The Threnody Of Triumph - Winterfylleth

Then there shone lights

Of beams the brightest

That beacon was upon the earth

As a fiery tower seen beneath the sky

Bright as the sun

A song of triumph sun

Throughout the air

Threnody to the fallen

Filled with joys

For the love of those ones missed

With angels' sound may voice relate!

But here they bear forth

Birds screech & grey-wolves bay

The war-wood still clashes

Where shield answers sword

Woe-deeds come to pass

That which man’s hatred desire to fulfil

Now the moon shines

Wandering under clouds

The raven hovered, shimmering dark

Then the fire feedeth on a fleeting body’s life

The spirit of the lost journeys onward

As funeral pyre consumes flesh & bone

A song of triumph sung

Throughout the air

Threnody to the fallen

Filled with joys

For the love of those ones missed

With angels' sound

All there within

That in the world

May voice relate

A song of triumph sung!
