Lyrics
[sorrowful clean vocals]
(oooOOOooo) ...A light flickers
(aaaaaahhhh) ...A light dies
We all hold a candle (ooOOoooo)
(ooh ooh), We all keep one alight....
[sorrowful clean vocals]
(oooOOOhhhh) No longer can we stay here
We fear what's left behind.
(oooOOOhhhh) No river there to greet us
Time... Time is always so unkind
(So fast, so cruel, so hungry)
It's spinning round and round
We're riding on the wave...
And in the end we feel betrayed
[female vocals]
For all time (OOoooo)
Will you be there when it's over? (time will tell)
[male vocals]
(oooOOOooo) Spinning round and round
(ooh ooh) Can a real truth ever be found?
[female vocals]
Is there no more time?
Can I please rewind?
...I feel the twilight
(oooOOOooo) There's no one left to fight...
(oooOOOooo) All vestiges took flight....
(oooOOOOO) Can we find another light?
[female vocals]
Without our sight?
[rising saxophones]
(Oooohhh-oh oh ooooo) Destiny
(ooOOOooo) Will you find me?
(ooOOooo) You were always right behind me!
Travelers adrift (oooOOooo)
We can never mend this rift
If you told me why, I don't think I could bear the truth.
Beyond the night through trodden skies, like ships passing in the night...
Passing in the night...
[Ulver vocals]
(oooOOOooo)
Like ships passing by
Only for a moment, sharing candlelight (oh oh oh)
(oooOOOooo) Such sad design
(oooOOOooo) But we feel reverie, inside
Riding on this wave of time
Twirling round and round again
Swirling down the drain
We know now we shall never meet again...
[clean male vocals]
oooOOOooo (never meet again, never meet again)
Never mend this rift (we shall never meet again)
A lighthouse in the sky
Guiding travelers by...
This lonely island (lonely island lonely island)
[sad saxophone solo]
[clean sorrowful male vocals]
(oooOOOooo) (in the sky, in the sky)
(oooOOOooo) (guiding travelers by)
[sad saxophone outro]
