Original lyrics
Havenless
"Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak låg brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid
Dei såg, såg stormar I det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Frå tidleg mot seint"
I see a darkness overwhelming
I see that there is no light for me
I don't care if it leaves me blind
I don't care if I'm left behind
I see a white horse's head
I see it's dead stare fixed at me
I do not fear it's eyes
Curse myself, return it twice
I see walls to high to climb
I see nothing on the other side
I should have roamed another space
I should have been another place
"Dei daude gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land.
Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi"
I am among ghosts when I should rest
I cannot tell the worlds apart
I do not heed the words they say
There is no dream of another day
I hear a silence, deafening
Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny
I no longer wish to see
The threads they've spun for me.
"Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak låg brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid
Dei såg, såg stormar I det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Frå tidleg mot seint"

Havenless
"They travelled from north
Towards another age
Behind layed burned words
Before them a new struggle
They saw, saw storms in the distant
But held forwards and straight
In towards earth's core
From early to late"
I see a darkness overwhelming
I see that there is no light for me
I don't care if it leaves me blind
I don't care if I'm left behind
I see a white horse's head
I see it's dead stare fixed at me
I do not fear it's eyes
Curse myself, return it twice
I see walls to high to climb
I see nothing on the other side
I should have roamed another space
I should have been another place
"The dead grows up from the ocean and screams so sore toward land.
They scream behind all ships, that flounder itself past heavily"
I am among ghosts when I should rest
I cannot tell the worlds apart
I do not heed the words they say
There is no dream of another day
I hear a silence, deafening
Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny
I no longer wish to see
The threads they've spun for me.
"They travelled from north
Towards another age
Behind layed burned words
Before them a new struggle
They saw, saw storms in the distant
But held forwards and straight
In towards earth's core
From early to late"
