Old & Far Away Lyrics


Cold winds heave against weathered stone

Frozen crests unseen, unconqured, unknown

Icy peaks in isolation

At the edge of the earth

Altars to gods of quartz and granite

Towering pillars of the sky

Old and far away

Rolling waves crash on distant shores

Mortal thrones swallowed by the sea

Fathomless depths below the surface

Where the sun's light cannot shine

Ancient Hadean realm of silence

Kingdom lost to the abyss

Old and far away

Under the miles of rocky layers

Powerful being dwelling in darkness

Floating within an ocean of magma

Magnetic core - soul of the earth

At the farthest reaches of the world

Where the wilderness reigns unchallenged

Primordial spirit endures

In almighty solitude

Conqueror of this planet

Before, now, and forever I am

Old and far away
