Shadowland - Vreid

Trees that have sheltered

Now cut to the ground

They no longer whisper

As they are dragged

Over ancestors' burial mound

Split and planed

Their beauty revealed

The nails bind the wood

A coffin complete

A casket for the body

A journey for the soul

In these landscapes of death

The return to home

Light and shadows

Move side by side

A life without shadows

Is a lifeless ride

All colours faded

A Kingdom in decay

The loved ons long gone

Their spirits chased away

The stars shine silent

The eagle circling prays

As pale as winter

Night has become day

The path has led way

Home to the ground

Echoes of animals screams

Natures mourning sound

The mountains grey of sorrow

The river runs dry

The shadows come full circle

Death embraced life
