The storm is nigh Roiling clouds above the peak Signs of life Fading fast beneath the sky Wait to die Your beating heart will soon be mine Run away from here This is my land, this is where you fall (Rakshasa) Where you vanish with no trace at all (Rakshasa) Where even the gods dare not ascend (Rakshasa) Where infinities begin again (Rakshasa) I will find you Take me away I will find you Take me away Kangchenjunga, where earth meets heaven Here among the Five Treasures of Snow Footprints tell the stories of ancient gods Deities watching over this hallowed ground Beyond the summit where no man walks Lies the final frozen crucible of this world This is my land, this is where you fall (Rakshasa) Where you vanish with no trace at all (Rakshasa) Where even the gods dare not ascend (Rakshasa) Where infinities begin again (Rakshasa) I will find you (Take me away) I will find you (Take me away)

In the vast cold fields lie treasures untold Yet what you see is not what I behold Gaze into the abyss as I gaze into you Is it gold that you seek? Is it the wisdom of ages Or is it everlasting life? Run away from here, never look back Leave it all behind, leave it for the gods Run away, run away while you still can Do you seek gold or everlasting life?

Eyes of God 07:17
Come with me to lands of ice I will show you the way through Crevasses call and chasms wait Insatiable their appetites The cold awaits my beck and call The frost descends upon my will The eyes of god cannot see here The mountain, it can sense your fear Life and death are in my hands Follow me through hallowed lands Every mountain, every pass Every valley, every stream Spirits watch your greatest test Dzö-nga follows, never rests And one day you will believe Believe in me

Stand, fight I'm finished running away Rise, turning my eyes to the sky I will climb this mountain or die Following fading tracks They lie, they lie Staggering blindly on Be gone, be gone Summit, break in the clouds In sight, in sight Holding breath, reaching out The light, the light

about

Five Treasures of Snow is a demo album by ambient black metal band Dzö-nga. It draws on ancient mythology to describe an otherworldly Himalayan ascent. Remastered edition for Avantgarde Music.

"An astonishingly focused work...best if heard in its entirety so listeners can appreciate its flowing quality, the deep brooding ambience, the use of dark space as an instrument and mood-setter, and the subtle, almost organic changes that occur throughout. This is a very brave and ambitious recording."
- The Sound Projector

"Simultaneously claustrophobic and unforgivingly exposing - it takes atmospheric to a level of transportation. "
- Ryan F., Sputnik Music

"Monolithic, cold and harrowing...The sound of the singing bowl is an ingenious choice on this record."
- Zachary Dixon, Sputnik Music
