Primordial's music is also for me life-giving, often in a weird way through its darkness, but this song has something both darkly yearning and exquisitely joyful about it, a moment of almost unbearable rightness.
Among the ruins of materialism and the modern world, a group from Ireland still deals with the ancient ideal of romanticism, celtic heritage, traditionalism and struggle!!!
This damn song - it's like it always existed in another reality and simply showed up, whole and perfect in this one. Something so effortlessly right about it.
Who would pray to anything but the mountain And wish for anything but lightening to split the night Who would praise anything but the sun above That brings each dawn and our radiant day What man places faith in his heart Above the animal that rages deep inside What man wish forgiveness yet lies his whole life Let the animal hunt on the mountainside And let lightening split my heart in two Let me howl at the moon with desire And stretch my arms wide to embrace the sun
Who would pray to anything but the mountain And wish for anything but lightening to split the night Who would praise anything but the sun above That brings each dawn and our radiant day What man places faith in his heart Above the animal that rages deep inside What man asks forgiveness yet Lies to himself his whole life Let the animal hunt on the mountainside And let lightening split my heart in two Let me howl at the moon with desire And stretch my arms wide to embrace the sun Return to the earth that bore me For there is nothing more
I have been wondering about the final two lines: "Return to the earth that bore me For there is nothing more". I can't hear them in the song but I have seen them everywhere when I google the lyrics. Is there another version of the song out there, or am I just missing something?
There is no other version, the lyrics were probably already submitted for publishing when they changed their minds and omitted those lines, or something like that.
If you listen closely to Primordial songs printed lyrics are often other than the lyrics sung. Mostly it's just a word missing or added. Alan explained in an interview years ago that he writes the lyrics but when he sings them he feels to need change them a little bit because of emotions. He also sings the songs quite a little bit different live than on CD. Not everytime but sometimes. Nothing is hewn in stone he said in that interview and when singing it's a total emotional thing for him so that he get's carried away and doesn't want to change it afterwards because that wouldn't be authentic. One more reason to love Primordial.
As a satanist.. The second verse deeply pleases me .. "What man places faith in his heart Above the animal that rages deep inside What man asks forgiveness yet Lies to himself his whole life"
love that there are still bands that can play metal without having to growl or shred ,the raw emotion in the entire band beats most others i heard today
Because they are a damn hard listen demanding some introspection. I would be shocked to find them popular in this world due to the demands they place on the audience.
Who the fuck could possibly vote this down??? Primordial are everything that's RIGHT about metal. In an era where the genre has never been so completely devoid of soul and integrity, they are true artists whose every note rings with true metal spirit. If you don't like the music - fine. But honesty of effort like theirs doesn't deserve a thumbs down!!!
I listen to this song over and over again the last few days.. So epic, so addictive.. What a great melancholic tune.. This album is even better then TTND and TGW, which I thought, was impossible to achieve..
One of the few bands who have consistently, year on year, album upon album, improved and improved and put out amazing work. I'll gladly buy any album they put out. In a time when I don't do blind allegiance to anything or anyone, Primordial have earned my respect and sustained support. Brilliant band.
Flawless. In a genre known for its hits as much as its misses, this is jaw dropping and exhilarating and one of the best bands in the extreme meta scene.
I was listening to another band, and Primordial and this particular song came on, never heard of Primordial so I decided to listen. DAMN....... where did this come from? You guys sound awesome as fucking hell. I am now a fan.... thanks Rick
Connecting to mother nature, listening to a complex simplicity, a romance of words held only by the woods and my soul feels numb, enlighted by this powerful song. Thank you Primordial for inspiring real music to all of us
I freaking love Primordial. I haven't bought this album yet, but I have all the others in their discography. After hearing this... well, it's on my list.
Best LIVE Band in the world, ive seen Primordial for the 19th time now live. and ive seen about 400+ Bands live. Nothing compares with primordial. I fucking love them. only got one tattoo of them...thats not enough.
You guys NEED to visit your ancient viking brothers in Denmark soon again You SLAYED at Viborg Metal Festival.. Seriously, you almost had me in tears several times over, it was all SO epic
Esta música me enchina la piel las guitarras suenan al máximo soy afortunado de escuchar y conocer esta banda demasiado sentimientos q me llevan alas montañas frías lejos de la humanidad aquí en los bosques majestuoso s en solitario es cuando realmente soy yo saludos a quienes lean estas letras
I've only been into primordial for the last 5 or 6 years. late comer i know *hangs head in shame* but i feel like I should have known about them my whole life. words can't express the feelings their music conjours in my heart.
first timw hearing this band wow...now they are in my playlist... great music cx i hear all types of metal an rock...and its the first time i hear this band...good one
rediscovered them about a year before "Puritan's Hand". Redesicovered because I found out I actualyl had a cassette of their Debut album a friend had sent me in the mid 90s, listed as "Prime Immortal" *rolls eyes* and didn't realize it was the same band because of how extensively they've evolved over the years. One of my favorite bands, and AA is an amazing orator, as a front man. Would love to have them come to Mexico so I could finally see them live!
