On The Shores - Ihsahn

Not like secrets, twisted alibis for empty graves

Unlike letters cut and burned a thousand times

Not like hours

Coiled in coffins

Weeping echoes

Weeping echoes

Not by statues, golden monuments for houses of worship

Unlike banners with great white sails torn to shreds, no!

Not like promises, hungry shadows in cold dark alleys

These rocky shores are crafted by the pulse of the sea

By the pulse of the sea

And here I go on
