Around me
People are talking
Beside me
Mortals are walking
...

Do you hear this sound of thunder,
Who's this might is, I do wonder,
Can you hear the heavens' roaring?
After Baldr they are mourning.
...

Dark are the forests where the wolves dwell,
Deep is the snow to hide bloody tracks,
Your soul is one of those empty shells,
You howl in the night, but no one howls back.
...

Awakened
She lay on a black velvet bed,
With black roses that engulf her bust,
Absolutely pale, but her lips are blood red,
...

The night is so warm, the moon is above,
I'm hidden in shadows, for no one to see,
A beautiful girl has no one to love,
I'm always behind her when she tries to flee.
...

I see thee scared and lost, walking through the maze,
Among the cobweb walls, in a blundering haste,
Thy dress is torn by thorns, thine eyes a scarlet blaze,
Ah thy body is all naked, pearl tears upon thine breasts.
...

Tis midnight, no star shining,
My sorrow is nearly burning
All my soul, within me, stirring,
In my heart all hopes are dying.
...

Do you remember Aveira, when I first met your smile,
In my darkness I shrunk and dreamt for a short while,

My dream, like my entire life, is just another morbid sin,
...

My black soul tares apart from the memories of old,
When my heart was in love with a girl pale and cold.
For her I would have given my very soul
And a heart full of dreams untold.
...

In the forest trees are frozen,
In this close to dawning hour,
In a moment dammed, unholy,
By my memories devoured.
...

In the land far away, many years ago,
Lived a gorgeous woman, black from top to toes,
To her castle dark and high, in my days of yore,
I used to come and sing to her Le Chanson d'amour.
...

Oh how your hair is black my love,
Like the late nocturnal sky,
And your eyes are emerald green,
I shall never let them cry.
...

I know there is a place,
Beyond the gates of Hell,
Where the night is eternal,
Where it is, no one can tell.
...

Tears of blood are falling tonight,
On my wooden table,
To tell you why I'm cursed by sorrow,
I am neither brave nor able...
...

My little love, my princess of the night!
Your red crown shines with the sparkling light,
And a twinkle in your black eyes gives me delight,
I can not resist relishing this unholy sight.
...

The sorrow congeals around me,
And in chains of tears it binds me,
Neither verse nor a poem consoles me,
Just your smile brings sweet pain on me,
...

I have lost every chance,
Of holding you in my embrace,
World is not a beautiful place,
Life is not a cheep romance.
...

In this place so dammed and haunted,
In this moment sweet and wanted,
In my darkness I have shivered,
By your eyes that have glimmered.
...

I can cry a million tears,
I can wait a thousand years,
I can suffer whole world's pain,
Even until I grow insane,
...

Sorrows like razors pierce into my heart,
Loneliness like a shadow comes over my soul,
Memories, like carcases are slowly rotting apart,
Malevolence in me cannot stop or come to a halt.
...
