Hudba: Eyrah, Ertha 2023
Text: Eyrah 2011
První verzi téhle skladby napsal Eyrah v roce 2011, ale dlouhá léta ležela nedokončená u ledu. V jejím úvodu je možno vidět Grega v netradiční roli metalového dirigenta.
Text:
What life are we supposed to live
So that Death would hide his face in shame
And the ferryman on the river Styx
Would lead his boat from the shore
Crying…
I have turned away from the past
I see no more the first stars
I don’t hear the stories the fathers told
Nor can I read from the birds’ flight
I can’t look up at the sky
I play hide and seek with the light
What will make me worth living
Worth living this life forever?
Ref.:
From the ashes to innocence,
From the human to the divine
Longing for purity
It burns till death
I have betrayed myself
So many times,
Will it save me?
Should my soul be whispering wind,
Weeping earth, solemn sea?
To hunt with wolves, to crawl with snakes,
Will it make me stay?
Ref.
This moment is all I possess.
Should I let it go?
Stride out towards the ocean
And put the flame within to sleep?
Thirty silvery coins
And a kiss on my own cheek
I’d better devour them all
And take the last farewell…
Ref.
