Ignifer 05:06
Oh omniscient Cassandra Take a look into the future See how those who’ll inherit the earth Will take care of their creation Here I am Opposing the gods Spirit of rebellion Giving life to clayman Sharing the flame of science Intellect and madness Here I am Alone with my concerns Alone with the knowledge No one to share with Alone with my vision Of hopeless despair Take a look into the future Oh omniscient cassandra See how those who’ll inherit the earth Will take care of their creation How the skies will burn Over dried up wells The skies will burn Don’t be sorry for this world A next wave will always arise Different shapes growing from soil Differently coloured skies After extinction of wolf The rats will evolve Insects and mosses will compass The temples of human Better the pain of eagles Feeding on my liver Than of shame and regret eroding my soul Torporous and bitter They’re only a spark In the endless light of existence Let them live and die while it lasts Like ants below your feet

Old Roots 06:24
A long procession of northlanders Conducts us in this feral void They came along a golden path Jaws of ravines to avoid Half-eyed wit make us worthy To sail the foams of the grey seas Our life is an endless journey Driven by tempest and fresh breeze We may never settle down But know that there’s a distant home Although the sea-line’s been monochrome Our progenies we’ll never know Leave no trace in the crunching snow Cast no shadows in the afterglow Rise new sun For the old world See your sons Roaming confirmed Set forth seventh sons Sever the old roots Speak arcane tongues Reach for the new fruits A dawn of a new day Shine on your faces Demolish the old way Bear the torch for ages We may never settle down But know that there’s a distant home Although the sea-line’s been monochrome Our progenies we’ll never know Leave no trace in the crunching snow Cast no shadows in the afterglow Rise new sun For the old world See your sons Roaming confirmed

I lost my way Night is my blanket Snow is my pillow I agonize under the blackened sky Where should I crawl onwards Once clear paths were hidden from my eyes Surrounded by black birds I’m waiting for my demise I run back over My mistakes weigh heavy on my chest I hold on to the past I cry in the wind Like abandoned fawns It slowly approaches between the bald trees Running on soft paws Trying to hide into the Inviting warmth Of the looming snow From its impending shadow With narrowed eyes setting my teeth Just twelve miles to live The last effort to find shelter and fire Sad groves witness me Don’t croon my elegy My body merges into the moorlands An eventual scenery Where should I crawl onwards Once clear paths were hidden from my eyes Surrounded by black birds I’m waiting for my demise With narrowed eyes setting my teeth Just twelve miles to live The last effort to find shelter and fire

Like game runways in the woods Abruptly I may pass away I’ve wasted all my precious goods I can’t account for or repay As child I shriveled my tender flesh With acrid smoke that burns the eye Sadness clouds my consciousness While realizing where was I Lacerated way too early By desires that ran off the rails In the deep my regrets hurt me Should have waited ten other years Without perceiving I defied and refused to follow mother’s word I grew up an orphan and stepchild Laughed at masters unconcerned I thought my youth this green wilderness Was perpetual and unbound And now with tearful bitterness I listen to dry branches’ sound It’s not me who’s screaming but the earth rumbles Beware of the devil as he’s gone mad Lie low at clear bottoms of fountains Flatten yourself into surfaces of glass Moisten your face in yourself with no end But you can wash it only in others Talán eltűnök hirtelen, Akár az erdőben a vadnyom. Elpazaroltam mindenem, Amiről számot kéne adnom. Már bimbós gyermek-testemet Szem-maró füstön száritottam. Bánat szedi szét eszemet, Ha megtudom, mire jutottam. Korán vájta belém fogát A vágy, mely idegenbe tévedt. Most rezge megbánás fog át: Várhattam volna még tiz évet. Dacból se fogtam föl soha Értelmét az anyai szónak. Majd árva lettem, mostoha S kiröhögtem az oktatómat. Ifjúságom, e zöld vadont Szabadnak hittem és öröknek És most könnyezve hallgatom, A száraz ágak hogy zörögnek.

Winter’s grey Comes with the northern wind It takes me south to a tranquil place The colours of vintage and harvest Enchanted landscapes The laughter of maidens Keenly picking grapes I’ll come home one day I’ll come home I am the late king Who ceased to thrive A hope for a new spring Keeps me alive As dawn breaks across horizon I take the road Raptured by the red sun rising Pastel haloed I’ll come home one day I’ll come home Fatherland’s Echoes resonate with me Ease my mind Anchor my soul I carry the old country’s soil To plant home trees To find completeness Across the seas To find my home far away Find my home I searched for a cause to die for And a purpose to live Didn’t mind to save my vital force But always to give Years flew away But the bond remained And along the way I walked unafraid I’ll find a way Don’t wait for me I am the late king Who ceased to thrive A hope for a new spring Keeps me alive As dawn breaks across horizon I take the road Raptured by the red sun rising Pastel haloed I’ll come home one day I’ll come home

Realm of Wolves was formed early in 2018 by the members of vvilderness, Silent Island and other projects. They play melodic atmospheric music with harsh vocals and metal instrumentation.

I'm not a member of this band since 2020, so their latest releases don't appear on this BC page. Please check realmofwolves.bandcamp.com

*** Lyrics in "Into The Woods Of Oblivion" written by Attila József. His poem "Talán eltűnök hirtelen (Abruptly I May Pass Away)" was written in 1937, the year he committed suicide age 33. He was a genius of hungarian poetry and a tormented soul. This translation was made for the 80th anniversary of his death december 2017. I also included a part of his 1924 work "Nem én kiáltok (It's Not Me Who's Screaming)". -vv***
