Awol
heard from a casket of stone
sorrow reap the windscreen
I am here all alone
shades of grey cast to the sky
in the deepest night
icewinds tears drips on my unbeloved soul
coven of black mist sing for me
ceremonial hymns of the purest blasphemy
at one with the earth
alone with light in my eyes
the ravens circle around my tomb
as I dream the night
frozen by icewinds
Cat Black (the Wizard's Hat)
Catblack the wizard's hatÂÂ
Spun in lore from DagamoorÂÂ
The skull of jade was pearl inlaidÂÂ
The silks, skin spun, repelled the SunÂÂ
A tusk of boar with dwarfish aweÂÂ
Sobs on the door where stood beforeÂÂ
A mountain man with sky-blue teethÂÂ
Upon his head a python's wreathÂÂ
A deer he slew in the dawning's dewÂÂ
Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew.ÂÂ
A toad of jet on a sill cast in brassÂÂ
Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the pastÂÂ
A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly goldÂÂ
Wept for the jailer of time to bless her oldÂÂ
But his kiss he held and shadowed for the spell of nights are strongÂÂ
And spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a songÂÂ
Catblack the wizard's backÂÂ
Daubed in doom in his tounge tombed roomÂÂ
We of the wind must rejoice and speakÂÂ
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek.ÂÂ
