I hope this hasn't been done to death before or anything because I thought it would make a pretty cool topic. Just post some of your favourite lyrics from Borknagar and maybe try to analyse the meaning of them, or possible concepts the lyrics are trying to convey. o_O

The Black Canvas

"A pursuance of that very first creation
Expansion and a constant alteration
The fringes of the canvas always stir
The boundary is bathing in a blur

Forged by time on the last of eternity
Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity
Spread out on a canvas of deepest black
The white glowing softness a fierce attack"

I think this is talking about how the universe is not bound or limited in any direction and any conceivable boundaries are not fixed. Gives me a sense that the possibilities are endless in our universe. :zombie:

Damn... how great could be hear/see Vintervredets Sjelesagn live
I don't think Mr. V's screams will sound as good as Garm's (in that particular song)

They probably played that song live when they were in Amsterdam in early 1996.
Asgeir, do you know which songs were played back then?
I know you weren't in the band at that time, but do you and Oystein ever talk about the "old days" ?
