lyrics
He travelled the voids of time
Dimensions, colours and dreams
His mind free from mortality
As he ran through the darkness alone, where he
Carved skies and dreamed blue
His realm was light, his eyes burned
He carried suns, and formed worlds
And with a nothing but a thought,
-He could destroy stars!-
He watched his thralls, carefree
As the cities crumbled and fell
He wanders alone through dead worlds
Slowly he cries, memories beginning to fade
He knows he once knew
He knows he ruled the skies
And his heart screams lost in blood seas
Until all he feels inside is hate!
Lightrunner!
Storming through the skies!
Lightrunner!
Will see the crimson light!
once more
As he cries time bends to his might,
His fate will never see him die
Oh Lightrunner...
Has slowly lost all he loved
Lightrunner...
Will one day return to his time, and
Reclaim everything he lost
He will never let it go - run!
He runs with the gods above!
He rules in the void between worlds!
He came from a time when the sky rained blood,
He longs for a chance to escape this world!
Oh, Lightrunner!
Oh, how a dream once divined, inside of I
Flows through the darkness and enflames the sky
I, vast, like the realms of gods and light
fire and ice define my life
Your loneliness unmatched
Your mind so cold...
How long can I hold on?
-Eternity I've spent here,
watching stars die, and rebirth...
This world can't save me!
This world won't stop me....
As energy consumes your mind
A world of dreams comes crashing down
Suns die under your gaze
yet your thirst for more will never end
and as his forms crumble and fall
His violent dreams lay ripped and dead
Now this world will fall with me...
Fall away to Infinity!
I have never been one for long farewells,
I turn my back, and I sleight my hand
I creep into the void from whence I came
I grasp unto the stream of wind and rain
Though life is pain, I strive in vain
Deep into the hollow design of old
the visions I seek they shine like gold
everything I once knew is buried in snow
like the spring growth once known,
or the realms I once owned,
it withers and dies, helpless I roam
The pain I felt deep inside, returns in time
and I watch from the shores alone!
Now, lost, he runs from reality (I scream!)
His dreams, chorus gleam, as his powers flee
And years from now he'll lay down to die
He'll close eyes and sigh, and join your ether sleep - forever!

Performed by Hjalmar
FABLE are a two man project from Australia that combines elements of black metal, traditional melody, orchestral symphony,
and original fantasy into a unique blend of styles. Themed on the high fantasy writings of lead vocalist and songwriter Hjalmar, Fable derives strong inspiration from bands such as Summoning, Falkenbach, and Forefather....more
"Overall, Empires Of Ash is a very impressive album, the best so far in the Sojourner discography, although it's early days as Sojourner are still a relatively new band. The atmosphere is majestic, and there is no shortage of beautiful melodies. The theme behind the songwriting may not be entirely orignal, but the way Sojourner produce this music stands out, making it worthy enough to be mentioned alongside Caladan Brood and Summoning."

A collaboration between Italian & Argentine Folk / Black Metal. This is simply beautiful music. Very atmospheric & extremely good & another fantastic find by Avangarde Music! Very highly recommended!!! bmurator
Bridging Nordic black metal with traditional Celtic folk, the Idaho crushers forge heavy music with a heroic medieval spirit. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2023
Easily Mesarthim's finest effort so far - 40 minutes of star-bound metal/electronica meandering that manages to be as colourful as it is cohesive. Sucking you in and making you feel crushed and refreshed at the same time. It's a keeper. x0riente
