Grip of Fog Lyrics


One ear to the ground

One eye on your grave

I’ve prayed for a sign

So many times

I have cursed the wind that howls

Your evergreen lullaby

How dare you sleep while I am damned

To wander in this endless night?

While the grave of all light

Grows inside of me

How dare you sleep?

I have cursed you,

Bleak shadow of the moon

Bleak silhouette of gloom

Lure of memory

Furrows in wood and stone

The scornful stare, a knife

Of hope in my back

Nothing left to lose

As nothing will ever stop this nightmare

From awakening

Yet, how sweet their ruin tastes

In all this bitterness

The trees whisper ancient spells,

Have they cursed me now? Oh, how heavy

Our loneliness weighs on the valley,

Don’t tell me

You know my anguish

Cruel cause of my madness

Abandoning me

Even now betraying me

On the edge of the world

On the edge of the fog

I have cursed the wind that howls

Your evergreen lullaby

How dare you sleep while I am damned

To wander in this endless night?

While the grave of the only light

Grows inside of me

How dare you sleep?

One ear to the ground

One eye on your grave

I’ve prayed for a sign

But again was betrayed
