Eric The Red

(album: Eric The Red - 2003)

Why I take refuge here
My father was outlawed from the old land in east
A story of bloodshed and I too was outlawed
Now I take refuge here

What brings you here my friend
What brings you north to where Hell is of ice
South from the sand dunes where Hell is of fire
Why have you come so far
Anywhere, you don't care where you go

As long as there are faithless
You can make believe need help
And that you have the cure of your intentions, I'm sure
I can't bring it all to reason
You've convinced these people
That all their ancestors were wrong
Disoriented, they do not know where they belong
Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone
Both sides waging war will be for one true divinity

Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone
Both sides waging war will be raging
In the name of one true divinity

This I don't understand
Why this perverted superhuman ideal
So we are born to nothing
But torture and torment, that, I don't understand

Clearly I see the end, I pray that the embers
Will persist from my faith
Clearly I'm outnumbered, allegedly outdated
Since your arrival here
Anywhere, you don't care where you go

As long as there are faithless
You can make believe need help
And that you have the cure, of your intentions, I'm sure
I can't bring it all to reason
You've convinced these people that all
Their ancestors were wrong
Disoriented, they do not know where they belong

Like a virus you'll go on, and when I'm dead and gone
Both sides waging war will be for one true divinity
Just convert the whole wide world
Into the abyss we are hurled
Sentenced, come end of the world
Spare me your self-righteous word
