Mark Avison - Sidueldur Lyrics

There's many a saga and tale to be told
Of bloodshed and battles once fought long ago
Our island of glaciers, mountains and snow
Meet heaven and hell on the land far below
Cold rain blown across oceans and mountains and continents

Our story is cast on the third day of June
The mountain is torn in the late afternoon
The black breath of demons, of fire and of flame
The devil himself all our lives come to claim
Cold rain blown across oceans and mountains and continents

The sheep and the cattle lie dead in the fields
And smoky blue water a poison conceals
Our children are drowned in the cold light of day
And shadows are cast across silent decay
Cold rain blown across oceans and mountains and continents

There's no one to save us, there's no one to see
The death on the mountain the death on the breeze
There's no one to save us, the gods justified
For ever remember the day the dance died
Cold rain blown across oceans and mountains and continents
Síðueldur

And over the far lands the sun wears a veil
The leaves turn to brown and the harvests they fail
How mighty are fallen, how innocent weep
A new revolution the promises keep
Cold rain blown across oceans and mountains and continents
