The song follows Aesir as he wanders the outskirts of the goddess mountain. On his journey he encounters a beautiful apparition. Uncertain at first of her intentions, Aesir decides to trust her as she guides him into the entrance of the Great Mountain where the three moon sisters await his arrival.

lyrics

Dark forest, willow wisp
Cathedral of the dead
Ancient world of silent wonder
The deeper in the more to be afraid
Of waking the lost stones of yonder

Come enter the forest
The lost stones are sleeping
Tread finely and quickly
The Goddess is waking
The full moon wains but don’t be afraid
Of death that lurks the entry way

Dark figures in the mist
A whisper on the wind
A choir joins beyond the shadow
An apparition on the road ahead
Looking back upon a long lost son

A lone wolf howls
To the mournful moon
Her tune is sweet, her shadow long
The clouds part to hear her song
Yearning for a time long gone

Emptiness, formation
Abiding destruction
No ending or beginning
Always transforming
Come inside, learn the truth of thy birth
Of your love and her death
Of lost children’s dreams

A lone wolf howls
To the mournful moon
Her tune is sweet, her shadow long
The clouds part to hear her song
Yearning for a time long gone
A lone wolf howls
To the mournful moon
Her song is a sad tune
Walking the shadow of a time long gone
Enter her kingdom
Come now my son

And so he made his way deeper into the mountain,
To the home of the sisters, three
Beyond the doors of their night-garden
Wait the dark moon, the full moon, and the new
