Cult Of Luna - Cygnus Lyrics






Can you see what's following you
It has a mind of its own
Steps so quiet you can't hear it
A parasite without a home

It's got a smile but you don't trust it
Concrete reasons unknown
Put it behind you in the space of your day
A parasite without a home

Can you see what's following you
It has a mind of its own
Steps so quiet you can't hear it
A parasite without a home

Leave her to sing her withered songs
In tunnels painted like the dawn
Bring me the echo 'til it's gone

Nothing escapes this hold
Desperate against the cold
Its flesh made out of stardust
Iron oxide into rust

To write a letter to the night
This songless, sightless, silent giant
This feeble plea
A speck of dust
A drop of sea
It's locked in you and me
Rip it out and feel its heat
Forget the way things seem to be
Meaningless to the one and only

Leave her to sing her withered songs
In tunnels painted like the dawn
Bring me the echo 'til it's gone

Nothing escapes this hold
Desperate against the cold
Its flesh made out of stardust
Iron oxide into rust

It's got a smile but you don't trust it
Concrete reasons unknown
Put it behind you in the space of your day
A parasite without a home

And she'll be standing strong
Her hair is lost in storm
Open your mouth, let air rush in
To get a sense of her form

And she'll be standing strong
Her hair is lost in storm
Open your mouth, let air rush in
To get a sense of her form

She'll be standing while you suffer
Her hair is lost in the storm
Open your mouth, let air rush in
To get a sense of her form

But if the audience is imminent
And if your parasites come home
Remember the old adage
Deep roots are not reached by frost

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her
Leave her to her withered song
Withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Write your
Sightless, songless, silent giant
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Write your
Sightless, songless, silent giant
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Write your
Sightless, songless, silent giant
Silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Write your
Sightless, songless, silent giant
Silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Leave her to her withered song
Leave her to her withered song
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Tunnels painted like the dawn
Write your letter to the night
Write your letter to the night
Sightless, songless, silent giant
Sightless, songless, silent giant

Cult Of Luna Cygnus Comments
  1. A.... ....

    The FUCKING ENDING. Catharsis ain't even a fitting word for it.

  2. D.... G....

    One of my favourite songs of all time - what a riff, that, and that sing-song outro!
    Absolutely beautiful.

  3. D.... C....

    Perturbator was correct. Again.

    D.... C....

    Portuguesa e com este ouvido... wow.

  4. B.... O....

    Щедевр

  5. S.... F....

    Play this on my burial.

  6. O.... ....

    I LOVE THIS SONG.

  7. T.... ....

    This is a fucking masterpiece, thank you cult of luna and julie for bringing this piece of art into my life

  8. l.... ....

    Has anyone figured out the repeating lick that starts from 2:45? Because it's fucking awesome and I'd love to know how to play it! All the recordings I've seen aren't clear enough and my ear's not up to scratch to figure it out over all the other layers.

  9. t.... ....

    This band changed my life, it has made me appreciate life and respect death, think more deeply about our planet and what mysteries lies across the solar system. We don't have much time. I am growing older yet wiser, although, this music and others will transcend and endure. It will never truly vanish. Thank you, Cult of Luna.

  10. M.... J....

    This track makes me love metal for the first time

  11. F.... L....

    Two and a half year passed and about a few hundred records later, this is still the pinnacle of music in my eyes. Best collab of all time and among my fav records of all time. Cygnus is beyond words.

    F.... L....

    came here to say exactly this, too good beyond words.

  12. S.... T....

    This song has proven to be time and time again one of the most inspirational songs I know of. The perfect soundtrack for photo editing with headphones on 11.

  13. I.... S....

    initiating AT 9:48 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~~ neurogenesis happens

  14. L.... L....

    Это феноменально!!!!

  15. K.... K....

    This outro is the best fucking thing i heard...

  16. I.... ....

    Absolutely magnificent.

  17. S.... P....

    Thanks, Perturbator!

    S.... P....

    I'll say. This track is awesome in its own right.

    S.... P....

    @apathykills pay no attention to this my phone is doing something weird

    S.... P....

    I love how both tracks are amazing but each one has their own specific moods attached. <3

    S.... P....

    I like the guitar solos on this one, altough the cinematic take of perturbator's one is really cool.


    I just love both. Maybe someone should do a mashup?

    S.... P....

    Yeah I feel that. Personally I like this version better but that has more to do with me being on a sludge kick.

    And yeah the riffs in this song are fucking god tier and remind me a lot of Neurosis.

  18. A.... S....

    666 like s… i’m that last 👽

  19. S.... n....

    This is the perfect track to not go gentle into that good night to, even mister D. Thomas would agree :)

  20. R.... ....

    Some metalheads.. haver you heard that solo? That 15 second long opening blew me off.... Me:

  21. N.... ....

    That was very emotional.

