Lyrics

It came from dismal shadows
Creeping, sudden, from behind
Fell upon my merry whistle
Darkened me at heart and sight
Back with me, one again with the memory
Again I behold the ruins
That I left when I was all devoured by wrath

Last night out in the timber
A thousand torrent's vehemence
Came rushing through my veins
Up my throat and filled the eyes
And then that I knew
All pain will be undone
When I pack my bags
And depart for lonely roads

And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering

How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the sea

Merely hours passed
That I had left him to his mountains
His colossal idols - one for every spear in me
Slopes so steep
I could not conquer in a lifetime
Now they're all but ruins
Ruins I left behind

And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off plants aside, still wondering

How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea

There is always one waiting for me, my beloved
I shall be with her again so soon
Craving for her lips, her kiss
Her hair in summer winds
The morning dew dripping down her breasts

Shadows and flames

I have been demure
Cries were silent but heart ablaze
Have been one of his shadows
Condemned to stray an unlit maze
My feet are numb, soles torn wide open
After endless years of clambering
My path is lit and leads me north

And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering

How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea?
