Where The Runes Still Speak Lyrics - Chapter Vi - Candlemass

Rain and thunder, fire and wind 

come with me, I leave with the tide 

I wrap my coat closer 'round my shoulders 

to keep me warm from the raging storm 

The spirits are here to guide my journey 

over the edge of the world 

A thousand wounds cry in my soul 

love and pain, a bleeding heart 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK 

I'M COMING HOME 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK 

Alone I stand on this stony coast 

winds of spring whisper through the trees 

The grey horizon gives me life again 

ice and stone, the voices of the gods 

No woman can show me where the fire burns 

no preacher can tell me who I am 

My blood is calling me from Asaland 

I'm on my way home in the end 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK 

I'M COMING HOME 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK 

A homeward son will claim his heritage 

Walk the soil of his earth 

The pen will be his mighty sword 

and the truth his defense 

I've traveled roads that lead to wonder 

I've seen cities rise and fall 

The burden, the cross of a pilgrim 

I bear no more, the son is coming home 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK 

I'M COMING HOME 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK 

You closed the door, but I won't give in 

somewhere a new life will begin 

Countless treasures I shared with you 

the only one left is my solitude 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK 

I'M COMING HOME 

WHERE THE RUNES STILL SPEAK
