Borknagar - Dominant Winds lyrics

The hills erode, a change of landmarks And ancient trees are skinned Of (leaves) branches and the outer bark By an ever blowing wind Its rule and strength lead the rise and fall Insects drift along the sweeping regime At mountainous locations ma**ive rainfall Still, birds follow their inner scheme From the polar cyclone A timeless and transparent grindstone And by the trade winds of the equator The air flow builds a subtropical gyrator The hills erode, a change of landmarks And ancient trees are skinned Of (leaves) branches and the outer bark By an ever blowing wind From the polar cyclone A timeless and transparent grindstone Pressure is high but the sun angle is low Dominant winds Pressure is high but the sun angle is low Dominant winds scalp the ridge's crest Cooling and condensation grows It hauls from the north and heads from east to west We're strapped in this blusterous maze Still unaware of its daily toil We'll get a glimpse of its power and pace As we're standing on degraded soil From the polar cyclone A timeless and transparent grindstone And by the trade winds of the equator The air flow builds a subtropical gyrator
