Lyrics :
ABSENCE
ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW COLDER
TEAR YOU APART PULLS YOU UNDER
AND LOVE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
LIFT YOU UP
ONLY TO RIP YOU ASUNDER
LOOK AT ME
LOOK AT ME
WE´RE FALLING
YOUR FACE IS VEILED TO ME
A SEAL OF SMOKE COVERS THEE
HOW CAN YOU BREATHE
IN TIMES LIKE THESE?
YOUR COVERT OPS HOW YOU TEASE
LOOK AT ME
YOU´RE ALL LIT UP
LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE
SOLITUDE MAKES THE HEART GROW STRONGER
PURIFIES
MAKES YOU PONDER
IF THIS IS IT
OR JUST SOME RANDOM ANOMALY
LOOK AT ME
LOOK AT ME
YOU´RE BURNING
YOUR HEART IS VEILED TO ME
DO YOU EXIST? IS THIS REALITY?
YOUR REFLECTION SWAYS BEFORE MY EYES
HOW I WISH YOU WOULD LAY DOWN YOUR DISGUISE
LOOK AT ME
LOOK AT ME
I´M CALLING

[@nephilimcarl]

This song seems as melancholic as it is beautiful, but a melancholy of good memories, the bad moments don't look so sad with this masterpiece

[@Cangurul0921]

6 years later, still so obsessed with this song ❤🖤.

[@maaikees]

it makes me cry, melancholia, happiness, all at the same time

I was listening to this song while travelling to San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, México. this song brings so many memories of that trip, travelling and gazing at the mountains!

[@melo3919]

So powerful... It touches my heart deep down

[@AeacusCanti]

It's difficult for me to express how much I love this song. Mr. Larsen is a gift to the world.

[@indisguiseFUCK]

The Lone Descent as an album truly is a masterpiece that still didn't ever receive all the recognition it deserves. It's captivating and hypnotic, the musicianship is unprecedented, its production is impeccable. A gem I'm glad to know of.

[@StumpfsCurse]

Taxi Driver...perfect video for this song. :D

[@merdammuffita]

uno dei pezzi più belli in assoluto..

[@onlyyesterday1967]

One of their best...

[@CarlosOliveira-jp3yx]

that song would be a great True Detective opening theme

[@8lifeisamovie8]

...or a music video like this with True Detective scenes :)

[@micheleburing522]

The algorithm can be amazingly on point. It’s been good to me. Right here is an awesome example. Right here was my introduction to OTWATM three months ago. Since then I’ve decided that :Of The Wand And The Moon: is a genre within itself. Beyond extraordinary.

[@sonjaschulze8758]

Von Of the Wand and The Moon gefällt mir einfach jeder Song

[@Samael1991]

I'm in love with this band. Second or third song I've listened and I'm so impressed. Masterpiece.

totally mesmerizing track

[@larsodal]

Chillingly beautiful, haunting, magic. OTWATM never disappoints. Genius.

Just a random song after the Spiritual Front leaves me highly satisfied

[@Bibl888]

spiritual front is soo good! jesus died, we could fail, song for the old man, vladimir central, slave, tenderness... banger after banger.

Off the wand and the moon Makes anthems, not bangers An eternal contribution to our soul, spirit and deeper connected with our Woods and Seas and ancient Breathe.

I think Kim Larsen has stated that he is a Taxi Driver fan. Nice combination, a bit different than the stereotypical pagan atmosphere (which I love though).
