Vomitory Lyrics

Lyrics: R. Olson
Embraced by enchantment, feeble winds howl
The sun levitates through a deathbed of lights
The empty horizon, forsaken and cold
Ascends from the ashes of the vanishing sun
I wander through naked fields over cold grounds
Clawed trees stands lifeless engraved in the mist
Into nowhere that grimly reveals
Unshadowed for the dying sun still buried under desperate claws
A pale light shimmers with a cleansing brightness through the dark
The sun shall no more give us warmth
But still to haunt from empty skies
In the distant gleam lies the forgotten to be found
Among all shades of the trees the naked fields now drown
As I slowly wander into the forests grip it all opens clear
Now I see through the dim which nestles before my steps
Where the light shines so pure but still seems distant from the path
Forgiving shadows fall through the wise wind
Forever to shine with a distant thorn of light
The howling now increases when the wind grips the trees
Serenades fills the air with enchanting sighs of relief
All vanishing into the skies where the sun no longer glows
Only the breeze now seems to breathe through the night
When I reach the light tears me through the silent dark
Enlivened by the mesmerizing wind
The trees stand reaching into the sky
As a vast memory the banished sun shall rest
Unshadowed for the thorns still tearing me with desperate claws
The light still shimmers a pure brightness in the dark
Forgiving shadows fall through the wise wind
Forever to shine with distant thorns of light
The song Thorns by Vomitory begins with an embodiment of the natural forces of enchantment and howling winds accompanying a setting sun. The singer paints a picture of a forsaken and cold horizon rising in the aftermath of the vanishing sun, through oblivious skies. The imagery is bleak, with naked fields and clawed trees standing lifeless engraved in the mist. The aura is suffused with a grimness that reveals nowhere. The dying sun is still buried under desperate claws, and only a pale light shimmers with a cleansing brightness through the dark.
As the singer wanders through the dim which nestles before their steps, the light shines so pure but still seems distant from the path. They observe how among all shades of the trees, the naked fields drown, leading them to slowly wander into the forest's grip where everything opens clear to them. The howling wind increasingly grips the trees, and enchanting sighs of relief fill the air as they vanish into the skies where the sun no longer glows. The wind seems to breathe through the night as it tears through the silent dark.
Finally, when the light reaches the singer, tears them through the silent dark, and they are enlivened by the mesmerizing wind. The trees stand reaching into the sky, and as a vast memory, the banished sun shall rest. The thorns still tear through them, and the light still shimmers a pure brightness in the dark. The forgiving shadows fall through the wise wind, forever shining with distant thorns of light.

Embraced by enchantment, feeble winds howl
Surrounded by enchanting surroundings, weak winds are making a sound
The sun levitates through a deathbed of lights
The sun is going up while the sky is filled with the last light
The empty horizon, forsaken and cold
The deserted view of the landscape is deserted and cold
Ascends from the ashes of the vanishing sun
The horizon rises from the remains of the setting sun
Under veils of oblivious skies
Under the cover of the unknowing skies
I wander through naked fields over cold grounds
I wander through empty fields on cold grounds
Clawed trees stands lifeless engraved in the mist
Trees shaped like claws are standing still, engraved in the mist
Into nowhere that grimly reveals
Into the empty space that looks grim
Unshadowed for the dying sun still buried under desperate claws
No shadow appears as the sun has set and is now in hiding
A pale light shimmers with a cleansing brightness through the dark
A dim light shines, cleaning the darkness around
The sun shall no more give us warmth
The sun won't give warmth anymore
But still to haunt from empty skies
But still will remain as a haunting image from the empty sky
In the distant gleam lies the forgotten to be found
In the faraway brilliance, something to be remembered is hidden
Among all shades of the trees the naked fields now drown
Under the shadows of trees, the empty fields are lost
As I slowly wander into the forests grip it all opens clear
As I walk deeper into the forest, everything becomes clear
Now I see through the dim which nestles before my steps
I can now see through the dim light that surrounds me
Where the light shines so pure but still seems distant from the path
Where light shines bright and clean but still seems far from the road
Forgiving shadows fall through the wise wind
Kind shadows spread due to the wise wind
Forever to shine with a distant thorn of light
Will shine forever with a distant point of light
The howling now increases when the wind grips the trees
The howling sound becomes louder as the wind blows stronger
Serenades fills the air with enchanting sighs of relief
Sweet music fills the air with sighs of comfort
All vanishing into the skies where the sun no longer glows
Everything seems to disappear in the sky where the sun is not present anymore
Only the breeze now seems to breathe through the night
Only the breeze seems to be alive and moving through the night
When I reach the light tears me through the silent dark
When I reach the light, it pulls me out of the silent darkness
Enlivened by the mesmerizing wind
Feeling alive due to the mesmerizing wind
The trees stand reaching into the sky
The trees are standing tall, reaching towards the sky
As a vast memory the banished sun shall rest
As a great memory, the desolate sun will rest
Unshadowed for the thorns still tearing me with desperate claws
No shadow appears, although the thorns are still hurting me
The light still shimmers a pure brightness in the dark
The clean, bright light still shines in the darkness
Forgiving shadows fall through the wise wind
Kind shadows spread due to the wise wind
Forever to shine with distant thorns of light
Will shine forever with distant points of light
