The mountains chime
A vast, relentless rhyme The majesty, the regency Prevails the everlasting rivalry Crowned by the haze of history A ferocious tore, a regaining core Ordained by the weight of gravity Echoes through the halls of lore The monumental fortress of primal grace Shimmers beyond the horizon astray Vast and wondrous, cast of the glorious Harmony, diversity, adversary The cycle of all, the rise and fall Exuberance in waste - depravity Excellence in barren nobility The lore of monumental regency The rhymes of the mountain Vast and wondrous, cast of the glorious Harmony, diversity, adversary Ordained by the weight of gravity Echoes through the halls of lore The monumental fortress of primal grace Shimmers beyond the horizon astray The cycle of all, the rise and fall Exuberance in waste - depravity Excellence in barren nobility The lore of monumental regency The rhymes of the mountain 02. Winter Thrice Lyrics by Brun
The sound of the groaning frost
Enforce the waves of blinding winters Days of reaping, nights of aghast Seasons aligned, under the wintry sign The groaning, moaning sound of this frost A blinding eternal blizzard Seasons aligned and now under the sign Of crisp eternal winter I have wandered the skies Throughout the starry neck of nowhere I have swarmed the horizon Throughout the eternal fields of everywhere Time and time again From shore to shore, from star to star The deep bloodlines of the earth as seen from afar Upon the ground of rumbling ruins History shattered, moments withering Raving forces of the inevitable I have wandered the skies Throughout the starry neck of nowhere I have swarmed the horizon Throughout the eternal fields of everywhere Time and time again From shore to shore, from star to star The deep bloodlines of the earth as seen from afar Nature, the cast of the future Upon the ground of rumbling ruins History shattered, moments withering Raving forces of the inevitable Reigning union of nature The regaining cast of the future From shore to shore, from star to star The deep bloodlines of the earth as seen from afar Horizons that host no scenery Starless, unending skies Wakes the beastly void Winter thrice Horizons that host no scenery Starless, unending skies Wakes the beastly void Starless, unending skies The dance of stardust stills Drapes the mountains Winter thrice 03. Cold Runs The River Lyrics by Hedlund
Cold runs the river
Warm runs my blood The old signs quiver And my mind mountain releases a flood A life nerve in a barren era Raised by the heat of the sun I drink its potion from well and caldera Through earth-veins it flows, forming a canyon Ice draped rocks, flesh covered bones The cabals of eternity burn in the night As the watercourse that rinses all stones Unify my path with the river site Cold runs the river Warm runs my blood Groundwater recharge, blood pumping heart Circulatory systems refined Streams of wonder, where my torrent starts Time and motion aligned Ice draped rocks, flesh covered bones The cabals of eternity burn in the night As the watercourse that rinses all stones Unify my path with the river site As the river of time and nature's crown Face season's last breath and the final exploration The surface is numb, blood slows down Frozen landscape, human deterioration Cold runs the river Warm runs my blood The old signs quiver And my mind mountain releases a flood As the river of time and nature's crown Face season's last breath and the final exploration Ice draped rocks, flesh covered bones The cabals of eternity burn in the night 04. Panorama Lyrics by Nedland
Inner landscapes provide the ground for structures
Development plans, architectural design Nature in its purest form, the very idea of being alive Intuition feeds the progression Read me, decipher every word Then multiply the dormant issues Just tear me down, then build me up again Accentuate, proliferate, recreate Vines and trees, new species on cultivated grounds Planned sequences and astonishing leaps Everything grows, everything dies Everything regenerates, slightly altered Blueprints come in three letter systems Inside repeats the outside, repeats the inside The distance between what we see and how we see it A perpetual cycle of adjustments Read me, decipher every word Then multiply the dormant issues Just tear me down, then build me up again Accentuate, proliferate, recreate Echoes of what was Resound in Between organic structures And inside them 05. When Chaos Calls Lyrics by Hedlund
Shores retreat in disarray
