Album: Eric the Red
Nightfall in my hall, all I can do is recall as I sit
alone in the
Darkness, I confess, my part was not any less than
whose I was forced to impress
It was a year ago, I left my heart behind to return,
with a longing did I burn, I meant to return
And now a year has gone and everything has changed for
the worse and it’s on me like a curse, things changed
for the worse
Sentenced to the death by the Thing, four conspirators
'gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf they’re just four blood brothers
going over the edge
Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar
lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfelliðfrá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá iðkalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta
valaknúk
I see no other way than on, what will they say when I am gone
I want my memory to be mild, I want it to glow
Upon my pages blood is stained, this way some honour
will remain
But I did cause the death of a child both you and I know
And when they came to bleed me dry, I only wonder why
did I On that Easter morn' for the love of my life not vie
Let them kill me just the same, I should have lied and
played their game
It is a lesser sin than what I have done since that day
It won’t go away, nothing I can say save lay down and
pray
What came from within, what came from without,
I can’t be about, myself do I doubt ever since that day
Sentenced to the death by the Thing, four conspirators
'gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf they’re just four blood brothers
going over the edge
Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar
lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfelliðfrá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá iðkalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta
valaknúk
New day, we all pay for our mistakes on our way; lead
me up the hillside at Daybreak, my mistake, don’t shed a tear at my wake,
just believe it’s for my own sake
No turning back now
No tears at my wake, I’ll pay for my vow
Just march up the hill till we reach the end
Transmigration calls, I long to ascend
It’s for my own sake
