Lyrics Whither Goest Thou - Nargaroth

Whither Goest Thou

Don’t cry my bealdam
Your lost son must go
I take your song with me
Your tears and your woe
So I’m drawn to the world
That’s neither strange nor home
And crave for tomorrow
And the paths that I’ll
Roam
I wander where stars fell
And sleep where they die
I dream where the norns sings
And where wise cranes fly
In depths of the oceans
My cursed name I hide
That no one may find it
And no woe betide
I see my grandam
That worried tears shed
Feel her withered hands
That laid on my head
I still hear her old voice
And the ol’russian song
That she sung to my heart
And i carried along
I harken to far cries
The tongue of despair
The language of sinners
All humans shall err!
I howl with the archwolves
In silvery night
The aegis of the north star
Sets our fate alight
Ah, linger on now
Oh' thou art so fair
Shalt purify my soul
In northern lights glare
Nero once burned down
What had to rebuild
And buried in madness
The ruins of guilt
We might burn
Our life path
And leave all behind
But what makes us sinners
Will stay in our mind
The essence of life
Means «if», as we know
This wisdom may decide
If we rule or bow below
I’ll tear off the cain’s mark
And drink from a sylph
At war with the world nor
At war with myself
