Emperor - Of Blindness & Subsequent Seers lyrics

rate me

[Music: Ihsahn, Samoth]

[Lyrics: Ihsahn]

Ever behind me

Rise a shadow

Taller than I

Yet, with a certain resemblance

How many times

Do I have to contemplate my own reflection

And say; I have been blind?

I have been blind

Yet, I saw the search and dreams

Of my rejection

Walking behind me

Every time

I am bound to have been granted

The gift of better sight

But my anxiety

Built one more brick

Fearing again

To choose the wrong step

Vaguely I remember

The blurred eyes

Of someone small

These strangers often come as blind

A troubled mind

I left behind

Yet, was it I

Of my shadow

Walking in the past?
