Dark Tranquillity

Dark Tranquillity - A Bolt Of Blazing Gold lyrics

rate me

[lyrics: Sundin]

A bolt of blazing gold,

lifted from the horizon's edge

Another radiant dawn sends new hope,

avowed my hearty pledge

My yearning to be part

of nature's truthful solitude

Of wisdom's inner light

that shines in mystic multitude

The guiding source within,

so few of us will ever know

And few will ever climb

the great world-tree from which we've grown

But those who seek will find

the rhythm that vibrates high and far

And rearrange the cosmic threads,

the pattern of the Weave of Stars

A bolt of blazing gold,

a sunfire in zenith hurled

Oh, wingless skydancer,

rejoiced upon the warmth unfurled

What wonders do you hold ensnared

with your mighty heart?

What secrets may be mine

to brother-share as we depart?

Of richest emerald forged,

my soul still rises, longingly

From inferno's winding caverns,

through dark air soaring, restlessly

If silence was enough!

No words can grasp my starkest thoughts

No language known to man

portrays my naked sentiment

A bolt of blazing gold,

swallowed by the waveless sea

The ocean-winds set sail,

in breeze towards their destiny

On solarbeams they rode,

white sea-gull-wings in harmony

For a moment's startling glimpse

a sienna-burnt tranquility

Oh father of the coloured sky,

unwear thy robe of shadowhood

Let nature's soul once clash again

'neath blooming glades of goldenwood

We're the ones who seek

to dance to fallen serenades

The magic hymns of gold;

as softly sung, the sunlight fades

...away

Of richest emerald forged,

my soul still rises, longingly

From inferno's winding caverns,

through dark air soaring, restlessly

If silence was enough!

No words can grasp my starkest thoughts

No language known to man

portrays my naked sentiment

A world of silent stone,

as frozen in the nightly sky

In heaven's dark recesses laid,

no living soul draws nigh

For seconds all is still,

no moonlight heaves throughout the dark

Nor do the heavens breathe,

no dryads wreathe within the dark

Within my dark domain...
