lyrics

The Atavistic Forest ©

From the ancient stones I walk through the shadows
Orchestrations of life deemed a separate path
With my hands I embrace the circle of life
Caressed by spirits once through death

Haunting silence dwells upon this starlit forest
Creatures from the dark soon bare witness to the sun
Condemn those without my whisper by their side
Release my mind from echoes of madness

This cold layer of ice shall never thaw
My dark embrace will never die

The hourglass of time follows us through the stars
The howling winds of old carried through the misty trees
My eyes behold no sign of life
Staring down to darkness
Dreams besiege the fallen star among the dead

We are reclaiming this land
For the transcending matter
No more relinquishing worlds
Calling us to our home

Fallen stone
Take my throne

I am the past
I am the future
Lost in my chambers
Now treading behind
Falling back to shadows
Where no light survives

Drifting realms beneath my surface
Their seeds conceal an open ocean
The river's mouth silently opens
Revealing the atavistic forest

My hands placed against the fountain
Endorsing darkness to cast the light away

Soil from the ground is dying
No tree shall grow again
The sound of snowfall
Forevermore

The hourglass of time drifts away in the night
The burning touch of ice
Frozen
All the life
Rising roots to the sky
Beyond the frozen lakes
Within the fading woods of the atavistic forest

Beneath my trees
Atop my lifeless soil
Silence
I bow to you
