Dark Woods of Doom

Lay the First: "Dark Woods of Doom"

In ancient years so very long ago
In the moonless nights of ghouls
I wandered where dark trees grow
upon the frost of lost souls
The high firs reaching for me
In the winter that I shall forever see
And shadows dance all around me
And daylight is too dim to see

Ages pass, blood & black magic
Where the damned spirits mourn
In the winds so cold
Their knowledge so old
They dream to me, the buried ones
In the circle of blackened stones
Their tale of dreary damnation
Revealed in the flicker of the pyre

My steps take me further
Into the cold black eternal
Herefrom I cannot return
From the dark woods of doom
