Cult Of Luna
The Long Road North



1. Cold Burn

Breathe into the harrowing wind
To uncover truths hidden by snow
Melting water cleanses the ground

Breathe into the freezing haze
The cold burns like salt in a wound

Howl
Your skull is screaming
The sky darkens
Visions dragged from light
Ice pierces your skin
Carving wounds from within

Pain moves through every vein
Frost covers figures too dim for you to see

Years go by faster
Seasons no longer hold their line
From its den under the mountain
Wings spread out across the night

Howl
Your skull is screaming
The sky darkens
Visions dragged from light

Pain moves through every vein
Frost covers figures too dim for you to see

The cold burns


2. The Silver Arc

Screams that linger still
Like nails buried deep

Blind faith reigns forever
Far beyond their vision of truth

They stood
Where memories pass
A mark
A premonition of what's to come

Waiting - watching

Born from a broken womb
Pain is breeding life
Deliver names of the chosen
Until a silver lining cracks the sky

Blind faith reigns forever
Far beyond their vision of truth

Blind faith reigns forever


3. Beyond (I)

Someone's calling out my name
I hear the echo, bleak and frail
Every time I close my eyes
I see you

Something's moving up ahead
Shadows flickering and vague
My feet are cold, my eyes are dim
As I fall down

Beneath a sky of black and blue
Into a night that never ends
Every time I close my eyes
I see you


4. An Offering to the Wild

The last birds have left
Exiled by winter
Lights of the north
A dancing halo

Stretching over mountains
The whispers forge every lake

Far have you wandered
Lay down
Close your eyes
Embrace the final rest
Long lasting calls wither and die

A fading sun
A falling star
A growing rage
A distant roar

Your fire betrayed you
The scent reveals where you hide
Shadows reaching to claim your reeking skin
Signs of a storm, no need to repent
This wall is heading for you, its will is your end


5. Into the Night

Into the night
Walk through the rain
Away from the lights
And in the distance
You're fading away

And I run through the night
Across the bridge beneath the sky

When I let go of your hand
You vanished in plain sight
I hear you calling
To meet you where the river ends

Into the night
It's coming my way
I see your face
Dissolve in the rain

And I run through the night
Across the bridge beneath the sky

When I let go of your hand
You vanished in plain sight
I hear you calling
To meet you where the river ends


6. Full Moon


7. The Long Road North

The red creek carries me home, always
Burying my roots where I can breathe

The heart directs me north, always
Where the sky erupts with colours

A faint song turns into a storm
Calling me back to where I belong

Every field and lake you see
Will forever be a part of me
Birch trees on each side
And the beat of my heart as a guide

The wind whispers my name, always
I let it lead me to where it ends

A faint song turns into a storm
Calling me back to where I belong

Memories cling on
As I walk the long road north


8. Blood upon Stone

When winter denies the dawn
When the sun is held captive
There is no place where you can run
Out here you'll die alone

Blood upon stone
The hunt is on

Now you will see
Now you will embrace your end

When light wins the struggle
When rays burn through the fog

Blood upon stone
The hunt is on

Now you will see
Now you will embrace your end
Surrender to me
Give in and descend

The night has left you
But darkness remains

Pale hands seek shelter
Tears turn earth to clay

Your star is fading
It bleeds you out
Your star is fading
What's left is an empty void

Your star is fading


9. Beyond (II)
