Lyrics
Eric The Red
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why I take refuge here, my father was
outlawed from the old land in east
A story of bloodshed and I too was outlawed,
now I take refuge here
What brings you here my friend, what brings
you north to where hell is of ice
South from the sand dunes where hell is of
fire, why have you come so far
Anywhere, you don't care where you
Go as long as there are faithless you can
make believe need help
And that you have the cure, of your
intentions, I'm sure
I can't bring it all to reason you've
convinced these people that all
Their ancestors were wrong, disoriented they
do not know where they belong
Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone
Both sides waging war will be for one true divinity
Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone
Both sides waging war will be raging in the
name of one true divinity
This I don't understand, why this perverted
superhuman ideal
So we are born to nothing but torture and
torment, that, I don't understand
Clearly I see the end, I pray that the embers
will persist from my faith
Clearly I'm outnumbered, allegedly outdated,
since your arrival here.
Anywhere, you don't care where you
Go as long as there are faithless you can
make believe need help
And that you have the cure, of your
intentions, I'm sure
I can't bring it all to reason you've
convinced these people that all
Their ancestors were wrong, disoriented they
do not know where they belong
Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone
Both sides waging war will be for one true divinity
Just convert the whole wide world, into the
abyss we are hurled
Sentenced come end of the world, spare me
your selfrighteous word
