Letra Northward Borknagar

Northward

Where barren mountains rise, soft echoes roam
A canvas powdered white, this is my home
Far from the noise, I find solace profound
In our lore, where frosted tales resound
It's what my very essence yearns to see

Where desolation holds its strange allure
I thrive amidst the whiteness, strong, secure
Far from the warmth of summer's damp embrace
Through boundaries I've torn, seeking my space
Northward, I wander, drawn by destiny

These vast expanses of icy terrain
Where frozen whispers kiss the wind's refrain
Amidst the harshest beauty, I endure
Embracing the untamed, the cold, and pure
Northward I journey, following my way

In this remote dominion, winter's grace
There's strength in the white vastness of this place
These measureless expanses, my domain
A testament to all that I attain
Until my footprints slowly fade away

In the aurora's dance, an opus weaves
With notes only a northerner retrieves
So let the Arctic winds just howl and roar
These mountains are my home forevermore

The solar wind starts whispering its call to court
Behold the answer of the true northern gods
Magnetospheric turbulence to guide your heart

Northward we stray

Far away, far from any noise
Far away, the solar wind starts whispering its call to court
Far away, behold the answer of the true northern gods

Away from summer's damp embrace
Vast boundaries we've torn seeking space
Northward we wander drawn by the untamed
Amidst the harshest beauty we endure
Embracing the cold and pure

Here we are under the stellar dome of stars
Try take command, there's nothing you can do
Too big or small to change the fact
The here-and-now defines the truth
So, humble up, take the reins and let go
The doom of every legend ever calling you
Through the mycorrhizal symbiosis, me and you
Either way, left is right today, up is down
It's all the same to me
Embracing the untamed, the cold, the pure
Until reality comes knocking at the door
Then I see who I am, who you are, in this moment
The only place to be, to live until released
To shape the mountains for posterity
