Schön ist der Wald, wenn der Tag sich neigt,
Wenn feiner Nebel hoch vom moosgen Boden steigt
Und Vöglein singen sacht zum Ruhgeleit -
Dann mirs die Brust vor arger Schwere feit
Doch in der Höh des Walds kann ich schon sehen,
Geliebte Dämmerzeit - musst gehn
Musst weichen schon dem kalten Mondeslicht,
Das sich bald schaurig in den Wipfeln bricht...
Was raschelt hinterm Busche dort?
Was regt im Holz sich immerfort?
Wer heult im fernen unentwegt?
Was hat sich eben da bewegt?
Es ist nur mein Geist, der mir einen Streich zu spielen gedacht,
Denn hier ist nichts - nur Nacht, nur Nacht, nur Nacht!
Mein Herz schlägt wild vom Schrecken der sich nun gelegt,
Doch was war da? Da hat sich wieder was geregt!
Ists wohl der Teufel selbst der mich nun holt von diesem finstren Ort?
Wer es auch ist - Hinfort Unhold! Hinfort!
Weg, nur weg, nur weg von hier, mich fürchtets wie ein Kind!
Doch jeder Baum scheint gleich - es ist ein Labyrinth
In jedem Winkel ein höhnisch Lachen klingt
Und jeder Blick mir neues Grauen bringt
Stille, ja Stille - verstummt und verhallt
Das Rascheln, das Raunen, kein Klang mehr erschallt
Doch wo bin ich? Was tu ich - hier tief im Wald?
Ersinne den Morgen, ach käm er doch bald
Verirrt und vergessen - den Lieben entrissen,
Einsam, verloren - mein Wille... Verschlissen...
Doch, was glänzt dort in der Fremde?
Ein Funkeln bricht durchs Geäst
Die Lichtung, die Lichtung nicht ferne!
Nun seh ichs, ja seh ichs unds lässt mein Herze erblühn!
Welch Lichtfest! Welch Glühen!
Ein Blick noch zurück - den Augen kaum trauend
Denn kaum konnt ichs schauen
Hinweg war das Grauen - nur Friede im Wald
Empyrium is a German musical group founded in 1994 by Markus Stock (mostly using the pseudonym Ulf T. Schwadorf) and Andreas Bach. Initially, they distinguished themselves for a symphonic folk/doom metal style, later evolving towards neofolk. Their first two albums, *A Wintersunset* and *Songs of Moors and Misty Fields*, followed by the demo *...Der wie ein Blitz vom Himmel fiel...*, present a doom metal sound (or, according to some, folk metal) with folk and symphonic influences. The distinctive features of Empyrium include guttural and operatic male vocals, slow and heavy guitar riffs and suggestive atmospheres. Among the most representative songs are *The Forest of the Dead*, *A Wintersunset* and *Songs of Moors and Misty Fields*.
