1. On The Edge Of Twilight
Light in the forest fading
In the hour when worlds intertwine
To walk on the road less travelled
To be caught in time
Following astral shadows
Chasing dreams of a world yet unknown
Neath the gathering cloak of darkness
Do not fear to loose your soul
Is there a shimmer through the trees
A flicker dancing on the fallen leaves
And as the silence fills the eve
We linger in the violet gleam
Searching for a distant childhood dream
And as the veil that clouds our sight
Falls away, our dreams were right
Oh we're on the edge of twilight
Out of the silent woodland
There's a melody faint in the glades
Echoing in the stillness
An ethereal strain
Journeying on through twilight
Journey on through the deepening haze
With the gathering sense of wonder
We await the end of day
It appears that all is not what it seems
What are these forms coming into being
And as the silence fills the eve
We linger in the violet gleam
Searching for a distant childhood dream
And as the veil that clouds our sight
Falls away, our dreams were right
Oh we're on the edge of twilight
2. Where The Arrow Falls
There was a time saw a greener land
When laughter echoed in the glades
When tyrants lived in fear of righteous
Within the greenwood freedom reigned
Those days are gone
Where now is the courage that shone
Are we still one
The tyrants came
But we are no longer the same
Our land has fallen
Now a voice is calling
As a whisper from the grave
Now a voice is roaring Hear his cry!
Remember the arcing boughs of green
This land shall be free!
Now fight, for I'm always with you
Fight with a heart of joy
O' my spirit will be forever more
At the place where the arrow falls
The tyrants once again will fear our name
We stand defiant, unafraid
Nothing's forgotten or will ever be
An outlaws blood flows in our veins
The hunting horn
Shall sound in the forest once more
We are reborn
Within the glades
A guardian spirit remains
We hear his calling
Remember the arcing boughs of green
This land shall be free!
Now fight, for I'm always with you
Fight with a heart of joy
O' my spirit will be forever more
At the place where the arrow falls
3. Autumn's Crown
Falling silently beneath vermilion canopies
As far as the eye can see, a burning rain
No words are spoken, the veil has now been broken
And darkness has woken the mother moon
Then o'er the night she will cast her silver light
While flames leap higher look to the woods! Our Mabon fires
Praise, Autumn's crown, Our songs will resound
The light of dawn is gathering, a golden mist surrounds
The crown of Autumn descends in golden flames
An end to Summer's reign
The crown of Autumn, the power of light and darkness found
In Autumn's golden crown
With morning glistering we hear the wayfarers whistling
And old oaks are listening to every sound
Returning to slumber, the nights of endless wonder
Will lie buried under a frozen gown
For now rejoice! Hear the joy in every voice
We praise the old, do not heed the raging cold!
Dreams will be born before the light of dawn
O' the mist is settling, surrounding us once more
The crown of Autumn descends in golden flames
An end to Summer's reign
The crown of Autumn, the power of light and darkness found
In Autumn's golden crown
Praise, Autumn's crown, Our songs will resound
The light of dawn is gathering, a golden mist surrounds
The crown of Autumn descends in golden flames
An end to Summer's reign
The crown of Autumn, the power of light and darkness found
In Autumn's golden crown
4. Blackthorn
The winding way
'Neath skies of tumbling grey
Through misty fields I walk alone
A sign of May
Defies the darkening day
There's a blackthorn blooming amidst the gold
This wreckless age wont last forever
And the dance of life, it never ends
Beneath the blossom
As twilight forms
Who guard the blackthorn
While empires fall
The endless wheel
Another baneful cycle revealed
What senseless ruin will this dark age bring
Yet in this fields
All fear of loss I will yield
To the blackthorn, spirit of the dawning Spring
This wreckless age won't last forever
And the dance of life, it never ends
Beneath the blossom
As twilight forms
Who guard the blackthorn

