Moonsorrow - Child Of Oblivion lyrics

A broken sword in my hand,

a trail of blood on my chest.

Just an empty scabbard trampled to the ground

will follow as I leave again.

The enemy has been slain,

the invincible defeated.

A fear is gnawing my rough-hewn flesh.

The icy piercing wind

my name is carried upon.

Blood o' so red, it draws

a mark on the frozen ground.

And rime is climbing

the mountainside.

As if awaiting its time to come

a solitary eagle stays still.

Yet the wind is changing again,

embracing the dead and eroding what is stone.

The woods are silent

and the clouds are gone.

Through the steam of my breath

all I see is turning ice.

Just the icy piercing wind

my name is carried upon.

And then it becomes clear

what part here is mine.

And sky is strangling

the mountainside.

With no fear in his eyes

the one with wings is watching.

Alone against the wind

the battlefield orphan now stands.

The forest of spears is growing

on the red skyshore.

That rage like thunderstorm

tears the humbling lines.

Wolves from the house of death

now grant the final breath.

Alone against the wind

the child of slaughter now stands.

No, the old man speaks no words

and only the vultures may tell his tale.

Into the soil buried

the shards of untiring iron.

At the journey's end nothing is to remain.

Still the icy piercing wind

my name is carried upon.

The mark on the frozen ground

will vanish into time.

And rime is climbing

the mountainside.

As if awaiting its time to come

a solitary eagle stays still.

Wings they are torn but claws are ready

to face what might be the end.

And dark is strangling

the world of war.

With no fear in his eyes

the one with sight is watching.
