1.
This world is finally due an end The plague of man erased from the land To purge the virus from the host And recreate a body for the ghost No pity as these empires fall Leaders drowning in the swill of lies They cast into the ears of man Ignite the planet, turn this world to sand Entwined in roots the dragon stirs And Nature grasps All-Father's last His slow ascent in flames, dire The earth becomes a funeral pyre From Ymir's flesh the earth is made And from his blood the sea Mountains from his bones, trees from his hair And from his skull the sky The seed of old has been misplaced As the stream of the void runs black With the blood of the jealous ones Who listened not to what has passed Entwined in roots the dragon stirs And Nature grasps All-Father's last His slow ascent in flames, dire The earth becomes a funeral pyre The light turns black Land sinks into the sea The bright stars vanish into the sky Hot flame plays high Against Heaven itself

Ginnungagap 07:04
To begin, there was lust Rapturous, unbridled Time stopped and yet the world spun An empty void forgotten As time passed, wounds healed A life started to take root Blood flowed in once-dry veins Two worlds collided in one room The world grew Lights shone bright Days gave way to enamoured nights A love shared Beliefs swollen Fervour reached it's height Then death Hearts broke The void inside her woke Worlds break Tears fall Cries of sorrow haunt her halls And then she fell To be caught Inside the hurt that fate had wrought Creeping darkness; infectious No place for this weakened man Time stalled again She broke free of the void And he fell forevermore Without her The abyss expanded And took him in like a son She drifted away into the black He could no longer follow Tears became as ice, froze his skin And at last the void Consumed his light within
3.
High in the branches of the world A raven black Darkness creeping in The stag gnaws, the fires burn Thought and Wisdom yet to return The snake begins it's song The ash suffers agony More than men know and Nidhogg rends it beneath A writhing in the roots below A signal of the doom to come Scale-ripped bark falls to nothing The snake continues it's song Nine days, nine nights Swinging from branches white Ash and blood, a sacrifice The serpent's scales around The One to die
4.
OH! I call myself Grim A man borne of wisdoms clear Too long have I slept in silence The frost now creeps into the year OH! The boughs will bend and break Ice will root over the land The wind will take your breath and make a prison of your lungs And the blood of millions will slake my hands The air grows colder The waters freeze in place The crops will falter, wells will dry Another thousand years will make you realise your place A thousand winters, millions die Winter's Father No escape from the biting of the chill Your fingertips will shatter His name is Winter and he will be the end of your days Your kin will weep upon his altar Winter's Father OH! A blanket of smothering night Stars seem to blink out their light Heartbeats will begin to slow Your bodies lost in eternal snow Sleep now...

"Fans of the (atmospheric black metal) genre will find much to enjoy, but this could also serve as a good entry point for newcomers as well. The Wolf Garden are young and ravenous, and I can’t wait to hear more."

about

The Wolf Garden England, UK

"To purge the virus from the host, and recreate a body for the ghost."

From the end of seasons, a new fire burns.

The Wolf Garden was created from the ruins of the old world in 2016, inspired by the natural beauty of rural England and their ties to Old Norse culture.

They create haunting and brutal black metal, weaving folk tales and apocalyptic prophecy into a mournfully beautiful vision.
