With you, my guide,
staring to the sun
through the marshes, rivers, hills,
through the misty seas,
through the memories,
there my way leads!
With you, my desire,
I turned to ice, into snow,
but the sun, the fire
brought me woe
I’ve wept myself to the ground
in its holes little I found
of my paradise
I’m not the one you believed in,
I’m not the one you hoped
I’m not the one who’s born in awe
trying to reach, still failing to find
the life I once dreamt about
Ref.:
Serpents’ seeker, ravens’ master,
bear the mighty and the wolf’s kin
the fox on the heaths, the hawk under the skies,
that’s what I have been, that’s what I have lost
Take me where I belong,
take me where I could rest,
take me where I’d find myself,
take me where all starts and ends
With you, my sorrow,
I grew up high, grew up tall,
mourning willow
awaiting the fall...
they brought me down, cut off my head,
the blazing stake should be the bed
I have longed for
I’m not the one I believed in,
I’m not the one I hoped
I’m not the one who’s born in awe
trying to reach, still failing to find
the life I once dreamt about
Ref.
Serpents’ seeker!
Ravens’ master!
To ashes burnt, my fate,
when dawn comes, will we lie
and I ask if it’s too late
or should we try?
Once again, hand in hand
to find our place on this land
That’s what I ask...
With you, my guide,
staring to the sun
through the marshes, rivers, hills,
through the misty seas,
through the memories,
there our way leads!
