The sky is wide open
The Sun warms the ground
Sweat wets the soil
While raising the mound
All things move in cycles
Like the drawing of breath
To earth we return
After passing through death
Shaping the Earth
To remember the past
Creating a monument
Aeons to last
Reducing a body
To sinew and bone
To prepare for the journey
Beneath barrow of stone

Life upon life
Like stone upon stone
Built on the past
Foundations of home
Flesh is the mortar
Holding together
Sacred stone monuments
Lasting forever
Woven in time
The seed and the womb
Winding it's way
To knot round the tomb
One footstep alone
Cannot carve very deep
But the sides of the valley
Of many are steep
Raising the stones
Building the mound
Bury the bones
Return to the ground
Remember the past
Remember the dead
Bring forth new life
The cycle is fed

Gateway
Hidden
The veil between the living
The ones who still draw breath
Passage
Portal
A Doorway closed in life
Becomes a pathway after death

Following ancient pathways
To walk where flesh
Has carved the stone
Like water rends it's way
Through rock and soil
To feel the flow
Of ancestral blood
Running through the ground
Aeons of time
Passing in moments
Who's feet have walked here
And shaped the land
Who's footsteps are these
Is this my blood?

The Dread March Of Solemn Gods

If the band's ambition was "just to" reproduce old melodic BM classics like Dissection and early Emperor, I'd say it is a grand success, shit even the cover art reminds me of the "Storm" album... However, I wish this album had a bit more personality to it. These guys are from the U.K., after all. The first half is majestic, the second half a bit less. Still it's a very enjoyable melodic BM album.
