Metal Monday LVIII - Der Wanderer Part II

4/3/2017

A continuation from last week, another select track from the compilation album called Der Wanderer Uber Dem Nebelmeer. A powerful song born from the wraiths of the woods, Gallowbraid.

Earthen Throne

-In darkness, this is true emptiness
-Left cold in the wake of the ……
-
-A scream tears the sky for every past and ….
- At sundown…..
-…. And the wind
-And in the silence I wander and wait
-Never again to be heard or seen
-Nothing moves on my way through the wood…
-……this vault of memories
-the claws of the wilted (trees?)
-tearing my flesh, feed on my soul
-across this trail and into the clearing
-I fall to the cold and empty plain
-I know I’ll never return here
-I have…. Horizon below the stars
-this is true (emptiness?)
-Left cold in the void that we left behind
-A tear is shed for every moment lost
-a scream (wraps?) the earth but death remains unmoved
-…asunder…
-… fall dead against the glacial sky
-As the silence …
-Never again to leave these aspen trees
-The sorrow…
-All regrets and torturous nostalgia
-I’ve given way to emptiness
-I’ve given way to nothingness
-With bitter resolve unto the leaf-strewn ground
-I forge my final moment
-… (for the gray?) of this place
-…… in the absence of your grace

4:25 - The sun will fall to ash tonight
-The stars will fall as ash tonight
-……We will be as one again
- The sun will fall as ash tonight
-The stars will fall as ash Tonight
-…. In stone and death, we will be as one forever
-Forever -We drift as gentle as time and snowfall
-As gray as the shades of…..
-as fragile as the earthen hall
-so bury us into the cycle, so bury us into the cycle tonight
-for all we see is darkened skies
-where all is lost and daylight dies ((blends into next line))
-come redeem my heart, will be reborn to fall and (burn?)
-See….will burn the night
-… dark will cry?
-come redeem my heart, will be reborn to fall and (burn?)
-this tree has grown from the ashes of our past
-so that all of us remain
-this tree has grown from the ashes of our path
-so that all our hearts remain
-this tree has grown from the ashes of our past
-so that all of us remains
-this tree has grown from the ashes of our paths
-so that all our hearts remains

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
