Hour after hour
step after step.
The wilderness is watching,
it draws me into its depths.
On and on I stumble,
and all the birdsong dies.
Darkness drapes it's velvet veil
down slow before my eyes.
The stillness takes me over,
mosses quiet my footfall.
I feel the groaning aeons
for which the mighty branches sprawl.
Then suddenly I look up,
in fear I turn my head.
The hair on the back of my neck,
stands sharply up in dread
and a voice I cannot see
creaks and whispers to me:
"Here no paths exist for you,
no footsteps leave or follow through.
Here the weight of night gives way,
only to boundless mists of day.
Here the trees strangle the skies,
and hungry earth in waiting lies.
Here the gloom exhausts all sanity
face-to-face with your humanity
Here your fears gather in swarms
and haunt the soul in ghastly forms
Here the vines await your neck
the roots covet your mortal wreck
Here the psyche falls apart
entombed within the forest's heart"

Hoard of Forgotten Bones

We reach out to the past
with all that we have left
Time-honoured folk-memory
Archaic geography
Monumental astronomy
Landscape mythology
Sepulchral archaeology
Atavistic phenomenology
From deep within the heart
within your house of earth
From your immortal rest
amongst colossal rocks
We call on your insight,
revere your memory
We evoke your passion,
we grasp your leading hands
Oh mighty foremothers,
guardian forefathers
That once walked on this soil
set sail on these waters
Arise and speak again
deliver us your love
Deliver us wisdom
with your ancient remains
Not through silent tongues, but
teeth of chattering skulls
Conjure us our full strength
our lineage of lust
For we are part of you
and when our flesh decays
We shall lie beside you
warmed by the solstice rays
May your bones forever dance with us

Reveniens

In the foul grip of lashing nocturnal rain
a wicked soul exhumed and summoned to terrorize again
On the wind gathers the scent of rotting blood
a sickening ferrous stench of blackened oozing guts
A bestial wailing reverberates around
and cleaves in twain the black night air with its inhuman sound
Maleficent carrion shambles reanimate
Pestillence pours out from the tomb left desolate
What once was flesh is lacerated hide,
a withered sack of skin in which slithering sinews slide
The cruel bones twitch and the lips sneer a smile
the reconstituted carcass heaves, dripping with bile
Crawl, revenant
Crawl on broken limbs
The fearful swine that pinioned your corpse,
you rise and ravage without remorse
Harry the pious folk out of their homes
Leer a broken-jaw'd grin and chill them to their bones
Rap at their panes, lurk hungry in the dark
Steal away the fleshly life, leave your unholy mark
Black clouds shroud the hollow from which you stand
Beckoned forth from the grave by moonlight's silver hand
A carrier of grisly plagues and mortal disgrace
Skeletal fingers grope the flesh and seal death's embrace
Maleficent carrion shambles reanimate
Pestillence pours from the tomb left desolate
What once was flesh is lacerated hide
a withered sack in which slithering sinews slide
The cruel bones twitch and the lips sneer a smile,
the reconstituted carcass heaves, dripping with bile
Crawl, revenant
Crawl on broken limbs
Crawl, destroyer
Crawl, catastrophe begins
