wolkn - cloud dweller كلمات الأغنية

“silence is the sacred shroud
solitude a weary friend.”
so say the souls born of the clouds
where all stories start and end;

riven from the light
stricken blind
wrought into eternal night

how the welkin rang out with their anguished cries;
“what given right have you to judge me thusly?
authority of mob and mass
save your stones, you couldn’t sink or crush me
obligation drags me down at last”

all in rags and torn upon the stones
cursed to roam the earth alone
fallen lambs to feed the meek
wretched hunger never sleeps

bound in mortal flesh
leaden chains
bleeding at the gates

innocents lured down from the peaks
a grieving sky can only weep

“forgive me while i find the words
i speak not in my mother tongue
hear me, hear my words
what duty calls me from my work
to toil here among the throng?
tell me, what have i done.”

another cloud dweller falls
the mother mountain mourns

within the downcast roils an incandescent wrath;
“deep into the darkest hive you drug me
to the twisting reeking knot of life, you came whence
i long at night to rise above the cloud sea
i will dream not in your words but silence”
across a blackened land
enjoining shackled hands
“we souls born on the mountain
cursed by another’s sin
silence our given language
solitude our dearest kin.”

to bear the weight of ages
rise above the clinging mist
climb from this gaping valley
into light and truth and bliss

“our names were never yours to give
your words are only marks of ash
curses on a crumbling page
destined for a grave of dust

this city is a feast for worms
set to burn on blackened pyre
to the mountain we return
leaving the tyrants to their fated end in fire”

- wolkn
