Cimmeria Songtext
von Vanquisher

I remember
The clouds that piled on forever
I remember
All winds and clouds
And dreams that shun the sun
Slope beyond slope
Each hooded like its brothers
And the dark woods
Masking slopes of somber hills

I recall
The stillness of that somber land
Where the wind blew
Among the dimness of the dark woodlands
Hill on hill
Gathered in the endless vista
It was a gloomy land
Not even lightened by the rare dim sun


I recall
The grey clouds′ leaden arch
The dusky streams
Flowed without sound
The lone winds
That whispered down the passes
The rugged peaks'
Endless hills
The sullen trees rattled in the winds
The sun
Shunned by clouds, winds, dreams
And ghosts

Land of darkness, land of night
Oh, land that never saw the light
So long ago and far away
In my heart I find Cimmeria
I search my heart and there I find
A somber land still in my mind


Cimmeria, Cimmeria, Cimmeria
Take me home again
Cimmeria, Cimmeria
Cimmeria
Take me back where I belong
Where vista on vista marched
Hill upon hill
Our gaunt land lay
So when a man climbed up
A rugged peak and gazed
His shaded eye saw
But the endless vista
And still I recall
The absence of the sun
Which made squat shadows out of men

Forgot
Forgotten
The very name
Men used to call me
The axe
And flint tipped spear
Are like a dream
And hunts
Those hunts and wars
Are shadows
Oh, oh soul
Oh, soul of mine
Born out of shadowed hills
How
How many deaths
Shall serve to break at last
At last
This heritage
Which wraps me in the grey

Land of darkness, land of night
Oh, land that never saw the light
So long ago and far away
In my heart I find Cimmeria
I search my heart and there I find
A somber land still in my mind
