The Passing Lyrics

Oldest in clan, warden of a dreadful name
From father to firstborn dim clandestine lore
To summon her in the hour of peril

Who calls must pay the highest price in life
It has to be done, there’s no escape
That at least one could come back

I cannot find out
About my dwelling
When soul will part
Remains of my earthly shell

Who guides me now
To obscure old threshold
Distant in life
Thousandfold farther in dying

Familiar soil will bind me to ancestors realm
Water and coal for astral ablution
Waiting for soul by my head

Spirit is struggling with mundane flesh
Free it at last, turn arid eyes
Don’t hinder the fight for release


I cannot find out
About my dwelling
When soul will part
Remains of my earthly shell

Who guides me now
To obscure old threshold
Distant in life
Thousandfold farther in dying

I cannot find out
About my dwelling
When soul will part
Remains of my earthly shell

Who guides me now
To obscure old threshold
Distant in life
Thousandfold farther in dying
