Somnos Aeternus Songtext
von Arctos

A parting veil: the grey mist of the dawn.
The sky light′s aflame,
Over windswept canopy,
Of lively green, so serene the scene,
Catching my eyes.
Warm streams fall, as I walk on.
The changing path, calls me forth.

Greatness dawns upon the one, with heart set in stone.
The coward finds, his weakness binds, a destiny forlorn.
The path to tread, the mountain to climb.
Slumber calls, strength of will it falls, life fades away whilst
Darkness holds


Wending through forest, overgrown,
Dark thoughts cloud my mind.
Light pours through the leaves,
Though warmth does not reach me,
For in my heart, a truth is known;
I must leave all behind.
A solemn journey, this final path,
Lit with setting sun.

As I grow cold, my heart as stone; crumbles from inside
Of weaker men, have I become; alone, my life a lie.
The path leads down, the mountain left behind.
Slumber calls, to my knees I fall, anguish takes it's hold!

Broken! Bereft! Crawling forth, I lay outstretched.
Bleeding! Torn! My flesh is rent, upon the forest floor.
Slumber, has called:
To summon me, to bring me home.
At last I find peace; withered, alone, upon the forest floor.
