ill-starred son - insomnium lyrics
[verse 1]
her dirge still echoes in these woods
mourning lingers in the vales
as the wind cries on the sh0r-
her wailing can be heard
mirthless is this wandering
through hallow days
like a pale ghost
i waste away in this foul world
[pre-chorus]
what sin do i atone for
in this dreadful way
why the gods sneer at me
as i keep writhing in pain
[chorus]
where has my dearest gone to
where sings now my maiden fair
beneath the darksome waters
underneath the moonlit waves
where is our ill-starred son
where lies our poor stillborn child
below the silent mound
in the arms of sacred earth
[verse 2]
she became weary of the world
tired of this marred life
burdened with sorrow far too deep
a pain impossible to bear
there is no light at the end
of this blackened path
calm again are the sullen
waters before me
[pre-chorus]
what sin do i atone for
in this dreadful way
why the gods sneer at me
as i keep writhing in pain
[chorus]
where has my dearest gone to
where sings now my maiden fair
beneath the darksome waters
underneath the moonlit waves
where is our ill-starred son
where lies our poor stillborn child
below the silent mound
in the arms of sacred earth
[outro]
if gods shall hearken to me
fate will be benign
i leave these woes behind
depart from these cares
for we shall be reunited
on the other side
i descend to my love
and caress her forevermore
