Dia Artio [instrumental] Behold The Vastness And Sorrow Behold the vastness and sorrow of this empty land A dark and fell rider clad in garments of shadow Is the lord of this place A cruel and wanton king, A priest of a black religion is he The hoof beat of the rider's steed pound a mournful drumbeat upon the dry cracked earth To this rhythm the world moves The sun blasts down upon the earth Until the soil turns to powder and blows away Lifeless chaos is the order for the rider has mastered the seasons Ancient kings cairns now have been defiled The gates of strongholds long breached left swinging lifelessly in the fetid wind The pillars of holy places lie dead He rides day and night The relentless hoof beats echoes Cleansing Behold all that you now know... evil, evil Let's to the darkest place we know Outside of the rider's domain To the heart of the wood To the hidden places To the clearing in the forest enchanted Yes, to the darkest place that we know Outside of the rider's domain To the heart of the wood To the hidden places beyond the briar thickets The dance must begin as dusk gathers around Our skin drum and rattle Know the tune Jaw bone driven through The skull of a great foe Bested with wooden spear The tip hardened in fire Bathe in the clear cold stream Fresh water from the unsullied endless spring that flows from the mountain We will sing the most ancient song Spark the fire upon dry tinder The dance must begin as dusk gathers around Our skin drum and rattle Know the tune Jaw bone driven through The skull of a great foe Bested with wooden spear The tip hardened in fire I Will Lay Down My Bones Among The Rocks And Roots The torment has ended The beast has done his work Great fires rage outside of this wooded sanctuary But soon they will be quenched by a purifying rain The embers of the ceremonial fire burn to ash A new warmth stirs within the center of the earth I am alone here no more The wood is filled with the sounds of wildness The songs of birds fill the forest on this new morning This will be my new home Deep within the most sacred grove The sun god is born anew I will lay down my bones among the rocks and roots of the deepest hollow next to the streambed The quiet hum of the earth's dreaming is my new song When I awake, the world will be born anew Lyrics in plain text format
