Broken free of the etheric trap Forever on the run Hear the dogs as they slather and snap Hunter loading his gun The light I seek is just out of reach Smoke obscures the sun No mercy can I beseech This chase has only begun I hear the bells ring at midnight I hear the bells are ringing Phantom choir singing Crying out to claim my spirit I hear the bells ring at midnight I hear the cold resounding My head is sharply pounding Given time I've grown to fear it Sentinels of hallowed ground Drawn like poison from a wound In repose, a truth was found Thrown as a dagger, striking soon Shouts ring out through the trees Specters in the woods Only my blood will appease They cannot be understood I hear the bells ring at midnight I hear the bells are ringing, Phantom choir singing Crying out to claim my spirit I hear the bells ring at midnight I hear the cold resounding My head is sharply pounding Given time I've grown to fear it

A silent serenade is calling Where the violet leaves keep falling I wake in warmth of dazzling spite Recalling sense once lost in flight Dream of light within the water Never again be errant fodder I found the path in silver night The journey's long, we’re burning moonlight Shadows flee the bright meadow Where those that search never know Behind the blind that lurks in me The dream is true and soon shall be Dream of light within the water Never again be errant fodder I found the path in silver night The journey's long, we’re burning moonlight It's time to arise Soon the dawn will arrive With it's evil light Our path denied Moonlight's Burning

I leave the frost behind I cleave the ice in twine The frozen ground beneath me Melting all too easy Now foliage is blooming Buried roots exhuming Beast awakes from slumber Tomorrow’s white summer Wildfire sparks ascended My days of peace have ended Red sky and splitting thunder Tomorrow’s white summer When nights grow cold again I will march into the wind When doom falls I shall depart With immolation in my heart Til Autumn's dark caress Of chill, I am bereft Emerging out from under Tomorrow’s white summer

On starlit roads she walks alone Old roots split the cobblestone I saw her glowing faintly And know now nothing can save me Though I left long ago Wandering those starlit roads Even daylight can't erase The radiant shimmer of her face She turned around and looked at me Crystal blue eyes glimmering From this distance I can flee The longing of my need Fascination holds me there Imagination, a blinding glare In the dark, all thoughts surrender To her soft silhouette, eminent figure She turned around and looked at me Eyes, so haunting, glimmering From this distance can I flee The longing of my need? Though I left long ago Wandering those starlit roads Even daylight can't erase The radiant shimmer of her face The radiant shimmer of her face

about

Starlit Roads combines elements of black metal, traditional heavy metal and dark progressive metal.

Mixed and mastered by Alex Avery of Soul Grinder, Starlit Roads is a reverb-drenched enigma with enough punch to rattle your guts.
