[Intro: Very quiet, clean electric guitar, solitary wind noise] [Gentle, sorrowful overtone singing] [Verse 1] The journey brings us to the end The broken roads begin to mend We walked across the burning sand To finally reach the promised land [Verse 2] The mountains welcome us back home No longer do we need to roam We lay our burdens on the grass And watch the heavy seasons pass [Chorus] Return to the earth, return to the stone [Building drums and swelling guitars] The seeds of the future are finally sown The cycle completes, the circle is closed The wild and the calm are juxtaposed [Instrumental Interlude: Post-rock explosion, wall of sound guitars, crashing cymbals] [Verse 3] The ash will mix into the soil Ending all the mortal toil But from the ground a flower springs And in the wind, a spirit sings [Chorus] Return to the earth, return to the stone [Epic climax, all instruments at max volume with powerful throat singing] The seeds of the future are finally sown The cycle completes, the circle is closed The wild and the calm are juxtaposed [Instrumental Outro: Long fading ringing of guitars, a single deep vocal note dissolving into wind] [End]
