Rückenfigur Lyrics

Past​ ​forests​ ​of​ ​rotting​ ​men
And​ ​the​ ​Hall​ ​of​ ​Fire
From​ ​the​ ​seaside
To​ ​these​ ​mountains​ ​high

Life​ ​flows
Colossal
Pits,​ ​peaks
Craggy​ ​eaves

Of​ ​ancient​ ​age
Or​ ​violent​ ​change

Wind​ ​whips
Black​ ​coattails​ ​cleaved
Back​ ​turned
In​ ​human​ ​rebellion

Rückenfigur
Frozen​ ​silhouette
Rückenfigur
Scars​ ​the​ ​aspect
Rückenfigur
Survey​ ​the​ ​lands
Rückenfigur
Wild​ ​and​ ​unplanned

Wind​ ​whips
Visage​ ​obscured
Powerfully​ ​posed
Inhuman​ ​rebellion

The​ ​darkness​ ​of​ ​thought
Allows​ ​little​ ​light

Better​ ​to​ ​hold
Fast​ ​to​ ​the​ ​void

Immeasurable​ ​distance
Dizzying​ ​depths
Time's​ ​beautiful​ ​labors
Unconquered
Defiance

There​ ​is​ ​poverty
In​ ​personal​ ​perspectives
False​ ​reality's
Traps​ ​allude

Willful​ ​ignorance
Painful​ ​indifference
Pedantic​ ​inquiries
Studious​ ​scrutiny

Neither​ ​beauty
Nor​ ​power
Need​ ​false​ ​ideals

The​ ​darkness​ ​of​ ​thought
Allows​ ​little​ ​light

Better​ ​to​ ​hold
Fast​ ​to​ ​the​ ​void

Better​ ​to​ ​hold​ ​on
Fast​ ​to​ ​the​ ​void

Life​ ​flows
Cyclical
Cliffs,​ ​pits,
Craggy​ ​eaves
Of​ ​ancient​ ​age
And​ ​violent​ ​change

Rückenfigur
Frozen​ ​silhouette
Rückenfigur
Scars​ ​the​ ​aspect
Rückenfigur
Boldly​ ​stands
Rückenfigur
Surveys​ ​the​ ​lands
