Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. June 13, 2004]

More about the black years in the wilderness
A child migrates around glacial moonscapes
Driven by success
Certain alpine madness
Transmitted through the meat
A brutal rival's feet

The shattered blizzard forest conceals more than you've even dreamed
Against our premonitions
We hide among the wintergreen
The tiny little flints produce tiny little sparks
In the wolverine dark

We come from the frozen summer
Sons of the chosen moments
And if I should fill the vacuum
We cannot leave, we must remain
Against the hopelessness and pain
To plant the seed to start again

Pressure in the system
Overloads abundancy
Waiting in the nightlight
Diminishing necessity
Back into the chills
Back into the seas
Or anywhere they please

We come from the frozen summer
Sons of the chosen moments
And if I should fill the vacuum
We cannot leave, we must remain
Against the hopelessness and pain
To plant the seed to start again

And if I should fill the vacuum
We cannot leave, we must remain
Against the hopelessness and pain
On this fragile mortal plane
Surely run against the stream
To plant the seed to start again
