Lyrics Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog - Wolves In The Throne Room

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog

The journey is long and steep
Sweat turns lack and runs with dust
Here I seek the edge of the world
The secrets that lie behind the veil
The rapture of the universe
As the sun pours down like honey
Three sentries loom at the skyline
Bravely staring on
Our sun of eternity pours down as it shines bright
Many souls slumber
On the mountainside below
Dressed in royal robes of green and red
My left hand points to the earth
My right towards the starry sky
Writhing serpent belt of eternity
Wrapped round my waist
Black banner blows in the wind
Emblazoned with the white rose of death
Under the cover of night, by fire light
Blood smoke in my lungs
Moss and blood in my hair
Ash in my eyes, I grip the torch
My light illuminates her ritual
Lost sigil burns in the dark
Her ecstasy shakes the cannon
The future now glows with a blue brilliance
In my mind’s eye I can see a stronghold
With a moat of pure spring water
Spires of cedar and fir
