Earth Imagery - Borknagar

Amongst the elements, I surrender on eternity’s behalf

The soil on which I walk, the air in which I talk

The drop I swallowed, the fire I followed

— is the circling direction of time, the vague line of existence

The earth defines my synergy, the mountains refines me energy

The fire clouds my distant view, the flame erupts my fiery due

To Mother Earth

The ocean mirrors my purpose, the rain affirms my goals

The air shrouds my presence, the wind reveals my existence
