Prying Open the Jaws of Eternity Lyrics


Frosts breath on silent fields

Sleeping gods of river and oak

A moment suspended in time

reflected in the heart of the mountain

Deep sigh of hallowed slumber

Shake the sleep from the eyes of the world

A celestial grave I long to return to

Reflected in the heart of the mountain

A vision

From the depths of my soul

A sacred song of twilight to call the spirits home

Forgotten

Like the voice of the wind

The ever flowing echos

Of eternity within

Chorus 1:

Born of dust and ash

Reflected in the stars

Ancient blood of mountains

The memories of a thousand lives

A calling

From the eye of the world

To make the sacred bind

And give myself to her

A burden

Of the highest honor bared

To walk the lonely road

Each step an earthen prayer

Chorus 2:

Born of dust and ash

Reflected in the sky

To walk a sacred path

To bare the gift of sight

Soaring ever higher

Across the plains of time

The birth and death of a thousand worlds

Like shifting sand in moonlit tides

Repeat chorus 1

A glimpse through the cracks of eternity

To the sacred depths of life

The dust of a thousand planets

Burns within our minds

Repeat chorus 2

The day I die

Bury me among the stars

And worship my memory

As the warm autumn wind
