Why I take refuge here, my father was outlawed from the old land in east A story of bloodshed and I too was outlawed, now I take refuge here What brings you here my friend, what brings you north to where hell is of ice South from the sand dunes where hell is of fire, why have you come so far Anywhere, you don't care where you Go as long as there are faithless you can make believe need help And that you have the cure, of your intentions, I'm sure I can't bring it all to reason you've convinced these people that all Their ancestors were wrong, disoriented they do not know where they belong Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone Both sides waging war will be for one true divinity Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone Both sides waging war will be raging in the name of one true divinity This I don't understand, why this perverted superhuman ideal So we are born to nothing but torture and torment, that, I don't understand Clearly I see the end, I pray that the embers will persist from my faith Clearly I'm outnumbered, allegedly outdated, since your arrival here. Anywhere, you don't care where you Go as long as there are faithless you can make believe need help And that you have the cure, of your intentions, I'm sure I can't bring it all to reason you've convinced these people that all Their ancestors were wrong, disoriented they do not know where they belong Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone Both sides waging war will be for one true divinity Just convert the whole wide world, into the abyss we are hurled Sentenced come end of the world, spare me your selfrighteous word --- Eric The Red - Týr
