Vetrar Draugurinn - Our Lady of Perpetual Emptiness

I whisper sweet words into the darkness
Shelter her from the dawn
Harbour her from those without sadness until there were none

Are you still here? Can you give me a sign?
I haven't heard your voice in such a long time
I need guidance, answers, solace
I do my best to persevere, I promise
Are you still here? Give me a sign

But sometimes the outlook seems just so bleak
and strong gestures cannot mask the meek
Clutching at straws to make it seem like I'm fine
Can I please hear your voice one last time?

Our Lady of Perpetual Emptiness
Towering high above us all
Hold on to the gathering sadness
Melancholy shadow reaching far
No one can escape your stanglehold
Eclipse our sun and soul

I whisper sweet words into the darkness
Shelter here from the dawn
Strip away layers of happiness
Until there are none
