[Intro: layered delay guitars, [WIND AMBIANCE], spectral synth drones] [Verse] Standing stones beneath the rain Black against the fading grey No names remain upon the moor Only echoes at the shore Far beyond the sleeping loch Footsteps circle through the fog [Instrumental texture: layered delay guitars and distant reverse synths] [Chorus] Gathered here before the dawn Fire and shadow move as one No voice remains, no prayer survives Only wind that never dies (Only the wind) (Only the wind) [Verse] Heather bends around the rings Listening for forgotten things Moonlight spills on weathered faces Carved away by countless ages Something stirs beneath the earth Older than remembered words [Instrumental swell: Layered delay guitars, ancient bell-like harmonics] [Bridge] The sea was farther then The sky seemed closer Hands raised toward northern stars Ash and bone Stone and water A circle turning in the dark [Atmospheric passage: Ritual drum echoes, ghostly synth choirs, delay guitar drones] [Chorus] Gathered here before the dawn Fire and shadow moved as one No voice remains, no prayer survives Only wind that never dies (Only the wind) (Only the wind) [Chorus] Gathered here before the dawn Beneath the turning ancient sun Stones remain where dreams dissolve Guarding what was never lost (Never lost) (Never lost) [Outro: Ancient modal drone, distant female vocalizations, fading layered delay guitars] Aaaaah... The wind remembers Aaaaah... [end]
