Here are the lyrics for ‘The Reckoning of Man’:
I remember the shining sanguine Sun
the frozen forests and fallen leaves,
and the hollow hill under the sky.
I remember the complex cold caverns,
the long tranquil tunnels
and the large underground lakes.
I remember the dim depths of the Earth,
the lucid lady in the light
and her sacred stanza.
I remember the bright beast in her boat,
the tall troll telling her tales,
and the honey in the haunted hollow.
I remember the protected password,
the secret soothing symbol
and the old ODal objects.
I remember the red runes on the rock,
the spell of seeing being sung,
and the bold opening up of the beautiful burrow.
I remember the coming of man reborn,
the birth of BalDur the bright,
the return of a world that was woefully lost.
PS. The second working title for this song was ‘The Reckoning of Mîmir’. The original working title was ‘Thule3′ though. As the original working title suggests, it was one of the first tracks I made for ‘The Ways of Yore’.