Melting glaciers lead the demise And connect to the rapidly rising tide A ramming fluid out of firm ice A wall of waves and an abyss of water Drench the land, coastal erosion Submerged by the increasing sea level's slaughter It stirs our inner ocean Shores retreat in disarray Melting glaciers lead the demise A wall of waves and an abyss of water Drench the land, coastal erosion When chaos calls A drowning of the skyline A world ruled by horizontal waterfalls They flood out of pandemonium's shrine We're buried by persistent snowfall It levels out topography When chaos calls A drowning of the skyline A world ruled by horizontal waterfalls No more hindrance for the storm to call Out, to destruction and catastrophe Periodic freezing unsettles Building a kingdom of frost Chaos dressed in a calm fettle Set to efface and to exhaust Submerged by the increasing sea level's slaughter It stirs our inner ocean When chaos calls A drowning of the skyline A world ruled by horizontal waterfalls When chaos calls A rift in earth's core A world ruled by horizontal waterfalls They flood out of pandemonium's shrine 06. Erodent Lyrics by Brun
The trails of existence, thrust into the future
A future that crumbles, riddance by revulsion Woven roots uphold the ground, earthly bound The ground we walked, the ground we fought Rivers drift into eternity, draining the potency The endless maze, the endless haze Shimmer stars unfold the course Waves that rave the coastal line Rain that reaped the breeding soil Wind that pierced the heart of man The fire that burns all creatures around The trails of existence, entwined through history Eras that passed, in degenerative haste Grind the roots, withering ground The ground we walked, the ground we fought Waves that rave the coastal line Rain that reaped the breeding soil Wind that pierced the heart of man The fire that burns all creatures around The ground we walked, the ground we fought A past that holds the dawn of man A march that crumbles stones to sand The vast exploration, the last ravage The prodigies of ruination Erodent A past that holds the dawn of man Erodent A march that crumbles stones to sand The trails of existence, entwined through history Waves that rave the coastal line Rain that reaped the breeding soil Wind that pierced the heart of man The fire that burns all creatures around 07. Noctilucent Lyrics by Hedlund
Noctilucent
Deep in the twilight, crystals of water ice Lightened by a sun that dwells below the viewpoint Eerie and shining clouds, on darkening skies As dust and vapor conjoins Noctilucent Deep in the twilight, crystals of water ice Lightened by a sun that dwells below the viewpoint Eerie and shining clouds, on darkening skies As dust and vapor conjoins 08. Terminus Lyrics by Hedlund
The boundary is my stronghold
I push the glacier towards the edge Stepping across the horizon's threshold With an unexplored domain to wedge I catch the sun and tame the flares As thunder strikes for a hundred years I climb the hills, they are my stairs To the starry sky and to the ardent spheres Terminus I catch the sun and tame the flares Terminus As thunder strikes for a hundred years The culmination and the foundation First man to the end of the world The gateway and the manifestation Of the borders I expand, in a storm swirled Beyond the branches, deep in the sources I have my home, I have my trust An elemental outline of the universal courses While sea and land clash under stellar dust I climb the hills, they are my stairs To the starry sky and to the ardent spheres Terminus Beyond the branches, deep in the sources Terminus I have my home, I have my trust The elemental outline of the universal courses First man to the end of the world While sea and land clash under stellar dust Raised to seek, grown to see The flames of creation and prosperity At the end of the path I build my fortress With pillars of dreams and nature's primeness 09. Dominant Winds Lyrics by Hedlund
The hills erode, a change of landmarks
And ancient trees are skinned Of (leaves) branches and the outer bark By an ever blowing wind Its rule and strength lead the rise and fall Insects drift along the sweeping regime At mountainous locations massive rainfall Still, birds follow their inner scheme From the polar cyclone A timeless and transparent grindstone And by the trade winds of the equator The air flow builds a subtropical gyrator The hills erode, a change of landmarks And ancient trees are skinned Of (leaves) branches and the outer bark By an ever blowing wind From the polar cyclone A timeless and transparent grindstone Pressure is high but the sun angle is low Dominant winds Pressure is high but the sun angle is low Dominant winds scalp the ridge's crest Cooling and condensation grows It hauls from the north and heads from east to west We're strapped in this blusterous maze Still unaware of its daily toil We'll get a glimpse of its power and pace As we're standing on degraded soil From the polar cyclone A timeless and transparent grindstone And by the trade winds of the equator The air flow builds a subtropical gyrator |
