Still I bear the flowers of pain, of solitude
And still I bear the flowers
The flowers of solitude
♪
And on the mountain's side
Grim-looking gate lies
Staring towards the north
Waiting in solitude
♪
Barring the way inside
The giant doors of stone
Not built for mortal men
Not made for us to pass
♪
Vile trick of ornery gods?
Rewards and riches
Right here within our reach
Not within our grasp
I walk with my head down
Wind blows right through my waning heart
Weightless, like a bird in my arms
She looks into the bottom of my soul
♪
Grave tidings from the northside
Grave is the tone of this night
Weightsome the dark around us
The weight of time upon us
♪
No one will sing tonight
No one will leave the pyre
Dreaming of gloden wolf
Dreading the winter's might

Vile trick of ornery gods?
