A Bolt Of Blazing Gold Lyrics - Skydancer - Dark Tranquility

---------------------- 

(Lyrics: Sundin) 

A bolt of blazing gold, 

lifted from the horizon's edge 

Another radiant dawn sends new hope, 

avowed my hearty pledge 

My yearning to be part 

of nature's truthful solitude 

Of wisdom's inner light 

that shines in mystic multitude 

The guiding source within, 

so few of us will ever know 

And few will ever climb 

the great world-tree from which we've grown 

But those who seek will find 

the rhythm that vibrates high and far 

And rearrange the cosmic threads, 

the pattern of the Weave of Stars 

A bolt of blazing gold, 

a sunfire in zenith hurled 

Oh, wingless skydancer, 

rejoiced upon the warmth unfurled 

What wonders do you hold ensnared 

with your mighty heart? 

What secrets may be mine 

to brother-share as we depart? 

Of richest emerald forged, 

my soul still rises, longingly 

From inferno's winding caverns, 

through dark air soaring, restlessly 

If silence was enough! 

No words can grasp my starkest thoughts 

No language known to man 

portrays my naked sentiment 

A bolt of blazing gold, 

swallowed by the waveless sea 

The ocean-winds set sail, 

in breeze towards their destiny 

On solarbeams they rode, 

white sea-gull-wings in harmony 

For a moment's startling glimpse 

a sienna-burnt tranquility 

Oh father of the coloured sky, 

unwear thy robe of shadowhood 

Let nature's soul once clash again 

'neath blooming glades of goldenwood 

We're the ones who seek 

to dance to fallen serenades 

The magic hymns of gold; 

as softly sung, the sunlight fades 

...away 

Of richest emerald forged, 

my soul still rises, longingly 

From inferno's winding caverns, 

through dark air soaring, restlessly 

If silence was enough! 

No words can grasp my starkest thoughts 

No language known to man 

portrays my naked sentiment 

A world of silent stone, 

as frozen in the nightly sky 

In heaven's dark recesses laid, 

no living soul draws nigh 

For seconds all is still, 

no moonlight heaves throughout the dark 

Nor do the heavens breathe, 

no dryads wreathe within the dark 

Within my dark domain...
