lyrics

In a never-ending race with time,
this race I've lost before its dawn
The colours of persistence are running pale
Dimming the sunshine of the spotless thought
Driven by inertia I found myself
on the path I've longed
a destination once craved, but now forgotten

Momentum deprives me
of my ability
to observe my surroundings,
to enjoy the outer world
And everything is and was
so beautiful, colorful, warm
But now all is a palette blurred and mashed
and the contrast of colours I am unable to grasp

Ultuulla, Zikru, Sagkal

Still I've burned once already
and I'm fearless before your hell
I shall consume your vital fire, next your ashes

I enclose with stones the circle of eternal fire
Wrapped in static I am numbed in this endless stream of time
I sense the stone's cold embrace
But yet this stone I've seen already

It shines exposed to sunlight and under moonlight it screams
It screams voiceless, it deafens, synchronously it chants
it whispers and it speaks

And reminds me with its speech
timelessness to summon
Timelessness emitting time
But also reason it demands
in order to explain

And I witness how the seed of Oak
is growing in seconds
seconds lasting longer than years, condensed in a moment,
stretching through the ages

I entreat to find this window
while the window for the eyes is sealed
But it's revealed before wisdom, knowledge and will
through it the truth of moonlight sees

If only I could take a glimpse in time that is to come
To see where my path leads and where I will take the fall
Whether I will rise and press on

But the mighty Owl of wisdom awakes in the crown of the Ancient Oak
And its spread wings shall veil the light empowered by the sun
And its massive wings of justice give me back my sight

And I see the window shatter between the Owl of wisdom and myself
And towards the sunset the Owl is fading
Sunset in a sky pierced by the light of stars
