MIST OF THE MAELSTROM LYRICS

1. When The Ocean Returns

I went to the valley
alone with my thoughts
cold wind from the mountains
caresses my face
Oh, where will I wander
when the ocean returns?
Oh, where will I wander
when the darkness surrounds?

Past sunset I stay here
and wait for the dawn
After dusk I remain here
to see the first light
I'll wait for all ages
I'll wait for all time
all will be forgotten
when the ocean returns

I'll wait for all time
I'll wait for all time

As the waters rise,
here I am standing
waiting for the end of all things

When the ocean returns
Here I will wait

I went to the valley
alone with my thoughts
cold wind from the mountains
caresses my face
Oh, where will I wander
when the ocean returns?
Oh, where will I wander
when the darkness surrounds?

2. Ancient Lore

In my dreams
I have seen
This place before

Ancient lore has spoken
of a place such as this
But waking eyes have never
faced such wonder
before

3. This Exquisite Corpse

See you transform
before my ever-watching eye
Life to death
Profane to sacred
Mortal to immortal
No decay
No decay
Purify

Purity of form
for all time
Your new godlike mold
This exquisite corpse

(What choice do you have? To wither into nothingness, alone and forgotten, or to outlast the ages? To reach what lies beyond, you must pass through life.)
(One day you will hang beside the screaming dead, and on that day you will achieve perfection in parched skin and dry bone. You will achieve immortality)
(All the beauty of a man's life fades with his dying breath; the only undying beauty is death.)

4. White Light

White light
Burns my eyes
I wake and see
The truth
Blind your eyes
If you have fear

5. Olympus Mons

Maker of stone, rise...
Bringer of fire, rise, rise!

Wake from thy slumber
Raise thy peak
You will be a god again
Hail to thee!

Sleeping, waiting
An ancient power
Maker of stone, bringer of fire
Rise
Restore thy fallen summit
Reign once more
Spread thy fire, thy fury
Upon the surface of mars

Spread thy fire
Thy fury
On the surface
Of mars

6. Like All Woods

Autumn falls once again
Just as ten thousand times before
This wood is like all woods
This wood is mine

Arachnid, weave your silken web among the grasses
Beyond the forest in this immortal lea
Nothing dies here, no leaves fallen
This land is immortal
Nothing dies here, no leaves fall in
the immortal lea
