Borknagar - Matter & Motion lyrics

Forged by time on the last of eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity

Spread out on a canvas of deepest black

The white glowing softness a fierce attack

That odious draught: insufficiency

Touched man as he climbed himself mentally

Alone with his newborn dexterity

Came death to his fear - a corollary

Of the fact that the stars never sensed his presence

The very maxim of the universe

Portrayed by the greatness the stars rehearse

Even Narcissus would drown in the sky

If his eyes ever rose from the mirror ponds

This radiant image, a stellar high

Eternally feeding the gnostions: "why"

To which every nightsky's a vast response

A pursuance of that very first creation

Expansion and a constant alteration

The fringos of the canvas always stir

The boundary is bathing in a blur

Forged by time on the last of eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity

Spread out on a canvas of deepest black

The white glowing softness a fierce attack

Always moving

Searching for patters

Digging for angles

Clutching at straws, climbing in air

Opening doors, closing windows

Swirling

Expanding in our world

And outside
