A Distant Flame Before The Sun

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see
I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know
I sit beside the fire and think
Of older times that were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at my door
On high above the mists I came
A distant flame before the sun
A wonder ere the waking dawn
Where grey the nordlands waters run
In elder days and years of yore
…Now behold the awful price of treason… (repeat)
…Through dreams I influence mankind… (repeat)
