Game of the Winnower and Gardener

By Alzurath-Metal · Progressive Metal

This is a track about the creators of the destiny 2 universe. An epic, prog death metal track. Lyrics Written by me.

Lyrics:

Before time, before form…"

"A silent void, where nothing was born…"

"Two wills emerged, infinite and vast,

One to create, one to cast."

Order and chaos, bound in a dance,

From their game, existence had its chance.

Let there be light… let there be shadow."

[Verse]

In the void, where silence reigned,

Two forces danced, their paths unchained.

The Gardener sowed, with gentle grace,

Life’s first spark in a boundless space.

[Verse]

The Winnower watched, with patient sight,

A blade in hand, to balance light.

Creation sang, destruction loomed,

A universe born in endless bloom.

[Chorus]

Through chaos and calm, the garden grew,

Infinite threads, both old and new.

A dance of order, a clash of will,

The Gardener plants, the Winnower kills.

In the garden eternal, where stars align,

They shaped the cosmos, divine design.

[Verse]

For every bloom, a shadow fell,

The scales of fate, the endless well.

Giving the universe breath.

They weave together, life and death.

A story told, again, and again.

[Breakdown]

The seeds of chaos scattered wide,

A thousand worlds, the Gardener’s pride.

Yet entropy called, with a voice so clear,

The Winnower whispered, “Balance is near.”

[Pre-chorus]

Infinite games, endless play,

The rules they made would never stay.

The flower blooms, the scythe will sever,

Their bond, eternal, yet broken forever.

[Chorus}

Through chaos and calm, the garden grew,

Infinite threads, both old and new.

A dance of order, a clash of will,

The Gardener plants, the Winnower kills.

In the garden eternal, where stars align,

They shaped the cosmos, divine design.

[Bridge]

A perfect pattern, the Gardener’s goal,

Yet the Winnower’s blade took its toll.

“Perfection dies,” the shadow spoke,

“Only through endings can life provoke.”

Their harmony shattered, a war begun,

Two eternal forces under a dying sun.

Creation’s breath and destruction’s blade,

Forever locked in the games they played.

[Breakdown]

"Sow the seeds! Cut them down!"

"Order breaks! Chaos drowns!"

"Play the game! Break the rules!"

"Eternal dance of the infinite fools!"

[Chorus]

Through chaos and calm, the garden grew,

Infinite threads, both old and new.

A dance of order, a clash of will,

The Gardener plants, the Winnower kills.

In the garden eternal, where stars align,

They shaped the cosmos, divine design.

{Outro}

And so they play, forever entwined,

Creators bound by the threads of time.

Life and death, a perfect song,

In the garden eternal, where they belong.
