Where The Runes Still Speak - Lyrics by Candlemass


Lyrics
Rain and thunder, fire and windcome with me, I leave with the tide
I wrap my coat closer 'round my shouldersto keep me warm from the raging storm
The spirits are here to guide my journeyover the edge of the world
A thousand wounds cry in my soullove and pain, a bleeding heart WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK I'M COMING HOME WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK
Alone I stand on this stony coastwinds of spring whisper through the trees
The grey horizon gives me life againice and stone, the voices of the gods
No woman can show me where the fire burnsno preacher can tell me who I am
My blood is calling me from Asaland
I'm on my way home in the end WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK I'M COMING HOME WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAKA homeward son will claim his heritage
Walk the soil of his earth
The pen will be his mighty swordand the truth his defense
I've traveled roads that lead to wonder
I've seen cities rise and fall
The burden, the cross of a pilgrim
I bear no more, the son is coming home WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK I'M COMING HOME WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK
You closed the door, but I won't give insomewhere a new life will begin
Countless treasures I shared with youthe only one left is my solitude WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK I'M COMING HOME WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK
