What We Leave Behind

Hate me! Blame me! Take my hand a last time That calm before the rain Of ash and brimstone hail Midgard lies in flames I crave greatness As all the Gods would know my name If myths turn hollow How blindly I followed Oh, how it pains me more than words can tell Vanity paves the road to Hel How much I miss the world we left behind And your hands in mine What we leave behind The gateway is calling my name I ache for glory and fame Far too high... The toll I’ll pay The promises I made To one day find my way Back to your embrace A fool’s errand The Gods of old will know our shame Folly of mankind As Helheim awaits us Oh, how it pains me more than words can tell Vanity paves the road to Hel How much I miss the world we left behind And your hands in mine One last time! Our yearning gaze towards the stars Radiant tears of the sky A secret hidden in the veil of night... Odin’s Eye Words can tell Vanity paves the road to Hel How much I miss the world we left behind And your hands in mine
