Song In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion
Artist Agalloch
Album The Mantle

Lyrics

[02:14.417] Through vast valleys I wander
[02:19.471] To the highest peaks
[02:22.498] On pathways through a wild forgotten landscape
[02:31.921] In search of God, in spite of man
[02:38.925] 'til the lost forsaken endless
[02:42.981] This is where I choose to tread
[02:47.694] Fall… so shall we fall into the nihil?
[03:00.142] The nothingness that we feel in the arms of the pale
[03:08.314] In the shadow of the grim companion who walks with us
[03:22.090] Here is the landscape
[03:26.244] Here is the sun
[03:30.499] Here in the balance of the earth
[03:38.754] As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand
[03:47.018] The fire in my heart is forged across the land
[03:55.444] Here at the edge of this world
[03:59.616] Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
[04:10.687] If this grand panorama before me is what you call God
[04:23.707] Then God is not dead
[08:19.868] I walked down to a river and sat in reflection of what had to be done
[08:41.767] An offering of crimson flowed into the water below
[08:53.347] A wound of spirit from which it floated and faded away
[09:02.094] like every hope I've ever had
[09:11.781] like every dream I've ever known
[09:21.377] It washed away in a tide of longing, a longing for a better world
[09:33.371] From my will, my throat, to the river, and into the sea
[12:35.104] Here is the landscape
[12:39.269] Here is the sun
[12:43.496] Here at the edge of the earth
[12:51.701] As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand
[12:59.783] My heathen pride is scarred across the land
