The Edge
Nightfall in my hall, all I can do is recall
As I sit alone in the darkness
I confess, my part was not any less than whose I was forced to impress
It was a year ago, I left my heart behind to return
With a longing did I burn, I meant to return
And now a year has gone and everything has changed for the worse
And it's on me like a curse, things changed for the worse
Sentenced to the death by the Thing, four conspirators 'gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf
They're just four blood brothers going over the edge
Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfellið frá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá ið kalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta valaknúk
I see no other way than on
What will they say when I am gone?
I want my memory to be mild, I want it to glow
Upon my pages blood is stained, this way some honour will remain
But I did cause the death of a child both you and I know
And when they came to bleed me dry, I only wonder why did I
On that Easter morn' for the love of my life not vie
And let them kill me just the same, I should have lied and played their game
It is a lesser sin than what I have done since that day
It won't go away, nothing I can say save lay down and pray
What came from within, what came from without
I can't be about, myself do I doubt ever since that day
Sentenced to the death by the Thing, four conspirators 'gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf
They're just four blood brothers going over the edge
Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfellið frá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá ið kalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta valaknúk
New day, we all pay for our mistakes on our way
lead me up the hillside at daybreak
My mistake, don't shed a tear at my wake
Just believe it's for my own sake
No turning back now, no tears at my wake
I'll pay for my vow
Just march up the hill till we reach the end
Transmigration calls, I long to ascend
It's for my own sake
