lyrics

The breeding grounds lie up, up high up the rivers
Rivers spawned by ocean water vaporized by the sun
Condensed as snow, rain or mist they turned into mountain streams
To shape the landscape as they grew into erosive mighty rivers

And the salmon go…

Up up up against the current they go
Through fresh waters
Swim, climb, jump – en route mortality
In these fresh waters

They were born up high, up high up these rivers
And journeyed down with the current to the lakes and the seas
To spend their lives in the saline water of the oceans
Preparing for the great journey home to the place they once were born

Up up up against the current they go
Through fresh waters
Swim, climb, jump - en route mortality
In these fresh waters

Up up up against the current they go
Through fresh waters
Swim, climb, jump - there is no room for the weak
In these fresh waters

They keep on going up to the spawning grounds
They keep on jumping the falls

They grew from fry to parr to smolt to adult ocean salmon
Now battling the rapids and the obstacles the river may present
Eagles, humans, grizzly bears and seals awaiting every chance
And as they reach their destination they spawn, deteriorate and die

Up up up against the current they go
Through fresh waters
Swim, climb, jump – en route mortality
In these fresh waters

Up up up against the current they go
Through fresh waters
Swim, climb, jump – prespawn mortality
In these fresh waters

Their rotting carcasses transfer nutrients
To terrestrial wildlife and riparian woodlands
And the cycle starts again

Fields florish, flowers bloom
And everywhere life attracts life
As all life on land depends on fresh water…

Celesterre The Hague, The Netherlands

Dark and epic heavy metal unit, functioning as the Mouth of the Earth. Sometimes describing scenes from the natural world. Sometimes issuing a warning. Always emphasizing that man is but a small and futile segment within the grandeur of nature…
