lyrics

The might of mountains cannot move the shadows they cast,
They reach taller and taller until they suffocate
The taller the peak, the heaver carapace of ice
How mighty is the mountain? Stones crumble, mountains die

The storm crushes its ubra upon the dirt,
Its shroud calling eclipse the life below
When thunder is weary, what now remains?
How mighty is a storm? Tempests die, thunder wanes

Bear in a breath can rend flesh, she mourns for none
Bear, jaw and claw can grind bone, she fears none
Can she feast upon her shadow? She cannot remain
Phantoms rot in her belly; teeth and claws decay

When Sol kneels, our shadows rise
We watch, believe we are as high
We lash them to cloaks hewn of pride
Terror blooms with falling of the light




Freed forever in the depths of night

Earth’s shadow conceals and reveals the Moon
She flees across the sky, never to escape her doom
How mighty is the Earth, her shadow an obscuring blight?
Her fires will quell, her boulders will melt, in time Earth too will die

Time pursues all, the calf and bull alike
In time, stars will shatter, mirrored beams alight
In time, time will cease, the last hours’ strike,
Days bleed to naught, seconds forgot, the eons will die

In the shadow of strength, what am I?
Will of stone and cursed eyes?
A wave on the sea, a needle in pine
I will grow old, I will grow ill, I too shall die

Surrender to all, unleash the storm
Death in mind, a flurry of stone
Grasping smoke, the tip of the claw
Aligned in form, destroyer of worlds
Die inside, the bursting of stars
Fall into void, never in shadow
