Wardruna - Skugge - Norwegian - 2022

Shadow...........
Lonely I sat outside
By the foot of mountain
At dusk he witnessed/visited me
His name Shadow

I gazed straight
Shadow gazed, back at me
Into my deepest core
At my furthest grasp
We both locked eyes

With howling silence
I asked for the way
But shadow remained silent

With howling silence
I asked for the purpose
But shadow remained silent

All light drained away
Shadow crept
Into the mountain and disappeared

With beating heart
I howled at the cliff
With dwarven speech
Shadow droned from the mountain

Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Without a trace to journey into the night

Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Without a trace to journey into the night

Fire compels you and me
Fire compels you and me
Without a trace to journey into the night
Without a trace to journey into the night
Still you wade/stirr deep in me
Still you wade/stirr deep in me
Wildly you dance, two become one
Wildly you dance, two become one
Wildly you dance, two become one
