From my tower I behold the landscape below I see the river of blood in fury flow I stare into the night, yet my visions clear From the distant villages every word I hear I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide I have seen the abyss and all that lies within I am the great shadow and I was born in sin Thy shadow swept by like an angel fading to grey Thy eyes were like weakening candles leaving the flames to die Thy pale cold face, once so full of life Now its torn as of thorns of ice Thy towers fell to the ground I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide I have seen the abyss and all that lies within I am the great shadow and I was born in sin Yes this is the land, the land of the black horizon Where the shores are covered with the bodies Of thy followers Triumphal vengeance, dethroning the shape of thou Fade I say, wither away I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind I am the great shadow and I was born in sin I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind Behold the land of sin!
You know what else is completely insane.. this song has about 10 different riffs, each one has two guitar parts.. it's a complex song. According to recording engineer Dan Swano: "The first thing I remember about ”The Somberlain” was that I asked about the songs and Jon said there’s one they haven’t really played yet, that he “wrote in his head on the bus” and that was “Black Horizons”. He taught the members the track and what you hear on the record is one of the first times they played it and hear it coming back to them through speakers “as one"
That is what Swano does lol, the single greatest metal influencer of all time. From Edge of Sanity, to Witherscape, to his engineering and mixing, Swano is the greatest metal musician of all time.
I tried to reverse it and I think I heard it saying ”welcome to eternal night” and something else but I couldn’t hear well everything cause of the sound quality and english is not my first language, but I would really like to know that it says and the meaning of it
@@BaadMotorFinger wait I realized what it says! It’s the same line from where dead angels lie song but reversed: ”frost is spreading across the plain, to welcome the eternal night”
Hail from Brazil. Hail Nodtveidt !
From my tower I behold the landscape below
I see the river of blood in fury flow
I stare into the night, yet my visions clear
From the distant villages every word I hear
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
Thy shadow swept by like an angel fading to grey
Thy eyes were like weakening candles leaving the flames to die
Thy pale cold face, once so full of life
Now its torn as of thorns of ice
Thy towers fell to the ground
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
Yes this is the land, the land of the black horizon
Where the shores are covered with the bodies
Of thy followers
Triumphal vengeance, dethroning the shape of thou
Fade I say, wither away
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind
Behold the land of sin!
To think Jon was 17/18 when he made The Somberlain is just insane

Does anyone know what the voice in the beginning says? Sounds like it might be recorded backwards
