Lyrics
How did I get here
What will I find here
The field is lost
All hope's now gone
I understand
There is no chance
The curse lives on
My children mourn
You'll be with me
For a long time
This place
You won't leave it
No more
Forever
Forever
No
I'm wondering
Who is it for
There's nothing more
I won this war
Dared Valinor
You won't enter
You're deceived
They've sealed the secret place
Out
And day won't come again
No
So there's no relief
When truth shall be revealed
By now you know the answer
So there's no relief
But deceit
Abandoned, forgotten, deceived
Wherever they may roam
So faithful, so loyal
Still no one will come
You're alone
Don't call it destiny
[Chorus]
We will remember
Skies may fade
And stars may wane
We won't forget
And your light shines bright
Yes, so much brighter
Shine on
We will remember
Until the skies will fall
We won't forget
We will remember
We all shall follow
Doom
It's going down
Going down
And there's nothing
You can do
Look into my eyes
(And see)
Your seed it may grow
This is no vision
It's the curse
You'll be deceived
I set upon your kin
Their cries shall come true
It shall be me
You blame
Now watch and see
I'll set doom
Upon you
Your offspring shall bloom
Wherever they may roam
I'll bind them
I'll split them
In solitude
Sorrow shall grow
Unknown
[Chorus]
If that's your choice
Your descendants
They wish
They have never been born
Redeem the oath
And pay the price
If you want
Here on these fields
Where truth shall be revealed
In doom you'll find the answers
Still there's no release
You shall feel
Let's face it
Since everything's shown
You've been through this alone
The deeper the wounds
So much greater the sorrows will grow
There is no sense in it
[Chorus]
