Tor Lundvall - Earth's Answer

Текст песни

Earth raised up her head
From the darkness dread & drear
Her light fled
Stony, dread
And her locks covered with grey despair
Prisoned on watery shore
Starry jealousy does keep my den
Cold and hoar;
Weeping o’er
I hear the father of the ancient men
Selfish father of men!
Cruel, jealous, selfish fear!
Can delight
Chained in night
The virgins of youth and morning bear
Does spring hide its joy
When buds and blossoms grow?
Dos the sower
Sow by night
Or the ploughman in darknss plough?
Break this heavy chain
That does freeze my bones around!
Selfish, vain
Eternal bane
That free love with bondage bound
