Ihsahn - Threnody lyrics
[Ihsahn - Threnody lyrics]
He lies quiet now in the nothing
And there is no epitaph, no stone
Yet his legacy flows like a river
Walker of barren paths, seer of night
Friend of shadows, a carrier of light
And his legacy flows like a river from ice
The hungry heart opens
And drinks from this fountain so cold
There are no promises in his solitary grave
There is no salvation only words
But what then are these precious streams
Of coldness from the heights?
They will never reach the fields below
What is this silent grave to those
Who never sought to find it?
What is greatness to the dead? To the dead
And his legacy flows like a river from ice
The hungry heart opens
And drinks from this fountain so cold
And there is no epitaph, no stone
Yet his legacy flows like a river
Walker of barren paths, seer of night
Friend of shadows, a carrier of light
And his legacy flows like a river from ice
The hungry heart opens
And drinks from this fountain so cold
There are no promises in his solitary grave
There is no salvation only words
But what then are these precious streams
Of coldness from the heights?
They will never reach the fields below
What is this silent grave to those
Who never sought to find it?
What is greatness to the dead? To the dead
And his legacy flows like a river from ice
The hungry heart opens
And drinks from this fountain so cold
