Original lyrics
A Forest
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Hlífða ek mér þá eigi
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Síðan vaknaða ek
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Hlífða ek mér þá eigi
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Síðan vaknaða ek
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Hlífða ek mér þá eigi
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Síðan vaknaða ek
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Hlífða ek mér þá eigi
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Síðan vaknaða ek
Suddenly I stop
But I know it’s too late
I’m lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It’s always the same
I’m running towards nothing
Again and again and again…
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Hlífða ek mér þá eigi
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Síðan vaknaða ek
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Hlífða ek mér þá eigi
Ek sá þat er þú satt eigi
Síðan vaknaða ek

A Forest
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I saw something you couldn’t see
I did not shield myself then
I saw something you couldn’t see
Then I woke up
I saw something you couldn’t see
I did not shield myself then
I saw something you couldn’t see
Then I woke up
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
I saw something you couldn’t see
I did not shield myself then
I saw something you couldn’t see
Then I woke up
I saw something you couldn’t see
I did not shield myself then
I saw something you couldn’t see
Then I woke up
Suddenly I stop
But I know it’s too late
I’m lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It’s always the same
I’m running towards nothing
Again and again and again…
I saw something you couldn’t see
I did not shield myself then
I saw something you couldn’t see
Then I woke up
I saw something you couldn’t see
I did not shield myself then
I saw something you couldn’t see
Then I woke up
