BEYOND THE SUN WHERE THE MOON SHINES ETERNAL

AND THE NIGHT IS FOREVER OBSCURED IN SHADOW

THE LANDS ARE COLD AND FROZEN IN ICE

MAJESTIC IN BEAUTY AND FILLED WITH SORROW

CHILLING WINDS CUT THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND FORESTS

BARREN AND WITHERED, EMBRACED BY WINTER

DARKENED SKIES MIRROR THE BLACKENED SOIL

WHERE WALKS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ANGELS

WHERE WALKS THE MOST DREADFUL OF DEVILS

IN A REALM MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A THOUSAND HEAVENS

CAST AWAY FOR THE CRIMES OF ENDLESS PRIDE

BUT CONTENTED IN THE ENTHRONEMENT OF YOUR OWN IMAGE

IN STILL AND MURKY POOLS MAY YOU DREAM FOREVER

GAZING INTO THE ENDLESS DEPTHS OF MYSTERIES UNKNOWN

LIKE BLACK THORNS THAT TEAR THE FLESH IN EXQUISITE PLEASURE

YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS BRINGS ENLIGHTENMENT COMPLETE

DESCEND INTO THIS NETHER REALM OF THE BLACK ABYSS

ASCENDING BEYOND FORBIDDEN THOUGHTS SCORNED

AS ONE INTO THE TRUTH OF DARKNESS AND LIGHT



[LYRICS: IXITHRA, LORD OF THE SYLVAN SHADOWS]
