Tracklist

• 1. In the Sadness of Their Homes (07:07)
   copy

  Their shadows burn against the sun.
  Their horses run, their horses run.
  Acidic oceans bountiful.
  The trees are ripe with rotten fruit.
  
  In the sadness of their homes,
  they shout into the cracks in the walls.
  You can hear it in their songs;
  the sadness of their homes.
  
  They feel it in their bones,
  they sing of a future past and gone.
  They weave it into songs;
  the sadness of their homes.
  
  Dark structures
  Stretch heavenward,
  thick are the clouds
  that cloak the mountain tops.
  
  Structures of steel,
  basalt towers.
  Thick are the clouds
  that cloak our minds
  
  In the sadness of our homes,
  we shout into the cracks in the walls.
  You can hear it in our songs;
  the sadness of our homes.
  
  The fires in their bones will guide them home.
  The sadness in their songs will then be gone.
• 2. Words of Creation (06:22)
   copy

  There, in the corner of existence
  you are hidden,
  although you shine.
  Illuminate this habitat,
  you are felt like the wind.
  
  Silent voices in the air
  sing the words of creation.
  Like the tides of the sea,
  they are felt as the waves.
  
  The path seems long
  for you have stalled,
  but ask for nothing
  and receive all.
  
  As the sun rises here
  it sets there,
  equal in its splendor.
• 3. Allt sem áður heilagt var (05:36)
   copy

  Allt sem aður heilagt var
  er horfið, er grafið. En hvar?
  
  Heðan sleppur enginn!
  Þeir deyja sem reyna!
  
  Þeir deyja sem að reyna,
  en þeir reyna það samt
  þo þeir komist ekki i burtu.
  Og þeir reyna og þeir reyna,
  og þeir reyna svo margt,
  en þeir eru alltaf fastir
  
  Hefurðu seð þa þramma
  afram, aftur og fram?
  Seð þa mara i sælu og sorg?
  Eins og is i halfu kafi.
  
  Hefurðu seð
  þorra þeirra eigingjornu gjorða?
  
  Horfið, grafið, brennt og skemmt og eyðilagt!
  
  Allt er glatað!
• 4. Ocean of Dreams (07:08)
   copy

  She sits by the sea
  because he is out there
  His gaze, distant and cold,
  she is veiled in sorrow.
  
  How big are the oceans?
  How far can you drift?
  Her heart is an inland sea
  where he has set his sails
  
  His mind the Arctic Ocean
  For her to weather the storms.
  Who tends the fire?
  Who shines a light?
  High in the frozen mountains
  above the sleeping lands that see no light.
  They wade the waves,
  the waves of time
  
  I fall into your eyes,
  deep inside the skies,
  Show no fear and dive,
  for you!
