bandfan25 A lovely, melodic, atmospheric and elegant black metal album! One can feel the cold winds of the Redhorn... Favorite track: The Cruel Summit.

Winter's End 06:04
In fields of gray, cloaked in a low-low light But we know that this is just the beginning Caught in the gloaming of a brand new age A spin of the wheel once more A thousand drops before the pour. And with a burst from below, All things will find their way to drink from the fountain of smoke. And this rain will not wash away our bodies Nor dampen our spirits. What if there is no flood, to carry me from this place? And what if the end is the beginning, But the middle is all we are?
2.
Feel this moment erupt as she completes you And all the shining things will rust if she wants them to. With a mouthful of earth, I let my arms become the roots To pull my unborn self from the bottom.
3.
Awake now, somehow Darkness like walls And still so long until the night comes So the mind digs a tunnel These hours pass like centuries My scream won't come The howling night goes on How long, how long? And on and on and on and on Will I face the cruel stars or will crumble before the infinite There is no answer so I wait, pondering, alone again. The howling night goes on... how long, how long? The tunnels of your mind, devoid of place time Settle your nerves with water and smoke And all your thoughts considered and spoke We'll never wake if we dwell in the place Where darkness locks the doors and erases the taste Settle your nerves

An Elegy 03:17
We saw the light. We saw the light before the forest burned. We saw the light. We saw the light before it burned away. We saw the light. We saw the light before the forest burned away.

Evening Star 05:07
He sprang from the ocean's cup In the gloom of the mid-world's rim From the door of night as a ray of light Lept over the twilight brim And launching his bark like a silver spark From the golden-fading sand Down the sunlit breath of the day's fiery death He fled the western lands
6.
Esterbend 05:47
But you no longer see the far horizon... The firmament is eternally blue, but you How long can you possibly live? Friends, empty your golden cups Friends, o friends... esterbend The maiden sends out looks of longing Her cruel baring, a disguise The dust covers the land, But I will no longer roam to far-off places As the world sleeps I stand waiting for a friend To bid the last farewell And the blue firmament Glows in the autumn dusk Ewig
