Circled - Borknagar

Thought formed the earth as earth formed the thought —

It flew with the wind as the wind always sought the fire of

Feat

The soma of motion

Producing the sweat that set off the corrosion that made the

Flesh turn into earth again

So let the water drink you as Ophelia did —

Beloved daughter and cherished sister

Or worship the earth that Pompeii once hid

Differing not between vagrant and minister

Take heed to the wind and its soft fingertips and fire’s red

Thoughts and smouldering lips

So let the water drink you as Ophelia did —

Beloved daughter and cherished sister

Or worship the earth that Pompeii once hid

Differing not between vagrant and minister

Sense — will you show me the way to the matter of radiant

Living

Of having to shatter the fundamentals of intoxicant

Thinking?

Opposing the stream, never stirring or blinking

But firmly preserving Sisyphus' work

The boulder rolls heavily — is it in vain?

Deducing the truth again and again

The wind speeds up as the earth turns hard

The mountain swells up but reaps pure disregard from

Mythology

History and all in between

So let the water drink you as Ophelia did —

Beloved daughter and cherished sister

Or worship the earth that Pompeii once hid

Differing not between vagrant and minister
