lyrics
The Lost surrounded the lake, but could come no further. This was not a place for those between life and the great sleep. The lake was shallow and they walked the length of it, fog hovering over the surface and shrouding the glowing eyes, mouths, and twitching limbs at the lakeshore.
A mighty and twisted tree appeared out of the mists. Woja knew their journey had ended, for this was the barrow of the all mothers. Kyllar stood at a distance saying nothing. He felt that to break the silence here would be to sin yet again against the law of this strange land.
The twins set the litter down and placed their mother at the trees roots.
“Goodbye mother,” Woja said, uncovering her mother's face and kissing the exposed forehead. Tears streamed freely down Soja’s cheeks but she said nothing. Woja took up a song her mother had been teaching her during their long trek. The spirits of all those who resided there took up the song, a chorus of whispers permeated from the mist. By the songs end, the body was gone. Dawn lifted the gloom of that place and scattered The Lost back to the shadows.
“Goodbye my stars,” their mother said. Soja gasped. Their mother had appeared, as had an earthen portal between the great trees roots. Through this the specter stepped, looked back once at her daughters, then, as a candles flame is snuffed out, both woman and door vanished.
"Mother," Soja finally managed, "am I strong?"
The answer came as if from across a great distance, "you are the strongest."
As did the fog that surrounded Kyllar, obscuring what had transpired. When its last wisps dispersed only Soja stood there, her face streaked with tears.
“My sister is not coming home with us.”

Dynamic, mysterious and percussion heavy Dungeon Synth. Both masterfully conceived and produced. Grimfather is a must own for fans of narrative driven Dungeon Synth and Fantasy Ambient.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose.
