A Ghost and a Promise Songtext
von Keldian

once outside the city walls I headed for the hills
no laconic wit could help me now
trudging through the desolation, in the swirling mist
all was suddenly clear...

adrift in the wind
I have a ghost to kill

following the river, step by step I upped the pace
failing to outrun the haunting guilt
lies of all these men of honor ringing in my ears,
I could never return...

adrift in the wind
I have a ghost to kill

passing over mountains, icy rock under my feet
never saw a soul or heard a sound
down into the gloomy valley, to the silent fjord,
there a specter appeared...


adrift in the wind
I have a ghost to kill
afloat on the waves
I have a promise to keep

the north sea has come home
empty barrels, the future′s gone
the arctic ocean has been sown
we're reapers of the whirlwind blown

adrift in the wind
we have a ghost to kill
afloat on the waves
we have a promise to keep
all that went before
we have a ghost to kill
what never came to be
a ghost to kill and a promise to keep

the north sea has come home
