"What We Leave Behind" lyrics

"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