  22. A.... N....

    What is Julie saying at 12:15 when she comes back in over the underlying vocal loop???

    A.... N....

    And she’ll be standing strong
    Her hair is lost in storm
    Open your mouth
    And let air rush in

    A.... N....

    Илья afx Thank you!!!

  23. D.... ....

    Julie is amazing, and this song proves that this collaboration is magical. There needs to be more.

  24. H.... ....

    One of the best endings to a song i have ever heard.

  25. w.... w....

    The last 5 minutes ...... Damn!

  26. D.... ....

    i was searching for Cygnus Vismund Cygnus but i think i stay

    D.... ....

    Both bands are just exquisite

    D.... ....

    both songs rock, both songs are the best off their album

  27. S.... ....

    Pure Bliss!

  28. l.... v....

    ta weno weon oh.

  29. o.... ....

    JUST ::::::::::WOW

  30. X.... G....

    i found myself singing along in my head and tears began to flow, truly amazing

  31. J.... L....

    Not a fan of Julie's vocals especially when they go harsh. I'll stick to SATH, Eternal Kingdom and Vertikal.

    J.... L....

    Jesse Lapham I agree, at least that it doesn't work with CoL. I'm actually dumfounded that this album was so well recieved. It seems to me that it flies in the face of all the advancements the band made to be unique. The instruments weren't really all that special either

  32. T.... L....

    Oh man, this is insane.

  33. m.... m....

    Six months ago, I was in a dark place. I was using Amenra as the soundtrack to my divorce. Now, the opposite is happening. I'm coming together with someone new, and we are using this song on repeat, as a soundtrack for never leaving the house. ....we both bust out laughing tho when the Dario Argento keyboards start up at the end, is there a mix without keyboards? ..........laughing survivor of the dark.
    peas.

    m.... m....

    cult of luna is the BOMB

  34. I.... M....

    I want to make love to this song.

  35. A.... K....

    The best 15 minutes I ever heard in my life. Masterpiece for the end times!

  36. �.... �....

    Шикарно

  37. D.... M....

    This song is amazing

  38. V.... ....

    my ride to work is long enough for exactly three playthroughs of this song. it's with me every fuckin day <3

  39. S.... A....

    man this is insane ...

  40. C.... P....

    \m/  congrats to Julie Christmas and cult of luna for an amazing metal recording -what  a unique voice

  41. A.... ....

    " she'll be standing while you suffer ,her hair is lost in storm "

    A.... ....

    The raw fucking power Miss Christmas puts into those lines is incredible.

  42. D.... L....

    I didn't know I needed this until about fifteen minutes ago.
    Now I do.

  43. C.... F....

    Awestruck...

  44. M.... M....

    Just came back from the Concert in Lausanne,and this song was a blast

    M.... M....

    I couldn't agree more. This song almost tore me apart...but in a good way. :)

  45. N.... J....

    This song is what it feels like to have sex with the Cosmos on acid.

    N.... J....

    Tako je brate

    N.... J....

    My usual mental breakdown

    N.... J....

    This song is what it feels like to have sex with Julie Christmas on acid while you on crack.

  46. M.... C....

    2:45!!!!

  47. J.... N....

    This album is like Kingdom, Vertikal and Highway all rolled into one with some epic female vocals which is something new and amazing. Just when you think this band couldn't possibly cover any more ground..

    J.... N....

    I knew Julie Christmas first and since the first Mariner-Song on Youtube I found Cult of Luna. :D

  48. J.... R....

    This is so good.

  49. P.... ....

    Until this song, the album feels like a quite strong 8/10 (Approaching Transition takes some of the momentum from the album imo). But then... GODDAMNIT!! You truly left the best for last... Best song Cult of Luna has ever written, just goddamn perfection. And Julie Christmas is just beyond amazing in this song!!

    P.... ....

    Agreed. She should be an official member of the band.

    P.... ....

    Pakkemi It's such a pity that Approaching Transition prevents the album from being perfect

    P.... ....

    Highly disagree about Approaching Transition but opinions can differ i guess.

    P.... ....

    Ostracized666 æther It reminds to Type O Negative- Frozen. When a song has great ideas but it's ruined by the wrong singer and a distorted effect that killed the singing

    P.... ....

    "and Julie Christmas", Julie is the reason why it's worth listening to this album in the first place

  50. M.... n....

    Best track from Mariner

  51. S.... S....

    Truly epic track

  52. g.... g....

    fucking amazing

  53. C.... ....

    Best song off of a truly stellar album! That atmospheric/ambient interlude around 5:40 reminds me a lot of _Vertikal_.

    C.... ....

    Crandaddy Tool vibes!

    C.... ....

    Isis vibe

  54. S.... ....
