Lyrics

[00:29.03] Title:The Watcher's Mondlith
[00:29.62] Band:Agalloch
[01:29.92] Blue textures cascade downward to the base of the monolith
[01:36.72] Like brush strokes on a canvas of souls
[01:43.91] Two arms reach out a cloak of silent nihil
[01:50.93] Revenants untouched by the scythe
[01:55.68] They are lost in the dark woods of time
[01:59.89]
[02:12.42] Aloft in the landscape that you hail
[02:19.35] I am the fog that seeps over here in the early hours
[02:28.57]
[03:17.51] Standing proud in the hollow of the land
[03:28.05] A vestige of deeper purity etched in spirit agaisnt the sky
[03:42.97]
[04:27.70] The menhir had runes carved in limbs of oaken sovereignty
[04:34.40] and could see the ages growing from within the palms
[04:41.57] I can feel the era slipping into oblivion,
[04:48.48] no longer grasping the textures
[04:52.37] I am slowly becoming stone
[04:59.45] As wolves celebrate the dusk,
[04:59.54]
[05:06.52] an old voice of wisdom haunts the vale
[05:11.29]
[05:28.01] Shapes flicker in the fire light through the windows
[05:35.08] The woodlands burn with grace
[05:36.78] Their silence drowns the age
[05:41.33]
[05:56.38] As wandering ghosts pass through the flames
[06:03.36] A new age of rebirth lights the dawn
[06:07.35]
[06:37.29] But who are they who pass by the window?
[06:43.97] The shapes; like black solar wheels scorched in the snow
[06:51.68] by gods of the stone...
[06:57.17] This elder stone shall never fall!
[07:00.94]
[07:14.86] Cast the aeons into the void
[07:21.67] So that no other can seek them
[07:25.68] No age, no hands shall taint them
[07:28.88] Pour the sorrows into the sun
[07:35.62] They are lost forever in dark woods of time
[07:43.18] Carve the symbols into the stone
[07:50.12] So that another can find them
[07:54.03] No age, no hands shall change them
[07:57.61] Pour the ages into the sun
[08:04.45] They are lost forever in the dark woods of time
[08:20.32] -------Music to the End------
