Journey To The Isle Of Mists (over The Moonless Depths Of Night-dark Lyrics

[The Log of the Northern Mariner:]



Thegreatserpent-prowofmyship,Wave-Render, cleaves the nighted



watersaswe voyage across this dark, icy sea, towards the unknown... Above,



thebright winter's moon emerges a veil of cloud to cast its lucent rays upon



us,and a clinging, supine sea- mist writhes upon the midnight waves, swirled



by the cool, whispering wind which catches our great sail, pushing us
onwards,



ever onwards... And beyond the tang of the darkling sea, the scent of night
is



asstrongandheadyas a summer blossom. I know no t what awaits us at the



elder Isle of Mists... that grim and mystery-haunted place which beckons me
to



itsshadowedembrace, swathed in dark legendry and entwined in the mantle of



ancientsorceries...andyetI must hearken to its ethereal call... for ma



yhap the gods decreed this to be my final voyage...
