Prying Open the Jaws of Eternity Songtext
von Blackbraid

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

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

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

Born of dust and ash
Reflected in the stars
Ancient blood of mountains
The memories of a thousand lives

A glimpse through the cracks of eternity
To the sacred depths of time
The dust of a thousand planets
Burns within our sacred minds


Born of dust and ash
Reflected in the sky
To walk a sacred path
To bare the gift of sight

The day I die
Bury me among the stars
And worship my memory
As the warm autumn wind
