Lyrics: Golden sunsets whisper Pastel painted skys Fading lights embrace Hills of endless pine Can you hear her calling Dusks eternal blanket falls Darkness rolling silent Over mountains high Hemlock bleeding warm sap Leaves dance on autumn sky Shadows move in softly Creeping darkness falls Ancient spirits whisper Spells of Moon and earth Seven sacred pines Soaring ever high A road to the stars Painted cross the sky Autumn wind comes softy Kisses my bare chest Ancestral strength consumes me I am reborn Skyward we rise Over moss encrusted hemlock To awaken the hearts of long forgotten gods Spirits of the forest are flowing through my body Bestowing great strength and the will to carry on The passage of time slows to a soft whisper Like wind in the pines while the creek flows softly by A blackened wolf spirit with feral eyes of fire Watches from the shores of the river of my mind Awakened by the vision of a thousand lives before me My spirit flies free on the hallowed winds of time And as the dream fades and my mortal form becomes me The wolf's gaze sets upon me and our spirits intertwine A celestial womb of ash Burns beyond her eyes of fire A Celestial womb of ash Behind the eyes of her spirit.

I only discovered Black Braid recently, but I have been enjoying every song available so far. Not to take away from Black Braid, all of the attention that he gets is well deserved, but it reminds me of a local Utah black metal band that my friends play in that is called Yaotl Mictlan. They play black metal with a twist of mesoamerican themes and use traditional folk instruments. I really appreciate bands like Yaotl Mictlan and Black Braid supplying amazing riffs, blast beats, and the implementation of historical tradition/relevance.
