern flame
Strangled by darkness in this mirrored plain
As my footsteps press upon the misty glimmer
Cold gales blow through my face so withered
I writhe before great fallen trees
Wondering when all will freeze
My pale hands fade beneath the snow
The sun runs from darkness my fate is sewn
As the winter sky is strangled by the night
My frozen body has grown weary of life
The dying sun has left me here to wane
Sounds of all I knew fade to the winters reign

Where Shadows Lurk
07:15
|
|||
|
Toward defiled lands
We gaze before the ravine
Carved by falling waters
Set ablaze by the deceiver
Once flowing with hope
Now frozen with grief
The barren mire strays
Embraced by fallen trees
Seeking the hidden gates
Obscured by a blackened cloak
Sweeping through mountainous shadows
We move ever onward
Through the brush and over veiled roads
To an unshown city of stone
My heart longing for deep seas
By wood and sinew I forge songs of thee
Before deep sullen dales
Pierced by fading green
Revealed a fearsome path
Shrouded by undergrowth
Light strangled by darkness
Through cavernous depths
Deceived by echoes foray
Glaring down into cold unknown
Over the mountains and through the gates
To an unshown city of stone
Towards a place where far light glimmers
Where one will be free from thralldom whispers
Gazing upon the great walls of stone
Its towers reach far beyond the sky
Many fair pathways lay across the plain
At last we have reached our home
None may be free to enter our unknown halls
For shadows lurk beyond our great walls

Mountains of Darkness
08:43
|
|||
|
Here I sit above all that is pure
Within my mountains of endless darkness
One who arises in mighty halls of iron
Casting sorrow over the world
With white eyes piercing the mists of night
Seeking all who escaped the land of shadows
Listening for whispers fleeing the fields
Searching the highest peaks of the world
Torment all who oppose me
Enslave the weaker kin
Your cries of pain will echo
Through the fiery pits
No gates can with withstand my power
No beauty will I ever revere
My soul cold and sharp like a jagged spear
Will pierce the beating heart of the world
From fire serpents shall rise
Dancing with the breath of wind
Above the pale fog
That rolls over the hills
You will meet your demise
Under a crimson sky
Kneel before my blackend throne
Let terror possess your spirit
For you shall do my bidding
Under a spell of fiery hate
Unleashing spirits of blazing fire
I will bring forth the end of your world
Rivers will flow with the innocent blood of men
The age of darkness shall bring your bitter end

Crowned in Flame
09:58
|
|||
|
Behold the amber sky in northern hills
Mountain slopes begin to shed molten tears
The clamor of steel and fire shakes the walls
A great sundering lay upon the vale
Darkness walks among the light
As shadows breach the gates of might
A thunderous horn beckons the stout to war
Of wrath and trees ride into the flame
Great banners lay like leaves to caress the earth
Arrows pour like the cold rains of autumn
White walls torn asunder
Fallen into the maw of flame
Fiery whips dance around the trees
Distant screams pierce the air of night
The mountain snow stained with the blood of men
Great hammers fade like smoke in wind
Broken pillars crumble amongst the fields
Dread fuels these halls of perdition
Flames gust from the jaw of the serpent
Blackening the city walls
Lashing with power of eagle wings
Darkness falls before his knees
Mists of scalding heat roll over the land
Brought upon the flower of the plain
Left to wither in the fire
Ancient words a prophet once told
"Woe is me whose father awaits doom
But seven times woe whose lord has gone"
By grief our wits in a storm of weeping
The golden city falls to the floor
Loomed afar the hills crowned in flame
By dusk or dawn flee swiftly through the plain

The Last Voyage
14:39
|
|||
|
I've sailed from vast icy shores
To red mountains of flame
On the winds of the emerald deep
Churning with the foamy sea
Embraced by eagle wings
Searching for all that was lost
By the twilight and under the moon
Till the dawn rises anew
Whisper to me across the wind
Ride the sorrow and flame within
Under the starlight you'll be free
To dwell with me
"At ocean’s silent brim
Where the shores are sheer and dim
From the last and lonely sand
He sailed for westerland"
Sweeping across cursed shadowy seas
To the lands of feathery white
I ride with gales on northern waters
To the breaches of the world
Chased by the shimmering moon
Under the misty veil of night
By the sound of sea
Your wailing echoes to me
Sailing through the door of night
A star of hope lies within the darkness
Shining bright on eternal seas
I'll remain to die
I watched as ivory towers fell
To walls of flame that pierced the sky
My vengeance was born from the destruction
At the mouth of shadow and flame
Hear my plea echo over the seas
Sail with me on oceans we will seize
"Beyond the dark earth's pale
And behind the world set sail
Of the falling of their tears
On my journey through the clear"

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.

I think I discovered this one (well, Saor in general) in 2022. In addition to an embalming soundtrack go-to, it's definitely a cold-weather favorite.
