SLOW LYRICS

1. I - The Standing Giant

Infinite skies
Blue, grey, green, dark
Colouring the auroras
A gift from Her, again

Gaze upon the colossus
A giant wearing the Earth
As Gaïa left him alone
He glances, still

Thoughts and sorrows embalmed his mind
One purpose, one lost battle
But he stands proud, chained
Used to his eternal fatigue

And he stands
And he wears
And he stands
And he wears

2. II - The Drowning Angel

Father - Grant me not warning
Father - We could fly away
From feathers of the greatest bird
From wax of the brightest candle

Oh Sun! Everlasting shining star
Why did you betray me
Oh Sun! Oh I wish the clouds were mine
I wish we'd never met

My time is done
And I keep on falling
My time is done
And I fall again

3. III - The Suffering Rebel

Oh Father! They won't learn
From your bleeding eyes
From your great sacrifice
From the one I shall offer

Forgive me, brothers
The choice isn't mine
But I shall give the one
To this decayed world

And I hide down, rotting
But I will stand more
My legacy will pierce
My word shan't be forsaken

4. IV - The Dying God

From my Death, my children
I shall learn to be Legend
Never to be forgotten
A second life, everlasting

Drink with me, my children
For this is my last glass
Drown yourself in ecstasy
So I can go to my fate

5. V - The Promethean Grief

Thoroughly cleansing nights
Poisoning souls
Daft in ashes, scorn
The airy eventful
In trance delusions of
Forgotten promises
Alone, the unknown
Or drawn in solitary tombs

He has gathered enough knowledge
To cope with the pain
To understand all the nightmares
He is cherishing
And even if he
He will drown
In this sea of suffering
He will know that it hasn't been all in vain

Truly, emerges one with the sea
On tidal waves of grief
And the shore
His dreams will wait for him
To embrace
To despair
And only then
Then he will know
That he had lost
All his pain
All dreams
The naked grief
