Amongst the elements, I surrender on eternity's behalf
The soil on which I walk, the air in which I talk The drop I swallowed, the fire I followed - is the circling direction of time, the vague line of existence The earth defines my synergy, the mountains refines me energy The fire clouds my distant view, the flame erupts my fiery due To Mother Earth The ocean mirrors my purpose, the rain affirms my goals The air shrouds my presence, the wind reveals my existence. 02. Grains Music by Borknagar Lyrics by Oystein G. Brun
The grains of my solid roots
Go deep into the youth of existence They mirror the path of my forefathers Through the winter way alone To mount and rove- to evolve As the sun, the very one Enlightened the road I found Along the grains of ages The roots of my being Projects all that you are seeing... 03. Oceans Rise Music by Borknagar Lyrics by Oystein G. Brun
Deify the depths of intimate caprice
The noble morsel of the grand eternity Face the furious and black domain From where all the wisdom once came As a weak and stunning flare Yet so completed and clear In the eyes of the elementary existence May the fallen of eternity explode As primal instincts of devotion Where the seeds of chaos blow Where the almighty substance flow When the oceans rise And thunder calls The shape of furious manners fall Where the oceans rise Between dimensions asunder The maze of fragmented flare Harvest the pain of the will and despair Where the seeds of chaos grow Where the almighty substance bow Millenniums are falling Millenniums are calling Hail! The dawn of a new era. 04. Signs Music by Borknagar

05. White Music by Borknagar Lyrics by Lars A. Nedland
Again
The empty room White and unmarked, Though touched With a sensible structure Underneath the surface Hiding in the corner of the eye Or resting right outside the field of vision No doors or windows No entrances or exits Only bright light Forming a shining empire Of electrical impulses Never to leave the premises Never to be caught Only sensed. 06. Cynosure Music by Borknagar Lyrics by Vintersorg
Stellar flames create formations,
Lucent constellations and invitations to the expeditious mind Novas that see our destination From their hibernation, a vocation that is enshrined I'm navigating along the star path The night sky is my compass, my cynosure After days with waves of wrath I'm finally reaching the shores Under the burning Atlas A region filled with flaring birthmarks Over ageing landmarks and the hallmarks of Nature's grand form Yonder, still in our respiration And mother to rotation, gravitation that endlessly performs. 07. The Human Nature Music by Borknagar Lyrics by Asgeir Mickelson
As a slave to differential rotation,
You cannot escape before eons have passed As a servant to progression's motivation, You won't leave until the future is the past As a product of what we call inventions, We cannot run before we can walk As a victim of a myriad of intentions, We must learn to think before we talk Swept in the circles of endless repetition Trapped in orbit around microscopic riddles The answer's echo eliminates the question Our unnatural nature keeps rotating between two cradles. 08. Acclimation Music by Borknagar Lyrics by Vintersorg
Symbiosis is my guiding force
Like the wind against the window I adapt my course One moment a firm wall of traditions The next an exploding substance of variations When the weather changes, so do I To contrast I am a slave As the oceans alters, so do I A thousand faces for every wave Acclimation: in the shape of a human Adaptation: governed by blood and sun. 09. The Spirit Of Nature Music by Borknagar
Instrumental.
