RIFF A
RIFF B 2x
RIFF C:
As the face of glacier your mountains tower against the sunset
unforgetting what was made a bond so strong and ever so real...
RIFF B 2x
RIFF C:
The statue watches the kingdom your giant wings make all beneath
I'm staring forth raventhrone / I know I'm at the heart of winter...
(no specific tempo, retard, after
a while slide off E5) end.
Track 5 from At The Heart Of Winter (Osmose '99)
