Never saw death coming in your eyes
Never saw anything but death, reflected on me
It holds tight to me and don't let me go
It keeps on
I never saw it born in you
Never saw it prowling to me
It crawled to me like a scentless gas
It crawled...
Oh, since I'm terrified
Oh, since I'm rash
Oh, since I'm tormented
Awe takes charge
Oh, since I became a man
Oh, since courage grew in me
I've pierced through the fear
I've silenced death's call
Never found sickness in you
Never found a lack of spirit in you
I'm crazy, driving on the gravel out into the emptiness
Never saw death coming in your eyes
Never saw anything but death, reflected on me
It's beautiful to me, it mocks me
Oh, so crafty
I dreamed so often of rising from the rust
In the fjord I beheld anew
By the root of the mountains, and by the cure of the glacier
And woke a second time
Never saw death coming in your eyes
Never saw anything but death, reflected on me
It holds tight to me and don't let me go
It keeps on
