Prying Open the Jaws of Eternity

Frosts breath on silent fields Sleeping gods of river and oak A moment suspended in time Reflected in the heart of the mountain Deep sigh of hallowed slumber Shake the sleep from the eyes of the world A celestial grave I long to return to Reflected in the heart of the mountain A vision From the depths of my soul A sacred song of twilight to call the spirits home Forgotten Like the voice of the wind The ever flowing echos Of eternity within Born of dust and ash Reflected in the stars Ancient blood of mountains The memories of a thousand lives A calling From the eye of the world To make the sacred bind And give myself to her A burden Of the highest honor bared To walk the lonely road Each step an earthen prayer Born of dust and ash Reflected in the sky To walk a sacred path To bare the gift of sight Soaring ever higher Across the plains of time The birth and death of a thousand worlds Like shifting sand in moonlit tides Born of dust and ash Reflected in the stars Ancient blood of mountains The memories of a thousand lives A glimpse through the cracks of eternity To the sacred depths of time The dust of a thousand planets Burns within our sacred minds Born of dust and ash Reflected in the sky To walk a sacred path To bare the gift of sight The day I die Bury me among the stars And worship my memory As the warm autumn wind
