lyrics

The wind was on a withered heath
but in the forest stirred no leaf
there shadows lay by night and day
and dark things silent crept beneath

The wind came down from mountains cold
older than any story that is told
the grass hissed their tassels bent
the reeds were rattling and on it went

A shaken pool, under the heavens cool
where racing clouds were torn and rent

It passed the lonely mountain bare
and swept above the dragons lair
there black and dark lay boulders dark
and flying smoke was in the air
it left the world and took its flight
over the wide seas of the night
the moon set sail upon the gale
and stars were fanned to leaping light

Of secrets long lost sings the wind
of futures forgotten and the dust of the old
of white bones that lay in the cold
of distant echoes somewhere in time told

Hear the endless call
of hope and regret
mixed as a lamentation
forever singing to the lands

Of dreams long lost sings the wind
of futures forgotten and the dust of the old
of rusty swords and broken bows
of distant echoes and songs of victory
Hear the endless call
of hope and regret
mixed as a lamentation
forever singing to the lands

It passed the lonely mountain bare
and swept above the dragons lair
there black and dark lay boulders dark
and flying smoke was in the air
it left the world and took its flight
over the wide seas of the night
the moon set sail upon the gale
and stars were fanned to leaping light

The wind was on a withered heath
but in the forest stirred no leaf
there shadows lay by night and day
and dark things silent crept beneath

The wind came down from mountains cold
older than any story that is told
the grass hissed their tassels bent
the reeds were rattling and on it went

The day has ended, dim are my eyes
still a journey long before me lies
the wind sings its never-ending song
beneath the eternal and ever bending sky

Avathar Ojakkala, Finland

Avathar is the name of a dark, forgotten land in the south of Aman in between the mountains and the sea in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. Ungoliant used to dwell there before she and Melkor destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor.

The band was a two-piece (Witch King and Scatha) until summer 2005. ... more
