Afar Songtext
von Borknagar

In infinite whiteness, among icy veils
Where boundless plains follow the northern sky′s trails
Where boundless plains follow the northern sky's trails

At the neck of nowhere, a transcendent place
Where rain merges with snow in delicate grace
My spirit adrift in silent flight
Immersed in the beauty of shimmering light

My heart pounds beneath the starlit dome
Shrouded in affection, forever home

The primordial drama where our lives unfold
With whispers of sagas yet to be told
Where mountains and streams hum their ancient song
I belong, forever, in solitude strong


Beneath the celestial awning, I stand
Absorbed by the grandeur of nature′s command
Nature's command (command)

At the neck of nowhere, a transcendent place
Where rain merges with snow in delicate grace

Forever embraced by the stars' tender glow
Withdrawn in its splendor, my life force will flow
In the cold distance where forever resides
I will blend with the essence that nature provides

At the neck of nowhere, a transcendent place, oh-oh
Where rain merges with snow in delicate grace, oh-oh

At zenith, I watch as the Earth meets the sky
Profoundest of unions, quintessence of ′I′

Forever embraced by the stars' tender glow
Withdrawn in its splendor, my life force will flow
In the cold distance where forever resides
I will blend with the essence that nature provides
