Serpent In The Shadow
Music: Raven, Lyrics: Dire Wolf - Written and recorded 2016
Peering thru the mirror
into the abyss
of my soul
Seeking in the darkness
for the creatures
that it holds
Fearing the black vortex
what has awoken
I might find
Staring back at myself
is the dark side
of my mind
Serpent in the shadow
seeking out its prey
Whispering of scales
Staring eyes cold 'n grey
Feeding the black terror
were bleak visions
and pure fear
Rooting in my mindscape
your grim tales and
cryptic change
But did I really tell you
pierce my soul with
your icy spear?
Stirring my dark sibling
for a moment of
seething rage
Serpent in the shadow
seeking out its prey
Whispering of scales
Staring eyes cold 'n grey
Serpent in the shadow
Sharp fangs in my vein
Dripping black venom
Coursing thru my brain
Serpent in the shadow
seeking out its prey
Whispering of scales
Staring eyes cold 'n grey
I am waiting for you
to strike at me again
Ready to defeat you
for causing me such pain
Tear Down The Walls Of Heaven
Music: Raven, Lyrics: Dire Wolf - Written and recorded 2012
a realm torn by centuries of war
two nations that vie for supremacy
thrust into this seemingly by fate
an orphaned boy of shrouded origin
now rise...
stand tall...
and shake...
the heavens!
red rage...
boils inside...
the one...
who is torn apart!
a man made star
cast down from the heavens
a burning tomb
encasing a crippled god
amongst the ashes
seeds of a world planted
are destined to revive
the fallen deity
high above from a keep of ivory and glass
sky people are moving figures on a board
looking down in arrogance on those below
yet they are nothing but pawns themselves
now rise...
stand tall...
and shake...
the heavens!
red rage...
boils inside...
the one...
who is torn apart!
a circle of magi
once men, now dried husks
their plan sinister
to rise the lost ark
resting place of god
to transform to mutate
all humanity into flesh
for the newborn god
a burning star fell ten millenia ago
carrying with it another fated being
forced into a cycle of pain and rebirth
awaiting the time to fullfill his destiny
now rise...
stand tall...
and shake...
the heavens!
red rage...
boils inside...
the one...
who is torn apart!
breaching the false gods palace
protected by a host
of fallen seraphim
dying for their master
reaching the final core
throne room of corruption
there waiting with flaming swords
the despoiler of life itself
to battle.......!
Gambit Of The Wing Goddess
Music: Raven, Lyrics: Dire Wolf - Written and recorded 2010
wandering the bleak landscape
one of the last of his kind
his father slain his clan destroyed
by the hand of his own brother
his heart burning with fiery rage
his mind set only on revenge
until now powerless to reach his goal
alas the old prophecy now unfolds
the emergence of the crimson moon
heralds the coming of the chosen one
holding the key to unleash powers untold
wing goddess
black winged angel
wing goddess
I....welcome you
her frail shell masks lurking power
eyes like maelstroms of darkness
bowing his head, pledging allegiance
resonance of souls seals the pact
wing goddess
black winged angel
wing goddess
call forth the ancient dragon
the plains of fire ... amidst ashen rain ...
awaiting the battle... encased in the dragon shell...
betrayers army drawing in... their number is vast
and leading the assault... is his brother himself
wing goddess
black winged angel
wing goddess
lead my sword forged in the flames of hate
ravishing their ranks... shattering men and machine alike
reaching his brother... a last clash of magicka then the traitor falls ...
high above the wing goddess curls her lips into a smile
now you are mine
