Full Lyrics for Indren‘s second album “Duskborn”.
AUTUMNAL MOON
Silver thy halo
Of shrouded light
Sudden thy stillness
You mirror the mist
Of mountains at night
Out of darkness
Enthralled by your charm
Landscapes in silence
Trail your alluring gaze
Like a shooting star
You cut through the sky
Snow and ice lighted by your magic shine
Haven of rest for worn out souls – silent beauty
In your eyes the glowing sky – memories of old
Keeping the legends of ancient stars – unending wisdom
Crimson the clouds as night falls in red
Rise, O Autumnal Moon
Echoes of times and past lives – immortal soul
Winter prelude and seasons of frost – a timeless cycle
Dying leaves in the chasing winds – essence of existence
Crimson the clouds as night falls in red
Rise, O Autumnal Moon
LYSKAMM
Home of the fiercest winds
Calling voices of the mountain spirits
Echoed as distant shadows
In the timeless hall of the twilight gods
Flashes of thunders
Gave shape to your walls
Where legends are born
In the shade of a storm
Seven the young and the brave
Not from Im Land but from Gressoney
Followed the glorious tale
Their forefathers once told
“Entdeckungsfels” the discovery’s stone
They finally reached
And their dreams turned
Into nightmares of ice
Flashes of thunders
Gave shape to your walls
Where legends are born
In the shade of a storm
Lyskamm
Almighty walls of ice
Towers in twilight
High in the sky
When the last Walser will be gone
And the legend of a valley long lost
Forever will be forlorn
Thou shalt remain as eternal symbol
Of the time when men were
Close to the gods
INNER MOUNTAIN
High slopes of stone and ice
Unending to the skies
Unceasing blows the wind
Shaping glaciers heights
Ruling the far horizon
As frozen waves they rise
Mountains leading the heart
Guardians of wisdom of old
Powerful visions unfold
On soul-searching paths
The higher terrain I walk
Deeper knowledge I find
Link to inner infinity
Creative abstractions unwind
Transcending space and time
Valleys of silence in our eyes
We climb for our existence
To investigate the hideouts of the soul
As mountains we are
For we have their nature within
Seeking meaning in our lives
And finding our freedom
Yet many summits reached
I know the tallest mountain
Is the one within
Ourselves
DUSKBORN
Twilight fell on a world grown old
Where gods wither as dusk swallows dawn
The best are dead, the living pay the price
Of burning it all to rule over ashes
Embers of a dying world, restless cries
Fading memories under lifeless skies
What is death – but our proof of life
What if forever – is a place in our hearts
Paint with ashen hands
Skies of dancing stars
Under the wisdom of the moon, our hearts unshaken
Light of dead seasons, stars pierce the veil
Like ancient secrets they show
In the night
We dream the stars to shine
All over this endless twilight
Bled our hearts away to find
Duskborn souls will weave their night
Now come forth the age of darkness
For our flame will shine on through
Starbound yet we stared the abyss
Once weary souls we’re born anew
Order is the greatest illusion
Faint scenes on the lid of a sleeper’s eye
The stars’ reflection in a pond
Mistaken for the night sky
Under the wisdom of the moon, our hearts unshaken
Light of dead seasons, stars pierce the veil
Like ancient secrets they show
In the night
Through rivers choked with ice,
like veins of frozen time
We dream the stars to shine
All over this twilight
Bled our hearts away to find
Duskborn souls will weave their night
Now come forth the age of darkness
For our flame will shine on through
Starbound yet we stared the abyss
Once weary souls we’re born anew
EMBERS OF DYING STARS
Nightfall, may it be
Ashen souls on frozen peaks
Their slumber guard
Grandeur, I long for
Welkin lit by embers of dying stars
Ride! In the winter’s silent night
Upon the cracking ice
Winds of frost and death
I’ll! Tear the veil this time
The vision I’ve denied
Even stars will die
Nightfall, may it be
Ashen souls on frozen peaks
Their slumber guard
Grandeur, I long for
Welkin lit by embers of dying stars
Hail! Thee o’ dancing star
Out of inner chaos, rise
Dusk bring me fire
Soon! In this oblivion o’ mine
Voyage through the void
A new dawn will bear
I wander through this empty halls in crimson shades
Fallen empires of a thousand kings
Echoes from the netherworld
Thou carrieth me, o’ spirit of night
Through the veil, across the sky
Now grant me the strength to behold this sight as I approach the morning dawn
I! Carry my ashes on hand
For I’m the timeless wanderer
Who longs for rebirth
Nightfall, may it be
Ashen souls on frozen peaks
Their slumber guard
Grandeur, I long for
Welkin lit by embers of dying stars
DAUGHTER OF THE TWILIGHT
A vision frail, in twilight’s secret halls
Frosty eyes like winter stars, shine through hair of gold
In the last bleeding rays, a shadow softly weeps
Ethereal, fading, daughter of the eve
In your icy glow I ask you oh silver moon
Was it once her light, your gentle shine?
In the guidance of your grace, tender light she traced
Thy night’s still, it soothes her soul
Never she roamed the realms I seem to know
Suddenly she disclosed herself in the blink of an eye
Over the horizon where infinity lies
Graced our world then she vanished through the open doors of time
Fleeting a whisper, on the ethereal paths of night
Her wistful plea, her heart laid bare
As if the stars have come to care
I can only wonder, was she ever really there?
Faced with eternity, I’ll pay the price
Forever I’ll roam the night sky
WALSERLAND
Upon crests where mortals don’t tread
Through alpine gates our story began
Harsh summits loomed, guarding our path
Winds stinging deep, yet sweeter they sang
This land of glaciers and towering peaks
Far beyond the Alps our fate unfolds
Songs of this mountains we call home
The eco of our legend carries on
The weight of each step, we sunk in the frost
Enduring spirits at the edge of the world
The glacier’s gleam has carved its trace,
In furrows etched on each weathered face
Fragments of eternities lie scattered in those mountains
As echoes they recall our days of glory
Still our pride grows stronger in our stories and in each stone
This land of glaciers and towering peaks
Far beyond the Alps our fate unfolds
Songs of this mountains we call home
The eco of our legend carries on
Legends exist to grasp an instant from eternity’s hands
In the echo of this song
Sun will never set on this land
