Vordr - Before lyrics

rate me

There used to grow moss<br />

On this rock and on those firs<br />

Darkness used to comfort<br />

Under their branches<br />

<br />

Between those cliffs<br />

A creek once streamed<br />

It's water too cold<br />

For lips to touch<br />

<br />

Behind the heavy clouds<br />

A sun used to shine<br />

Bright as it's wintry gleam<br />

Reflecting from melting ice<br />

<br />

In the barren hut on the shore<br />

The rain now drums the roof<br />

In silence I mourn<br />

Of the loss on my kin<br />

<br />

What has become of this land<br />

When was the spirit slain<br />

Where now stand the ancestral shrines<br />

Why was the heritage abandoned<br />

<br />

That which once flourished<br />

Must now in ruins lie<br />

But from this wretched soul<br />

Old ways never die
