steignyr - awakening part i: the echoes lyrics
8. awakening part i: the echoes (feat. sir ian mckellen)
the skald is spreading the word through every town and every country. eventually, they reach the ears of a pilgrim, a man unable to distinguish lies from truth. he decides to climb a sacred mountain where fjolnir, the creator, reveals he has been chosen
13 families rule our world
since the beginning of each era
we have been through this before
trapped in ourselves before extinction
they tried to warn us, travelers came
signals from the sky, decadence and pain
what most of us don’t listen was meaningful
truth is hard to bear, you laughed and they won
[chorus]
the story is repeating again
like there’s no way to start over
there’s a pressure deep inside
a vacuum turns my limbs older
it’s so painful and clear
n0body listens to me
if i’m losing my mind
can i get rid of me?
the news spread through the city, a song that’s heard in the wind
a skald is traveling around, he sings about a mountain and path of light
wouldn’t it be marvelous? to live in harmony
but should i care for anyone if my soul’s not at ease?
the sacred mountain top, i’m giving it a shot
get out of home, i don’t need much but i have no job
won’t ask for help, i’ve been too proud
i’m just a human being
full of flaws, full of dreams, full of shattered mass
[chorus]
leaving the valley of safety
the mountains’ top won’t let me see the stars
sometimes i struggled but faith got crushed
if there’s no mystic answer, at least i’ll rest tonight
the path is cold and bouldered
the higher the colder, the darker the lonelier
now there’s no way back
atop of the mountain, the pilgrim rests his feet and a voice speaks out loud
[the vision of fjolnir]
it’s been a long journey, hasn’t it? most of your kind underestimate the power that a simple climb can bring. i have always been beside you, intertwined with your soul. i’m glad i can finally speak to you, that you can connect with your true self before a beast devours it
they say that i am as old as time, as old as your beautiful earth. my visions couldn’t reach you at first, but now it’s time. time is running out. i have so many names, and now they are yours as well. our kind has always been at war, the same old story of good against evil and light against darkness. we have emerged in every generation, in every historical event, reincarnations and rebirths, all with different names but the same purpose, intertwined with human souls
we were here at the beginning and we’ll be here when it ends, even when the new dawn comes. i have other children like us, family, and my purpose is to bring us all together. the order and chaos have been battling to tear us apart, but we always end up crossing paths, through a greeting or a simple glance. some never knew we were there, but the “others” have managed to control humanity through violence and guns, repression and pressure, greed and imbalance, turning even our machines and art into weapons to perpetuate their fake society
the war has been raging for millennia and it will only end with a winner and a loser, the prize being the souls of humanity. they seek destruction, especially self+destruction, feeding on pain and suffering. to weaken us, they hurt us, break our hearts, destroy our dreams, and pull the strings. they feed on blood, frustration, impotence, and injustice, but don’t rely on these feelings, they are “their” creation. humans were meant to be happy, to feel the perfect harmony of a beautiful creation, but this world has been destroyed by them
they hate harmony and peace, as it weakens them, makes them invisible. they come from a wasted land and enslave humanity while destroying our own world with wars, commerce, and selfishness. you must find our kind, our family, and awaken them to a wider reality. we are not alone in this universe, there’s more, there’s wisdom
let’s travel this path together, from now on. once awakened, you will be able to see, and i will guide you
13 families rule our world
since the beginning of each era
we have been through this before
trapped in ourselves prior to extinction
he cannot believe his ears. he climbs down feeling something changes
he’s got a quest to fulfill: the pilgrim must find a last guardian asleep
[chorus]
