lyrics

Deep in the heart of the world of fog
Lie the halls of the dead.
And there 'neath the shelter of sleet-battered walls
The Goddess she lays them to rest.
Dark is her countenance, grim are her halls,
Famine, disease are her fare.
But all who are mortal and wonder this earth
Must ready for welcoming there.

Do you seek death to be truly alive?
The struggle for breath like a fire inside?

Where my ancestors dwell,
There I am longing to tread.
And bask in their wisdom and the stories they tell,
There I would lay down my head.
Goddess! I am worn of the earth.
My feet feel the weight of the years.
Grant me your blessing that I may know
Your embrace at the end of my years.

"Life is but a dream there comes a time when you must wake.
You are but a dreamer can you resolve to your fate?"

Do you seek death to be truly alive?
To know her caress at the end of your life?

Lo! As in answer to prayer,
A raven alighted before.
And spoke unto me in the language of man,
Thus did my Goddess implore:
"Few are the men who so truly have lived
To dare think them worthy of me!
Show me your worth with your life and your deeds.
Then may my company keep!"
