Wither - Ofdrykkja

I was surrounded by darkness

Embraced by darkness

So darkness I became

And I evaporated into the eternal night sky

Like a milk-white haze

I was surrounded by grey

Embraced by grey

And the great void I saw before my eyes

Was engulfed in thick black smoke

I was surrounded by white

Embraced by white

And my bleeding heart

Painted these snow-covered plains in the deepest red

I was surrounded by nothingness

Embraced by nothingness

All alone on the ground I lay

And nothingness I became

But in my mind you sat beside me

Forever holding my hand;

Silently watching me wither away
