Lost inside the forest, Alaric is summoned by an ethereal visage that is seemingly familiar. Uncertainty aside, Alaric feels compelled to seek out the source of this disruption and find a way to lay the spirit to rest.
lyrics
Welcome to forgotten ground
Where time stands still and a power has been
Bound within this sacred place
The haunting sounds transcending space
Deep within the forest heart
A voice calls out to me
Lost within myself I hear
A cold and solemn plea
Drifting alone in the night
Dreams that are haunting me
Cry in fear
Can I get there in time?
The blood moon starts to glow
The sacred grove
Reflecting in my eyes
Will I make it there alive?
His chilling voice embraces me
This spectre, borne of agony
Whose violent eyes and brow adorn
A body broken, scarred, and torn
The words he crafts and speaks aloud
Cast a spell on me
Entranced by his unnerving tale
Of half divinity he leaves me
Drifting alone in the night
Dreams that are haunting me
Cry in fear
Can I get there in time?
The blood moon starts to glow
The sacred grove
Reflecting in my eyes
Will I make it there alive?
Through the dark I wander on
A broken soul, eternally
Doomed to wander for my sins
Help me now and set me free!
Through the dark I wander on
A broken soul forever more
Doomed to wander for my sins
Help me now and set me free!
Help me now and set me free, yeah!
