Behind The Jagged Mountains lyrics

I have come from the freezing seas

From the warmth of foreign coals

Through the dismal fog of insecurities

To a cloud-enshrouded noble goal

The world has cast me from its laughter

Thrown to the wolves, to the dread thereafter

So now I forge a journey fraught

Through these bitter wastes of snow

Over ice and gorge to an Eden sought

Far from the human races afterglow

This sightless climb is treacherous to weather

As the cold bites deep, old heartstrings sever

Behind the jagged mountains

Beyond the frozen North

At the back of Boreas. The zealous wind

There crest celestial fountains

Crystal waters soaring forth

In the realm of our sacred Angelus kin

Neither muse nor music flees

This garden of delights

Everywhere the soothing hands of nature please

In this state of pure Euphoria

Paradise lies at the heart of darkness

And one must pay for this deep catharsis

Now the storm-clouds retch

A vision fleets before my eyes

Wherein minarets and spires touch

Phantasmagoric skies

And meadows stretch to woodlands

Of sweet nymph and fireflies

Death is in the breeze

And his mind will paralyse

My mind is in the clutch

Of something too long fantasised

Behind the jagged mountains

Beyond the frozen peaks

At the back of Boreas, the zealous wind

The Gods of love are counting

Down the nights until we meet

In the realm of oursacred Angelus kin

Now the mirage blears

And the howling gusts renew their fury

The gleam of moonlit towers

Fades to utter fear

The mountains rear in anger

At the righteousness I lack

And in their monstrous grasp I know

Dear God

They will never let me back...

Free of enemies, no death, disease

The doves of peace, in flight

Carouse upon the ever-Summer breeze

In this land of Hyperborea

Behind the jagged mountains

Beyond their icy stares

At the back of Boreas, the zealous wind

My soul is now surmounting

Past the grasp of last despairs

To the realm of our sacred Angelus kin

Behind the jagged mountains

Beyond the frozen North
