In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion Lyrics
To the highest peaksOn pathways through a wild forgotten landscapeIn search of God, in spite of man'til the lost forsaken endless. . .This is where I choose to treadFall. . .so shall we fall into the nihil?The nothingness that we feel in the arms of the paleIn the shadow of the grim companion who walks with usHere is the landscapeHere is the sunHere in the balance of the earthWhere is the god?Has he fallen and abandoned us?As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's handThe fire in my heart is forged across the landHere at the edge of this worldHere I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stoneIf this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .Then God is not deadI walked down to a river and sat in reflection of what had to be doneAn offering of crimson flowed into the water belowA wound of spirit from which it floated and faded away. . .like every hope I've ever had. . .. . .like every dream I've ever known. . .It washed away in a tide of longing, a longing for a better worldFrom my will, my throat, to the river, and into the sea. . .. . .wash away. . .. . .fade away. . .Here is the landscapeHere is the sunHere at the edge of the earthWhere is the god?Has he fallen to ruin?As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's handMy heathen pride is scarred across the land
