Beneath a Cold Sky (Undir Köldum Himni)

[Verse 1] I walked alone on shores of blackened ages fire died in frozen hands heaven opened slowly over me like the earth still knew my name We drifted far away from the ocean far away from the voice of storms but deep beneath the salt and stone the ancient heart still sleeps [Pre-Chorus] And the wind now calls so softly through the darkened night [Chorus] Black sea under me cold wind speaking soft and low the earth remembers where we walked in the darkness I find light Ocean breathing deep in me stars are burning over us my heart becomes the living earth beneath a cold and endless sky [Instrumental Rise — bowed drones, choir swells] [Verse 2] Fire sleeping deep inside stone ancient dreams awaken slow northern lights above the empty mountains blue night opening like dawn I can hear the ocean call again not with anger but with grief like a mother who has never forgotten children lost inside the storm [Pre-Chorus] And the darkness breathes so slowly like a living sea [Chorus] Black sea under me cold wind speaking soft and low the earth remembers where we walked in the darkness I find light Ocean breathing deep in me stars are burning over us my heart becomes the living earth beneath a cold and endless sky [Final Crescendo — soaring, fragile] Ohhh— the ocean remembers Ohhh— the earth is waking still Ohhh— we are coming home beneath a cold and endless sky [Outro — fading into ambience] Black sea cold wind light in darkness
