vast souls - runes beneath the bark lyrics
in silence, always watching
the tragedy of sentience
in impotence…
in our omnipotence
are we so powerless
to quell the rage of man?
they slaughtered us…
and still…
we pity our conquerors
we could not save them
from their own will…
the poison of avarice
swims in their veins
they yearn for destruction…
(main 1)
o pitiful man
flayed wide upon the altar of time
thy valour seen truthfully
for the first time
you think in death i am vulnerable?
i am the dagger that slits the cosmos’ throat…
i am the river through which all wade…
i am time, i am light…
o pitiful man
you can never corrupt me!
cosmic winds strip the soul;
celestial waters ferrying stars!
the ground you covet
as slave to your l-st
will never bend
it will add you to the stars
i see your name
carved beneath the bark
in old tongues
that dryads speak…
the oak trees bay
the druids cry out
as the derelict will of man
skins the trees
in pursuit of secrets
in unknown tongues
which, in a heartbeat
they would destroy
i look upon the gaunt face of man
washed pale in the shade of doom
through one thousand eyes
clouded with tears
woe unto the fate of man
sundered by the winds of time
for each tree they cut
so to did they fall
one by one
leaving only their rune beneath the bark
o blighted child…
like a pariah
your cries resound in vain
from hill top to glade
from star to star
you are alone
lost and d-mned!
may you find solace
in the abject stillness of death
as your throat fills with roots
and your veins co-rs- soil
may your cries resound
between the trees
and fade into nothing
peaceful and still
and still…
we weep as you perish
as a mother mourns her child
as the life drains from its face
we weep…
sleep beneath this wood
of growing tombstones
with runes beneath their bark
