Swallowed by the Night Lyrics by Ofdrykkja

Gryningsvisor

2019

I was dying in the moss
I was sick and I was lost
In the forests of black rain
I had almost gone insane
Someone heard my desperate cries
A spirit in a wolf's disguise
He took me through the forest deep
As my body fell asleep
(Sung as the last part)
[I was sinking in the sea
Until darkness swallowed me
And the water filled my chest
As the pressure crushed me
I was taken by the streams
Away from my lonely dreams
Then on the bottom of the ocean
I was freed from all emotion]
I was running from a fire
I ran through woods and over mire
Through thick smoke and dark terrain
I just couldn't embrace the pain
As I ran the fire spread
Until all was burnt and dead
Then in the ashes of my shell
Something new began to dwell
In my shade no flowers bloomed
I was cursed and I was doomed
But what falls will also land
Mother nature took my hand
Pain to strength and tears to gold
I grew wiser as I grew old
And out of any dead remains
Flowers grow and new life reigns
