    Through vast valleys I wonder
    To the highest peaks
    On pathways through a wild forgotten landscape
    In search of God, in spite of man
    'til the lost forsaken endless. . .
    This is where I choose to tread

    Fall. . .so shall we fall into the nihil?
    The nothingness that we feel in the arms of the pale
    In the shadow of the grim companion who walks with us

    Here is the landscape
    Here is the sun
    Here in the balance of the earth
    Where is the god?
    Has he fallen and abandoned us?

    As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand
    The fire in my heart is forged across the land

    Here at the edge of this world
    Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
    If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
    Then God is not dead

    I walked down to a river and sat in reflection of what had to be done
    An offering of crimson flowed into the water below
    A wound of spirit from which it floated and faded away

    . . .like every hope I've ever had. . .
    . . .like every dream I've ever known. . .
    It washed away in a tide of longing, a longing for a better world
    From my will, my throat, to the river, and into the sea. . .
    . . .wash away. . .
    . . .fade away. . .

    Here is the landscape
    Here is the sun
    Here at the edge of the earth
    Where is the god?
    Has he fallen to ruin?

    As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand
    My heathen pride is scarred across the land

    In the shadow of our pale companion by Agalloch
    This song is awesome and I love it (despite being a non believer in God)

    I don't really know.. In terms of relatability, I don't have one, but in terms of humour, just listen to The Coroner's Footnote by Half Man Half Biscuit- it's amazing.

    Okay, I've changed my mind, I do have a favourite lyric: "if the wind surrounds your house, do not turn and twist about, just wait it out." (Don't) tremble - The Low Anthem

    "There is no escape from the slave catcher's songs
    For all of the loved ones gone
    Forever's not so long
    And in your soul they poked a million holes
    But you never let em show
    Come on, it's time to go."

    Nature boy - Celine Dion

    Of all the songs I've ever listened to, those are the words that struck the hardest cord...

    Hm, there's a couple here...

    Bad Apple (English) by Christina Vee
    "Maybe it's a dream, maybe nothing else is real
    But it wouldn't mean a thing
    If I told you how I feel."

    "You can tell me what to say; you can tell me where to go
    But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know."

    "Will tomorrow ever come? Will I make it through the night?
    Will there ever be a place for the broken in the light?
    Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay, or should I go?
    I've forgotten how to tell. Did I ever even know?
    Can I take another step? I've done everything I can
    All the people that I see I will never understand."

    "If I make another move, if I take another step
    Then it all will fall apart. There'd be nothing of me left."

    "Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am?
    I've forgotten how to see; I've forgotten if I can."

    Paper Bag by Fiona Apple
    "Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
    But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
    And I believed for a moment that my chances
    Were approaching to be grabbed
    But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
    I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag."

    "'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
    I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold."

    "My masterpiece, is only mine, entirely guilty by design."

    ...I don't know why, but I enjoy that...

    Also, this:
    "So I would choose to be with you, as if the choice were mine to make, but you can make decisions too, and you can have this heart to break.
    And so it goes, and so it goes, and you're the only one who knows..."
