Archaic Rites Songtext
von The Flight of Sleipnir

She danced around fire
In an old cloistered grove
The forest her temple
The trees pierce the night sky
Black spires against silver light
The gods, they all love her
They bestowed upon her the dawn
Birds circle above her The wolf heeds to her call
Awaken in her embrace
Arms outstretched to the heavens
She sings of days of yore
She gives praise in the twilight
Upon an altar of stone
Reverence for olden lore


Lost, out path lies buried in dust
Blindly we fall into the wilderness
A new era, unchained from the past
Blindly we succumb to oblivion
Where do we go from here?
We no longer hear her song
No longer does the wolf heed her call
The gods lay silent in the dawn
