In solitude I wander
Through the vast enchanted forest 

The surrounding skies are one
Torn apart by the phenomenon of lightning
Rain is pouring down my (now) shivering shoulders
In the rain my tears are forever lost

Red leaves are blown by the wind
An ebony raven now catches my eye
Sitting in calmness

Where wolves cry their agony unto the moon
My spirit is hidden
In the form of wisdom
Carved on a black stone
The only way to follow 

Open your soul
Redeem, I am immortal 

Blinded by a light
My soul is held up in glory
I engulf the skies
The apostle in triumph 

Through the eternal flame I travel
As the rain keeps falling
