NOTHING

SO MANY LIVES FADED, WITHERED AWAY. AND MANY WERE BORN. MUCH THAT WAS GREAT AND SIGNIFICANT SANK INTO IRRELEVANCE.

TODAY BECAME HISTORY, HISTORY BECAME LEGEND. AND FELL INTO OBLIVION.

YET NOTHING VANISHES WITHOUT A TRACE. EVERYTHING THAT IS SPRANG FROM WHAT WAS.

THE CALL OF THE MOUNTAINS

AGAINST THE WAVES, WITH OUR SWORDS IN OUR HANDSAGAINST THE SEA, WITH OUR BACKS TO THE WALLS

AGAINST DISTRESS, IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR ENEMIESAGAINST THE STORMS, ROARING AT OUR FACES

A CRY RANG OUT THROUGHOUT THE SKIESA BECKON, THE FLIGHT OF THE CRANES

THE CALL OF THE MOUNTAINSTHE CALL OF THE ALPS

THE CALL HOMETHE TUNE IN OUR HEARTS

THE SONG OF THE MOUNTAINS

WHAT‘S THAT STIR, SO BLATANT IN OUR SALLYING HEARTS? WHAT‘S THAT URGE, THAT LIFTED UP OUR LONGING EYES?WHAT‘S THAT RING, ECHOING FROM THE LEADEN SKIES?

WHAT‘S THAT AUGUR, RESOUNDING FROM THE LYRE‘S STRINGS

A CRY RANG ON IN THE SIBILANT WINDS A BEHEST, THE OUTCRY OF THE CRANES

DISTANT ECHOES RING OUT, EXALTING THE UNSEENANCIENT MOUNTAINS SERENELY BODE THE VAST

ALL DERIDING THE POMPOUS FUTILETHAT WILL BE BURNT TO ASHES AND BE WASHED AWAY

IT IS SEMPITERNAL, YET SANCTIFYING WATERS AND FIRES ARE TO COME

„THEY TEACH THAT THE SOUL DOES NOT DESCEND TO THE SILENT LAND OF EREBUS AND THE SUNLESS REALM OF DIS BELOW, BUT THAT THE SAME BREATH

STILL GOVERNS THE LIMBS IN A DIFFERENT WORLD IF THEIR TALE BE TRUE, DEATH IS BUT A POINT IN THE MIDST OF PERPETUAL LIFE“

THE EPHEMERAL WILL FADE, THE FUTILE WILL BE WASHED AWAY WOUNDS WILL BE HEALED AND QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED
