The Ravens

Only ashes and bones remain

My hair is wet, my eyes are sore

The past has been fed to the flames

I cannot breathe anymore

I try to stand on my feet, but I fall

I try to walk, but I crawl

Life -- as we knew it, is over

And you are gone

Forever gone...

I will not bend to a cross

I will not kneel at your feet

Greed and anger

Made us younger

Couldn't save us when the tower fell

All my strength and all my hunger

All is lost

And none will live to tell

I rest in the ruins of days gone by

Of young affection and velvet sky

A slave to greed...

I do not feel regret anymore

I sense the presence of birds

Encircling me...

And I am gone

Til jord skal vi bli

Dark is the night

Dead is the moon

I will not kneel

I'd rather die

Facing my doom

I will not kneel
