[@littleblackpistol]

Primordial's music is also for me life-giving, often in a weird way through its darkness, but this song has something both darkly yearning and exquisitely joyful about it, a moment of almost unbearable rightness.

This damn song - it's like it always existed in another reality and simply showed up, whole and perfect in this one. Something so effortlessly right about it.

It's always the feeling I have when I hear a masterpiece. It's the kind of song that comes to your ears as an evidence.

[@MetalMinded2011]

...and this is so typical for Primordial... how do they do it?

[@egzod666]

Love Primordial. I dont understand people, who dislike this.

[@nooneinparticular2450]

Because they are a damn hard listen demanding some introspection. I would be shocked to find them popular in this world due to the demands they place on the audience.

Who would pray to anything but the mountain And wish for anything but lightening to split the night Who would praise anything but the sun above That brings each dawn and our radiant day What man places faith in his heart Above the animal that rages deep inside What man wish forgiveness yet lies his whole life Let the animal hunt on the mountainside And let lightening split my heart in two Let me howl at the moon with desire And stretch my arms wide to embrace the sun

Who would pray to anything but the mountain And wish for anything but lightening to split the night Who would praise anything but the sun above That brings each dawn and our radiant day What man places faith in his heart Above the animal that rages deep inside What man asks forgiveness yet Lies to himself his whole life Let the animal hunt on the mountainside And let lightening split my heart in two Let me howl at the moon with desire And stretch my arms wide to embrace the sun Return to the earth that bore me For there is nothing more

[@channel3141592653589]

I have been wondering about the final two lines: "Return to the earth that bore me For there is nothing more". I can't hear them in the song but I have seen them everywhere when I google the lyrics. Is there another version of the song out there, or am I just missing something?

[@jaydubz8117]

often wondered the same thing

[@DublinFrodo]

There is no other version, the lyrics were probably already submitted for publishing when they changed their minds and omitted those lines, or something like that.

[@Bjaerke]

If you listen closely to Primordial songs printed lyrics are often other than the lyrics sung. Mostly it's just a word missing or added. Alan explained in an interview years ago that he writes the lyrics but when he sings them he feels to need change them a little bit because of emotions. He also sings the songs quite a little bit different live than on CD. Not everytime but sometimes. Nothing is hewn in stone he said in that interview and when singing it's a total emotional thing for him so that he get's carried away and doesn't want to change it afterwards because that wouldn't be authentic. One more reason to love Primordial.

[@SortenRavn]

As a satanist.. The second verse deeply pleases me .. "What man places faith in his heart Above the animal that rages deep inside What man asks forgiveness yet Lies to himself his whole life"

[@metal666shark]

makes me cry, desperation with a teaspoon of hope

[@SHAX516]

love that there are still bands that can play metal without having to growl or shred ,the raw emotion in the entire band beats most others i heard today

“And let the animal hunt” when that part kicks in it sends shivers down my spine every. Single. Time.

[@semiserioussam]

Words can not describe how deeply important this band is to me.

[@endlessdread6360]

Who the fuck could possibly vote this down??? Primordial are everything that's RIGHT about metal. In an era where the genre has never been so completely devoid of soul and integrity, they are true artists whose every note rings with true metal spirit. If you don't like the music - fine. But honesty of effort like theirs doesn't deserve a thumbs down!!!

[@littleblackpistol]

+Endless Dread Some people's ears are broken. It's the only explanation.

[@Mp57navy]

+littleblackpistol Bad speakers are the issue. You cannot appreciate metal on a mobile phone.

Who cares? It's a silly little icon and it's meaningless.

[@Rekaert]

One of the few bands who have consistently, year on year, album upon album, improved and improved and put out amazing work. I'll gladly buy any album they put out. In a time when I don't do blind allegiance to anything or anyone, Primordial have earned my respect and sustained support. Brilliant band.

[@Hegge2005]

I listen to this song over and over again the last few days.. So epic, so addictive.. What a great melancholic tune.. This album is even better then TTND and TGW, which I thought, was impossible to achieve..

[@17HMR]

Flawless. In a genre known for its hits as much as its misses, this is jaw dropping and exhilarating and one of the best bands in the extreme meta scene.

[@panzer1364]

[@killerpeaches7]

rediscovered them about a year before "Puritan's Hand". Redesicovered because I found out I actualyl had a cassette of their Debut album a friend had sent me in the mid 90s, listed as "Prime Immortal" *rolls eyes* and didn't realize it was the same band because of how extensively they've evolved over the years. One of my favorite bands, and AA is an amazing orator, as a front man. Would love to have them come to Mexico so I could finally see them live!

[@catamunoz881]
