Deep in the forest at twilight
A new kind of meaning is born
Sharpen your senses and arrows
A Kill to be rightfully worn

Shadows are cast in the moonlight
And silence befalls on the land
Desperate for blood and the sacrifice
To snatch life from All-Mother’s hand

Wander and drift through the branches and leaves
Tread like the wind blowing flowers and trees
Hunt your demise with the blade as your eyes
Bleed your disdain while serenity dies

No footsteps signal the coming of Death
Freezing my body and chilling my breath
Head to the north with the stars as his guide
Seeking a point where the spirits collide

I will return to the mountain
To take what is mine
I will reclaim my vacant throne
With fire divine

My eye sees a flickering shadow
And movement beyond in the brush
Slowly approaching my prey and his life
To end by my swift vacant touch

This blade of mine and this fire divine
Will test me until I ascend
Battered and beaten and fallen to ashes
I break and my spirit will bend

The moonlight is lighting my pathway
And sends for a beckoning cry
The reaper has come to collect once again
And treasure the life that will die.

I have returned to the mountain
To claim what is mine
I will reclaim my vacant throne
With fire divine

This final chapter of a life
Still broken and shattered
Will find a meaning cloaked in darkness
To chase what has mattered.

Beckoning to darkness
My prey now abides
Quickly transcending
With a stroke of my impudence
It dies.

The river of life from the neck wound
Flows steadily over my hands
And covers me now in the essence
Like oceans wash over the sands.

Seeking my solace in crimson remorse
Negligence hiding a revenant source
Blessings through bleeding and vengeance entwine
Fleeting the love of the chase be to thine.

I am silent as the whispering breeze
I now do know that which lives in the trees
Vacant my heart is to burn for you well
Set free my spirit from this earthly hell.

I have returned to the mountain
To claim what is mine
I have reclaimed my vacant throne
With fire divine

This final chapter of a life
Still broken and shattered
Will find a meaning cloaked in darkness
To chase what has mattered.
