Got a maid from the lands of north A wife from lands of strange The work of gods was at last replaced By days and nights of men She wakes beside me She stands by me She stares at our sky She lives our lives In the beginning of all time the sounds of war I sanctified for work Cries of terror harmonized to a song Spirits of wrath restrained And now dead is my wife Ripped apart by iron teeth Slashed by the claws of steel The ancient venom surfaced again She lies in the ground She's gone from me She stares without eyes She stares at me Poisoned by the bane of riches Betrayed by lies manifold Slain by avenger The ancient venom turned the course of fate She woke beside me She stood by me She stared at our sky And lived our life
