Beautiful, oh web of stars That looms amid the sons of Earth Enfolds me in thine sylvan arms That unity's vehement charms Befalls a weary son of Earth Beautiful, in tears bereaved In sylphlike sadness, left to bleed Bewailed upon a bed of thorns Impaled, a heart, on sorrow's horns A seeker's ode to thee I read My tearful soul thy mourning heed The stream that leaves thine open wounds; A life-blood licked by hungry hounds No verdant balm to soothe our wounds Wherefore betwixt two worlds I'm torn Ere thralled by sin I'll die - forlorn This slumbering world of shallow fools May one day clasp the cosmic Hell Lest journeymen by Earthen rules Bring forth the truth for which Angels fell To the earth and sky and sea I call that thou may answer me; Father of Nature, of beast and mankind My soul for thy love, my tears for thy pain ...An Eden in fire What lives shan't remain For when I live under a different sky Beneath the ethereal hills the clouds passing by Remember the time of which I cried to be part Remember these words, for they have flown From my heart
I feel like early Dark Tranquility is too complex and progressive for me. For example take this segment 0:44 - 0:51 - this alone is enough to justify this song, but there's so much more, TOO much more... I didn't get enough of that riff and they're already feeding me the next
life is fleeting and moments go by quickly you can't always enjoy them for long ha ha. I do wonder how one makes more songs out of a couple riffs. would be a neat project to hear either of you do so. my fav part is 2:30 and forward
@@gnomueaux lol cheers brother yeah this albums timeless. Been listening to it forever. I dont crack it out often but its always enjoyable when I do. Yourself?
