Night's Hands
07:55

A darkened sight ahead
My journey’s started with terminus unknown
By dying beams of light
Night’s hands create a passage in darkness
With shaky steps I cross
The edge between my future and past days
In living, startling scene
Night’s hands are forming patterns in darkness
What drives my soul to this?
I feel the answers are near but cannot reach them
With nature’s silent breaths
Night’s hands feed the ideas surreal
The swish of aspen leaves
Reminds me of the pages written for us
And as my shields go down
Night’s hands are shaping my visions of darkness
Oh, the days of belief – I cannot recall
Heading to light once again – my path goes onward
Out there’s a signal divine – but is it for us?
In the heart of the night I hear my echoes
Conflict of neurons and blood
No rhodopsin could aid vision of blind minds
The robin’s fading out
Night’s hands are moulding landscapes around me
I read my prayers and rush
Towards unknown, my mind flies onward
Embracing lonely heart
Night’s hands are bleeding the blood of my old wounds..!
Oh, the days of belief – I cannot recall
Heading to light once again – my path goes onward
Out there’s a signal divine – but is it for us?
In the heart of the night…
I see the shades of my fate
My role as a pawn on the chessboard of life
will see the end draw nigh
Now!
Who draws the lines between wrong and our rights?
In the heart of the night
Mysterious hands guide my way with their signs
to choose a righteous ride
Now!
The multiple shades of dark gray become bright
In the making tonight
Solo: Haavisto
Solo: Pouttu
Oh, the days of belief – I cannot recall

Trembling Crown

On this crown of thorns
On a path of the blood he rides
Fire’s a good of a servant, but not a
Shepherd said word of the wise
In a blink of an eye
In a flash of a shooting star
I was granted this power of darkness
But my hands took it a step too far
Trembling crown
These hushing voices around
Cries of the kingdom’s disciples
As blood now lays on the ground
Trembling crown
My conscience will drown all these sounds
Cries of the underworld trials
As my kingdom falls down
On this edge of the blade
In this lair of the unchained dire
Transformation began as
He started to hear the underworld choir
Unison of screams
And the spirits that haunt the liar
Heed a merciless poison
That sets a soul in ruthless fire!
On this crown of thorns
On a path of the blood he rides
Fire’s a good of a servant, but not a
Shepherd said word of the wise
In a blink of an eye
In a flash of a shooting star
I was granted this power of darkness
But my hands took it a step too far
Trembling crown
These hushing voices around
Cries of the kingdom’s disciples
As blood now lays on the ground
Trembling crown
My conscience will drown all these sounds
Cries of the underworld trials
As my kingdom falls down
Solo: Haavisto

Hunger Of The Depth
08:51
|
|||
|
Torn are the stars of the light
And the bringer of night would
swallow the eye’s last sight
Reigning the sons of the veil
Sucking the lifeblood of the symbols
And ruins of mystical tale
Waters be drained from the seas
Gateways of darkest past are open
For centuries planted the seeds
Crumbling earth,
Shattered the temples of man
The hunger of depth devours us all
Drowning cries and the tombs of thy land
Fall…

Wings I've Known
06:19
|
|||
|
Weeping the voice goes down
Winds howl through night stormbound
Flesh of a hollow surface
Would cry as the knife now
Hits the ground
Evoke the lust of man
Ecstasy of souls’ at hand
A pattern that follows
Writings of the gods, underworlds…
Of a parallel dimension
Sanity’s vague mask of faith
Shallow walls of life, the gate
Invoke the inner flame of
transcendence, accelerate
Growth of wings that spawn the rise
Spirit free of its disguise
Sets free the vision penetrating
Through the veils of lies
Hear the cries
Listen and receive
Nothing left
Of his desperate belief
Another day, another soul
The morning sunrise wipes away the tears I’ve known
Another day, another soul
The mist of morning hides away the fears I’ve known
Solo: Pouttu
Hear the cries
Listen and receive
Nothing left
Of his desperate belief
Another day, another soul
The morning sunrise wipes away the tears I’ve known
Another day, another soul
The mist of morning hides away the fears I’ve known

The Key
04:49
|
|||
|
Under blackened northern skies
These raging storms they tear down the cries
’Cause man would always reap what he has sown
In the wounds of his blood spilled palm
He would receive what he truly desires
To see this world fall into purifying fires
Under misty northern stars
He raised his hands torn open wide
As this bridge of destiny will fall – it shall fall
The rush in his veins so fierce
And the flame that burns in his eyes
The curtain fall of this shallow lie
Raise the blade up high – across the darkened sky
Complete the sacred rhyme – in his name
Tear your soul apart – descending of the mark
As you fall into the dark
Find the key to your inner locks
And the peace will find the way to you
When the night flares the northern skies
You will stand as one with the universe
Find the key to your inner locks
And the peace will find the way to you
In the dusk for a lonely soul
The key will make peace with your heavy heart
Solo: Haavisto
Solo: Pouttu
Raise the blade up high – across the darkened sky
Complete the sacred rhyme – in his name
Tear your soul apart – descending of the mark
As you fall into the dark
Find the key to your inner locks
And the peace will find the way to you
When the night flares the northern skies
You will stand as one with the universe
Find the key to your inner locks
And the peace will find the way to you
In the dusk for a lonely soul
The key will make peace with your heavy heart

Stars
09:15
|
|||
|
Stars fade the clouds
Nascent seedling’s first hours
As the spring dawn starts the dance on the crystallized ice
Sinless sprouts of life
Emerge from ground as a sign
And all the past scars could not chain the recent love that you cast
Trumpet sounds in the air
Withdraw the thoughts of despair
Majestic silhouettes arrive by the southwestern winds
Solar flares blaze afar
Emergent worlds of new stars
And all the past scars could not chain our shared dream in this life
Newborn the reason why
And I will make my way back to light
And I will stay by your side for lifetime
And I will trace the signs
To keep my word for you now...
Oh I have felt the power of stormwaves
And I’ve seen the beauty of sun
I have painted the world so black
With every shade of my palette damned
Long-lasting shades of darkest days
And the silver springs in May
Reflect the spectrums of our lives
We emphasize and push away
Oh I have felt the power of stormwaves
And I’ve seen the beauty of sun
I have painted the world so black
With every shade of my palette damned
Misguided steps of blinded men
Nourish baneful beaten paths
Yet with one touch and a pure intent
One makes a changing mark for lifetime
Solo: Pouttu
Solo: Petander
Celestial guidance shines from worlds afar
Your name forever written in the stars
Solo: Haavisto

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival.

Stumbled upon this gem by accident. The band itself has been recommended to me by a friend many moons ago. So damn catchy.
