Solefald - Where Birds Have Never Been lyrics
[Solefald - Where Birds Have Never Been lyrics]
I walked towards Reykjavik as always alone
When a band of dwarves seized
Me pulling me through stone
Down into their underworld where
Birds have never been
Wickedness and wonders the weirdest
Things ever seen a silver dwarf seated on
His mighty dark throne
Held up his wand and spoke to me in dire tone
"You come from way above and
Shall prove your worth
This ordeal has been waiting
Since before your birth
A victim of Destiny is what you claim to be
If you've been wronged then for
Sure you'll be free
But, if your prove too weak
To accept your fate
That means your freedom will
Forever have to wait
Only dwarves will know your
All-too human shame
Only small men will speak
Your dishonoured name
You'll stay in the underworld where
Birds have never been
Among gold and silver the
Weirdest things ever seen
In the dim timelessness where
Only spiders mate
It might take you a thousand
Years to honour your fate
Thnk of Destiny for each
Rust-red drop that falls
On your brow while you stare
At these stately walls
You must teach your stomach to
Let go of it's greed
Your throat will learn to
Abate it's strong need
You'll ask if life is an illness
If you can be cured
In the end if you make it
Your story might be heard
The day you can bear the
Clothes Destiny gave to you
Then we can give you the
Powers see you stay true
You'll be free to leave this place
Deprived of life and light
Climb up towards the white sun to
Take up your great fight
You'll speak like a god
Before the cheering masses
You'll stand like a cliff in the
Stream of time that passes
Choose right over wrong there's
Nothing in between
Never be haughty or spiteful
Stay calm and serene
Drink the wine of winners live
With pride in the sun
As a man of the sword and
A master of the word
Not as a wild wolf forever on the run
Whose life's an illness that cannot be cured
Remember your friends where birds
Have never been
Wickedness and wonders the weirdest
Dwarves ever seen
We shall stay behind in this
Mine of wisdom and gold
When leaving the Underworld be
Strong and bold
As you climb through the stone
You'll again be all alone"
Thus spake the silver dwarf from
His mighty dark throne
When a band of dwarves seized
Me pulling me through stone
Down into their underworld where
Birds have never been
Wickedness and wonders the weirdest
Things ever seen a silver dwarf seated on
His mighty dark throne
Held up his wand and spoke to me in dire tone
"You come from way above and
Shall prove your worth
This ordeal has been waiting
Since before your birth
