My Ghost 07:25
The doors are locked And curtains drawn But there is nowhere to hide From the demons that dwell inside Always fear the nightfall Yet the dawn never brings solace I throw another log into the fire But can't seem to keep the cold outside Where ever my path may lead My ghosts will always follow me Trapped in the darkness of my mind Never more than two steps behind The darkness is closing in Shadows seem to dim The flame flickers once and dies The coldness creeps inside Life will never be the same again The old days will never return So I'll just keep walking on And never return Where ever my path may lead My ghosts will always follow me Trapped in the darkness of my mind Never more than two steps behind
2.
Daughter of the forest With a pine garland on her head Binded from twigs and thorns Unsightly, yet radiant Beloved of the woods Daughter of the forest With mud and soil on her face But no amount of dirt hide her grace Once revered, now alone Relic from the olden days Her altar was built from the sighs of gods Covered in wild roses, ash and thorns Look into the fire and you'll still see her shape Dancing wildly, winding like a snake Daughter of the forest Beloved of the woods No one calls her name anymore No one stares into the flames anymore Forever lost are the olden ways
3.
They 07:20
Things are different at night They are waiting just out of sight Faces in the window of an empty house Whispers echoing through silent halls Alone Never alone Alone Never again Alone They'll never leave me Alone They'll never let me be Things are different at night They are waiting outside the light Reflection in the mirror. Not mine Thoughts inside my head. Not mine
4.
When the winter nights grow longer And the days have no returnings When the long nights shimmer whitely Over the icy wastes and woods When the northern winds grow colder And the days of man come to an end When the stars flicker one last time And then die Losing tomorrow Forgetting yesterday Daylight dies And life withers away When my mind finally betrays me And all my nightmares become reality When They finally reach me I'll be together with her again Daughter of the forest Together we'll sway and dance On these unhallowed marchlands For all eternity Losing tomorrow Forgetting yesterday Daylight dies And life withers away Lose a life Gain eternity Daylight dies And death devours me

Dark Water 12:06
Fall upon the dark waters Floating down the coal-black currents Through cataracts and rapids To the tombs of Tuonela How to bear the stings of serpents, Tortures of the reed of waters, How to bear the stings of serpents, From the streams of Tuonela To the blackest of all streams To the waters of Tuoni To the falls of the deathland To the waters of Tuoni Fall upon the waters Floating down the coal-black current, Through the cataracts and rapids To the tombs of Tuonela. How to bear the stings of serpents, Tortures of the reed of waters, How to bear the stings of serpents, From the stream of Tuonela From the death-stream a serpent, From the water a dream She is forever gone, forgotten My torment is all that remains

about

"The Ghost Album" marks another great chapter in Wyrd's somewhat surprisingly underground career.

Wyrd is old news for most ambient/folk black metal fans, so there's no need for introduction other than saying this band has held a very strong and unique style for quite a few albums. Minimalistic and extreme at times, but melodic and ambient most of the times. One of the best Sons Of Burzum out there. The bands style has been growing and evolving over the last several years. And this album is no exception to that. The changes continue and develop in the shape of an almost completely new style. With a very noticeable and new doom influence and with marked rock-inspired riffs, this new style is at times reminiscent of early works but also at times reminds me of more recent Drudkh, or even Swallow the Sun.
This is a very doom-death influenced album and is yet another fine chapter in the tale of Wyrd.
