Of Forests Unknown

On eagle's swift and supple wings I tore through the utter black. No clouds above, no ground below The flame's my only light. I fell into nothingness until the impact ceased my fall, Into a world unknown to man From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceived A whispering, summoning me To follow the path of no return. Step by step I walked this route nobody ever built Holding tight onto my shield and sword A cloaking darkness embraces me Though flames are burning bright, In a distance far a flickering, The blaze my guiding light. Snow, caress me, sharp and cold, in the very depths of my hearth. Tired, frightened now I am; my will now fall's apart From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceive A whispering summoning me To follow the path of no return. Step by step I walk this route nobody ever built Holding tight onto my shield and sword
