The Winter Eclipse - Borknagar

A long gone presence unfolds

Through the eye of the winter eclipse

Where the moments of history hold

The shadows of a vast ancestral cast

This path walked by generations

Eroded by man, illuminated by the Sun

Ancestors and fathers, as fathers and sons

The everlasting continuance

Of time, space and diversity

The bias of cosmic regency

Manifested by the vast complexity

The winter seasons, the pain of sorrow

The fallacy of chaos, the emptiness of hollow

The cogency of reason, the reversion of future

The maze of evolution, the ways of elucidation

Ruinous and regenerative

The hive of an oscillating existence

Resounds through the halls of silence

Rebounds under the dome of origin

Ruinous and regenerative

The hive of an oscillating existence

Of time, space and diversity

The bias of cosmic regency

Manifested by the vast complexity

Through the winter eclipse

This path walked by generations

Eroded by man, illuminated by the Sun

Ancestors and fathers, as fathers and sons

The everlasting continuance

A long gone presence unfolds

Through the eye of the winter eclipse

Where the moments of history hold

The shadows of a vast ancestral cast
