This is the tribute track to Brylleith, the White Goblin who appeared as my spirit guide in the form of a white owl. it references the legendary shamanic dismemberment dream, in which the shaman is dismembered and reconstructed by spirits.

lyrics

It’s been a wolf’s age
Since you stopped to see the shadows
Tracing the contours, and spiraling into the realms
I had begun to think
You were not ever coming back
Were you too proud to seize the pike and claim your place?

I speak to you through the glass
I haunt your nightly walks
And in the ring of torches
It’s clear we’ve found our way

Eyes of
Peridot and garnet
Flash with long expected life
(saegt din Verl ocghnd tag dur Tren)
Blades in
The shape of the crescent god
Flash as bright as the moon
(vek dir Grunsig Mon!)
Teeth bared
A grin that holds back
A stream of otherworldly spells
(gyf es ynan spollsaed!)
Unmask
Remove the paint and runes
You will not need them anymore
(Vulkaumn maen gaaltbast!)

No human language
Will suffice to call us closer
Open your minds eye, can you perceive the forms we take?
Self righteous cobwebs
Spun by the spiders of deceit
Are ripped and torn, the banners of the blue moon in their place

I’m the shadow on the blade
That falls upon your foes
Those are my footprints there
Your feet have left behind you

This chamber’s filling up with blood
The corridors are darkened
And with me come the others
Who made you what you are
