Hymn to the Lone Sands Songtext
von Leaves’ Eyes

Han ha′ har som silkitrad
Auga bla som hau
Den dagen gloymer eg allri
Eg ut af uindanga sag deg der sta
Eg gloymer allri deg
Eg gloymer allri deg

Tempt the winds
Break the waves

That ravished place
Mysterious maze
Lone sands swallow men
Traces annihilated

Nothing in my hands can break this stony ground
This blackness of the days
Imprints in me a disillusion

Bless the men with silver
Bless them with the rays of sun
Goddess of the desert
Sway your veils for pagan men


Mighty rivers driving
(From the north)
Tempting reverie
(To lone sands)

Bless the men with silver
Bless them with the rays of sun
Goddess of the desert
Sway your veils for pagan men

He's gone and away
No need to unsay
Far-off oceans swallow men
Longboats annihilated

Nothing underneath my feet until turn to fertile soil
This coldness of the nights bewitched me with a disillusion

Bless the men with silver
Bless them with the rays of sun
Goddess of the desert
Sway your veils for pagan men

Mighty rivers driving
(From the north)
Tempting reverie
(To lone sands)


Bless the men with silver
Bless them with the rays of sun
Goddess of the desert
Sway your veils for pagan men

Mighty rivers driving
Tempting reverie
Love to see marvel
Dancing eerily

Tempt the winds
Break the waves

We set sail
To lone sands

Bless the men with silver
Bless them with the rays of sun
Goddess of the desert
Sway your veils for pagan men

Bless the men with silver
Bless them with the rays of sun
Goddess of the desert
Sway your veils for pagan men

Mighty rivers driving
Tempting reverie
Love to see marvel
Dancing eerily

To lone sands
