A Fool's Desire Lyrics

The slow cerulean tide
Sways calmly like a dream
An icy veil, agleam

Months of darkness now subside
In the blue dawn, halos beam

Crystal motes
Rise and dance
Like fireflies teem

The rising sun reveals
Mirages from afar
Beneath winter's fading stars

Coastal mountains rise like keels
Pierce horizons like jagged scars

A luring trance
Their expanse
Stirring yearning's wheels

Debark on this godforsaken shore
Cast fate to the wind and get going
Fangs like granite reapers soar
Where monstrous storms of pain are blowing

Brave the glacier tooth and claw
Grind a path to Fenrir's Jaw

Like a tombstone clad in hoar
Looming vast and ever growing

Soft, the flesh of the feeble beasts
That crawl, and nameless glory crave
Deaf to their own angels' screams
Like insects they squirm over their own grave

Rise in splendor
Or die with grandeur
When the avalanche falls
Alive or dismembered
No-one remembers
But the stone that with siren's tongue calls

Every step a spit in the eye
Of perdition waiting with sharpened blades
With every breath refuse to die
In rock and ice's vengeful cascades

Beckoning
A haunting choir
Deafening
The lifeless silence
A reckoning
For a fool's desire
Threatening
With disembodying violence

Crippling tempests
Blow rocks
Bigger than the heads they crush

One last push
To the summit
A godlike rush
Pull up the conquered lands below

Triumphant
Invincible
Like Atlas
Lifting the entire world
