about

Initially featured on the "Wild Roots Feral Futures 2016 Compilation"

Chorus of Gray Fire was the track to really cement what it was that we wanted to accomplish with Zakarion. Linking spoken word and soundscapes was at the core of what we were doing since the beginning, but this piece let us use it to extended effect. To this day I believe that this is the track that I worked the hardest on. I am very grateful to the colleagues and friends who contributed their voices to the Chorus.

-Thrall

I think Thrall really mentioned most of the meaning to this piece. It was a long process that I was mostly not involved in. We gave people a month or so, I believe, to record the spoken word pieces. Then Thrall worked on them. We created the musical backdrop from this. This is what really solidified Zakarion as an entity.

lyrics

There was never any grass

Civilization burns too hot to burn forever.

There was never any grass.
Strange, to be beautiful without adornment.
Most don't think that such nothingness can burn,
but the gray that follows is not near as serene.

The fire cracks and screams like sirens
as the brush blazes and the dust remains as still as it ever was.
When the gray crumbles and falls, the dust will accept it.
But it really has no choice.

The fire burns hot.
Too hot,
Eventually it will burn itself out.
And the dust will be back in its place.
Waiting for that next gray fire.