6. The Wild Hunt
Hark! Do you hear on the thunder
They cry of the Unseelie Court
Don't look to the skies
Lest your earthly demise shall be wrought
Black is the vaporous mantle
Of the riders that come on the storm
The veil is torn open
The night bears their ethereal forms
Hasten! For the host is upon us!
I care not for loosing my soul
A traveller on the road
Will be taken for to join in their fold
Blinded by sweat and the fury
Of the run as it falls to the ground
I swear, as we ride,
I can feel that the host's all around
I feel them near me
I see them come into being
I pray for protection
Please guide me from darkness to light
Bound to their unholy ventures
This terrible night bist their own
Must quicken the peace
Or the host we will face all alone
lo! look towards the horizon
To the manor where refuge doth lie
By the grace of our lord
We will reach the old ford and survive
7. Earthbound
Memories, they are fading like the passing of a shadow
Searching in the darkness for the fragments of a dream
A lifetime, now forgotten, I am left with only sorrow
Waiting for salvation, will it ever come to be
Residual energy
In this place I have dwelt for so long
Earthbound, paradise is lost for me
Earthbound I am trapped eternally
Through the darkness I now roam
Just a shadow searching for my way home
Burdened by injustice, I have held on to my sorrow
Life was taken from me, I was not ready to die
I know now that acceptance and forgiveness is the answer
I lay down my sword and relinquish my pride
Transcending the aether
Now the darkness is melting away
Earthbound, paradise is lost for me
Earthbound I am trapped eternally
Through the darkness I now roam
Just a shadow searching for my way home
Somewhere a distant voice is calling
Lead me on to the other side
I'll walk beyond the misty morning
And Leave the earthly world behind
Celestial harmony
As the light of the sun hits my eyes
Earthbound, paradise approaches me
Earthbound I am found, forever free
Through the sunlight I now roam
Child of love finally found his way home
Earthbound, paradise approaches me
Earthbound I am found, forever free
Through the darkness I now roam
Just a shadow searching for my way home
8. The Undying Flame
Here in the firelight's ruddy glow
As night surrounds
I wait for morning's light to show
I will stay strong, I will be pure
Though laughing tears my heart asunder, lady fair
Flowing river wash my fears away
Mighty mountain be my strength this day
Though the vision of the life I yearned
Took me far away, I will return
I hearken to my inner voice
Now crystal clear
I fight against myself but know
I'll see her face, I'll hear her voice
Calling my name, as clear as the sunlit fall of rain
Flowing river wash my fears away
Mighty mountain be my strength this day
Though the vision of the life I yearned
Took me far away, I will return
No matter how our story ends
I'll guard the flame, to burn forever in our name
Flowing river wash my fears away
Mighty mountain be my strength this day
Though the vision of the life I yearned
Took me far away, I will return

10. Beyond The Veil
All in a dream
In worlds between
The golden sun and starlight
Fair maids unseen
Dance through the green
So full of joy and so bright
The gift of life in their hands
They are pulling in the sun
Transmuting power all as one
From the mind eternal
On seas of will, life will sail
From the Casual realm
Into Astral and through the Veil
Imparting thought
And vital force
They dance for all creation
As life takes form
Sweet maidens, all
Rejoice in exaltation
They are elemental force
Weavers of the cosmic loom
With nature's course, they are attuned
From the mind eternal
On seas of will, life will sail
From the Casual realm
Into Astral and through the Veil
Flowing through
From beyond
Beyond the Veil
From the mind eternal
On seas of will, life will sail
From the Casual realm
Into Astral and through the Veil

12. The Lore Of The Land
Sing to me a story of long ago
Oh sing a tale of glory, a tale of woe
Sing to me of secrets, whispered through time
Sing to me from the lore of the land
Bring good company to share in the tales
Oh bring in barley wine, a drop of good ale
We light a fire to vanquish the dark and cold
As we sing from the lore of the land
The legend were told and in memory were cast
Whispers and secrets from England's dark past
From mother to daughter from father to son
The stories were handed and still they live on
They speak to us now from the deep mists of time
Stirring our blood and unlocking our minds
The wisdom of ancients, occult and arcane
The voice of our forefathers sounding again
Oh! We're falling away, carried to worlds far beyond
We're lost in the tales and held fast by the song
To truly believe and to know what was meant
Occult understanding from perfect intent
To look within tales and to see ones own self
Reflecting the journey of mankind itself
Oh! We're falling away, carried to worlds far beyond
We're lost in the tales and held fast by the song
Down from the desolate highlands to the fortresses
of the South seas
All across from East Anglian fenlands to the mists
swirling in the valleys
Can you feel all the mystery and wonder
That so many do not understand
If we treasure our past then these legends will last
We are blessed with the lore of the land
Silent sentinels align the stars
Archetypal journeys reveal who we are
Known in times before and times that will come
Shining heroes rise and fall with the sun
Beneath the trees, a feeling
The forest may hold a thousand tales
Just a dream or maybe
A vision of worlds beyond the veil
How they deny that feeling
Bury the past and loose the sight
We see a deeper meaning
Our vision is clear, our souls take flight!
Down from the desolate highlands to the fortresses
of the South seas
All across from East Anglian fenlands to the mists
swirling in the valleys
Can you feel all the mystery and wonder
That so many do not understand
If we treasure our past then these legends will last
We are blessed with the lore of the land
Silent sentinels align the stars
Archetypal journeys reveal who we are
Known in times before and times that will come
Shining heroes rise and fall with the sun
We can know
Take my hand
Into the past we go!
