Borknagar Universal 1. Havoc Nature is about to regain The firm bastion of existence A circular and furious monument Of the everlasting remnants of evolution The winds rove beyond the mountains Lurking the bate-the delusion of faith The storm distends,retribution descends The people of the sham,kneels in shame Havoc... As the blood in my veins Comes around to claim As the roots of my trails Come around to tame The dignity of Nature The winds rove beyond the mountains Lurking the bate-the delusion of fate The storm descends,retribution distends The mankind of earth,praise the new pagan path As the blood in my veins Comes around to claim As the roots of my trails Come around to tame The dignity of Nature Nature is about to sustain The evolver of existence The moment of care and fear The revolution of evolution Storm of the millennium, havoc the moment Rivers unfold, abruptly in deep oceans A breeze, a storm -havoc Storm of the millennium, havoc the moment Rivers unfold, abruptly in deep oceans 2. Reason Peeling the layers to expose the facts was like spraying and ancient painting with ammonia Faces melted, colours turned pale, shapes lost their vivacity and essences faded to distracted blurs Now the canvas is all white and my hands are unsoiled Still all reasons seems replaced By the false notion of a lucid portrait Yet again, the savage remains This empty work of art still gains a crowd The blind eagerly discuss the liveliness of its colours and the deaf insist it's accompanied by quiet chants The painter, a highly praised but anonymous deity, lurks in the periphery of the exhibition amused by the fuzz he is causing, despite his many flaws The canvas is all white and my hands are unsoiled Still all reasons seems replaced By the false notion of a lucid portrait 3. The Stir Of Seasons Seconds, minutes and hours The pace, a momentary notion Sand, stone and mountain The entwinement of time and erosion Children, youth and the man A pristine face moldered by seasons Summer, autumn and winter Behold the recoiling stir of the reasons 4. For A Thousand Years To Come A new dawn is rising To enlight the ruins of the future As a distant echo from the past Circles above , roves of the skyline Circles above, roves the skyline Dives into the future cast Years to come, years that passed a presence cached by the wind Woven in reminiscence and mystery Manifested by the dome of history Nature strives towards a new dawn Mankind oppresses, resigns and falls Into perverted conceitedness Millions of nights Millions of days existence endure through sharpen margins Thousands of years Thousands of ways all paths lead to the final steep fall Through the brim of the sun Along the ring of the verge For a thousand years to come Comes the autumn, winter, and spring For a thousand years to come Comes birth, life, and death For a thousand years... For a thousand years to come Comes birth, life, and death Nature strives towards a new dawn Mankind oppresses, resigns and falls Into perverted conceitedness Millions of nights Millions of days existence endure through sharpen margins Thousands of years Thousands of ways all paths lead to the final steep fall 5. Abrasion Tide We're ensnared by the fate if persistence As the forces of nature interact To weather slope and mountain, close and by distance Creating expanding ventifacts Running water conducts the erosion Leading grains of sand in the grind Empowered by wind, time, and oceans To wear down soil's rind A tide that changes primary plains Even principles positions A flood that runs untimely through the elements and our veins Shifting our focus and our definitions New perspective from a vaster reflection Thoughts flow like water from a hillock That's repeatedly rinsed, achieving friction Releasing knowledge of the rock An archaic course across the outer core Seasons transform while remodeling the Solum Above the altering scenery stars soar Watching the drama like diffuse phantoms The land is disintegrated by a power that was ice bound At the same time fertilized As our forefather's feet touched a ground That nature constantly has revised 6. Fleshflower White petals Red lines Highest heaven Deepest mines Vertically green This is how it's seen I never thought the world would come to this I never thought it would come to this Sturdy feet and arid ground Dusty shoes and not a sound Sturdy feet and arid ground Dusty shoes and not a sound Soft, red glow Ever so slow Never Near the flaw 7. Worldwide The principles of the nature Firm shapes of consistency A treasury concealed in time Inevitable, invincible, an axiom Diversity crafted by evolution Yet the path of the future is carved in rock As the horizontal horizon As the vertical steeps of summits The master and the apprentice Forgotten moments in history Mankind wanders, mountains stand still The master and the slave A congregation that never deceives Mankind dies, havoc never stills Fire oppose water Water oppose fire Earth oppose air Air oppose earth The way of the world The route of existence Worldwide - mankind's resistance The way of the world The route of existence Worldwide - nature's persistence Fire oppose water Water oppose fire The master and the apprentice Forgotten moments in history Mankind wanders, mountains stand still The master and the slave A congregation that never deceives Mankind dies, havoc never stills Diversity tamed by devolution With delusion comes confusion Where the crossroad never crosses The path circles for all eternity 8. My Domain There was a time A time when every moment showed A place where the symphonies shone Through branches and leaves The symphonies of nature... There was a time A time when one grew with trees A place where the seeds were falling Through branches and leaves The creation of the Nature... There is a time A time when the past returns A place where winds stir Through branches and leaves The dawn of a brighter sun A disharmonic enclosure There comes a time A time when the sun implodes A place where the current stills Under the branches and leaves The moment that ends The night of eternity descends The last sunset of my domain...
