[7:10]
|
|
Teach me the tongue of fire,
|
so that I may set the world ablaze.
|
For it is cold,
|
and this blindness can no longer give me shelter.
|
Teach me the tongue of fire,
|
so that I may cry out loud my wrath
|
and my passion,
|
or else my coil will blister and decay.
|
|
[Guitar lead: Ihsahn]
|
|
The tongue of fire.
|
|
The soul is never silent,
|
but wordless, held imprisoned in a cursed tomb,
|
wherein reflections never fade, never die.
|
Slowly maddened by (the) emptiness.
|
|
[Guitar lead: Ihsahn]
|
|
Left to perish in the ever-dark coil.
|
Yet, always alert it its slumber.
|
Scorned by the drops of light
|
piercing through the surface,
|
and it screams.
|
|
The soul is never silent,
|
but wordless.
|
|
Teach me the tongue of fire,
|
so that I may set the world ablaze.
|
For it is cold,
|
and this blindness can no longer give me shelter.
|
Teach me the tongue of fire,
|
so that I may cry out loud my wrath
|
and my passion,
|
or else my coil will blister and decay.
