Sámr - Ihsahn

Gently lay my head against the wall and listen

For the footsteps, outside, to fade out and disappear

Hold my breath, a pause suspended dust in silence

Exhale, relief, that’s one less enemy

Or a saviour lost

I threw my eyes

So far into the void

A wager for the blind

I threw my eyes

So far into the void

Hours after hours

Waiting for the emptiness

To cultivate the night

The emptiness

Will soon deliver, soon deliver

Emptiness

A serenade to revelation

Emptiness will soon deliver me

Softly run my hands across the ground beneath me

Any trace of fabricated pride is washed away

Turn my faceless head against the raining skies

The dignity and power of this solitude

I am here to stay

I threw my eyes

So far into the void

Now all I see if you

I threw my eyes

So far into the void

And now I know

Now I know

Emptiness

Will cultivate the night

The emptiness

Will soon deliver, soon deliver

Emptiness

A serenade to revelation

Emptiness

Will soon deliver me
