"The Strange" lyrics

"The Strange"

Upon the strange, I stumbled
The eldritch, I encountered
Speaking in whispers and harsh cries
I had known it inside of me
I had lost it everywhere
It shifted its shape and changed its size
Changed its size

Nestled by the rocks
In blood and earthen red
I'll paint the secrets of yore

I'll roam and I'll seek
I'll come and I will find you
"I am the eagle and the bear
The wind and the emptiness"
In the night of the mind
In the light of the day
"I am the trout and the deer
The wind and the emptiness"

In the heart of the wild
Under the gyre of stars
Embraced by the tall, murky woods
Tall, murky woods

Nestled by the rocks
In blood and earthen red
I'll paint the secrets of yore

I'll roam and I'll seek
I'll come and I will find you
"I am the eagle and the bear
The wind and the emptiness"
In the night of the mind
In the light of the day
"I am the trout and the deer
The wind and the emptiness"

Shrouded in mist the sinking fens
Where paths will dwindle in the dark
And signs will fade and disappear
My footprint's seen but for a while

I'll roam and I'll seek
I'll come and I will find you
"I am the eagle and the bear
The wind and the emptiness"
In the night of the mind
In the light of the day
"I am the trout and the deer
The wind and the emptiness"
