Blackwood

from Shadows of Lonehill by RAVENTHORN

lyrics

Heir to nocturnal visions
The Sun and its first rays
Led Seth to his new mission
With mystic aura graced

Prophetic words of the voice
Have proven to be true
The carriage with two horses
Was equipped for a long route

Seth craved to begin his journey
In no time he climbed onboard
His own life did not concern him
As much as Irene’s, whom he has adored

They passed through the gates
To the outskirts of town
Where life was at stake
In the shade of the crown

The further they rode the thicker the woods
Abandoned constructions amid the trees stood
Like shrapnel the rain pierced through the dense fog
Despite the fatigue Seth was wide-awake

As long hours passed the coachman was asked
By Seth about their destination at last
Rather abrupt was companion’s reply
“Blackwood”, he mumbled and shuttered the blind
This word sent shivers down our hero’s spine
About this site he heard since he was a child
Peasants believed this place to be cursed
Ridden with plague in death it immersed

It seemed like this ride wouldn’t come to an end
Poignant thoughts he could no more contend
On the way out of October’s bleak woods
They reached the hill where the village stood

Seth stepped outside
Glorious light
Broke through the clouds
Blinding his sight

Our hero moved
Towards Blackwood
That stately stood
Under the sky

To the village Seth ascended
Solemn mansion caught his eye
Barely has he even entered
To stop him the guards have tried

Deftly Seth pulled out his famed sword
Ready for a ruthless fight
Suddenly the quarrel was stopped
By an order outright

Hooded person has descended
Without doubt he was in charge
In a moment he defended
Guards from a defeat foretold

He approached our hero swiftly
As if Seth was known to him
“About you I had a vision
I’ll help you to save your kin”
