Shadows Of The Sun

Ulver Shadows Of The Sun Lyrics
1.What Happened?

Out of nothing

I understand
Who I am

I think

I have been
Here before

I know

What you have done
To the world

Your face

It is in your hands
Like everything

Crying

What happened
To us here


2.Vigil

For those
Who used to be
And now are
In the dark
Light a candle

And say their name
One last time
Let them go

We will follow
When time comes
To pray for life
To begin again

To eternity

A flower will open
On the grave


3.Shadows Of The Sun

The shadows

Shadows
Of the dead

In the silence

In the night
Close your eyes
And see the stars

The shadows
And tremors
Of the sun


4.Like Music

I want you
To tell me
Who you are
In your dreams
Who is there?
And is it beautiful?

Like music

Do you know
If it is a word
Is it love?
Does it hurt?
Deep inside

Like music

Can you hear it?
It is fading


5.Funebre

There is a circle
Around the cross

A flight of steps
Into the earth

A black hole

A string of music
Hung from a willow

Weeping

Over the wood
And the bones

Burning

In memory of
A missing person

An angel

A flight of ravens
Into the sunset


6.Eos

The sun is far away
It goes in circles
Someone dies
Someone lives
In pain
It is burning
Into the thin air
Of the nature
Of a culture
On the dark side
Under the moon
The wolves gather


7.All The Love

We fear the things
We do not understand
The powers
Of good
And evil
Of the world

The past
The future
The promises
The folly
Of those who died
For nothing

Leaving their wives
And their children
For love
The only thing
That makes us human

The past
The future
The promises
The folly of those who died


8.Let The Children Go

We hold each other
In the dead of night
And the end begins
When innocence dies
In their eyes
Asking us why
Must they die
And live
And love
And life goes on

After the sun sets
The time to sleep
Without dreams
We have nothing


9.Solitude


My name it means nothing
my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I possessed - Now they are gone

Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away

The world is a lonely place - you're on your own
Guess I will go home - sit down and moan.
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you
