lyrics

The stained papers of a book I'm trying to read,
scrape through my fingers as I'm getting cold feet.

Trying to sink in, to wade in.

The other times that I try to escape to,
I'm trying to enjoy it, but it feels like I wait,

For it to sink in, to wade in.

I've read tons of first pages, but none seem to grip.
The waste of times I could have wasted better, a lifetime of abandoning ships.

Begin to sink in.
I’ve returned to these pages, but they’re making me sick.
The fading of my reflection, by a changing of tide.
Wading in time.
Or can it sink past, below me weaving a line.
The weight of time, makes me feel weightless, when the pages are slit.

The stained papers of a book trying to read,
Scrape through my fingers but I'm getting cold feet. b

Trying to sink in,
To wade in.

The other times that I try to escape to,
I'm trying to enjoy it but it feels like I wait,

For it to sink in.
For it to sink in.

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

What if old Opeth was obsessed with space instead of lepers and ghosts? you would probably get an album like this, which is fantastic. Amanda Kauffman
