Guide for the Blind Songtext
von Thaurorod

I took pity on mortal men
He decreed that my torment would never end
I gave fire straight into your hand
And taught you to use it in cold winter land
I betrayed him for he was strong
I saw wonders, poetry and song
Loved and cherished those mortal men
And so I needed to guide them
Through the dawn of time

Once we stood together
Against your father′s war on us
Now our thoughts nevermore
Can find a mutual trail


Here I am chained to this mountain of carcasses
Each day the eagle it lands to eat my liver
Cold every night
How I wish for it all to end
Will these thoughts never cease?
Time is standing still, I'm chained
Waiting for salvation to kill me
My circle of torment begins again

Chained to the mountain carcasses
Suffering all the wrath of truth
Trampled on mountain carcasses
No mortal child can understand

Suddenly an arrow sprang
Through the sky closing in on its prey
The dying eagle lies on the ground
I am set free, this I cannot believe
But still the curse of the truth
Is upon me forevermore
And now the mankind is sick and diseased
But not without hope

She was the maid of our unkind
Her fate would be intertwined with mine

Here I am chained to this mountain of carcasses
Each day the eagle it lands to eat my liver
Cold every night
How I wish for it all to end


Chained to the mountain carcasses
Suffering all the wrath of truth
Trampled on mountain carcasses
No mortal child can understand
No mortal child can understand

Once he came as the fire of gods
Since he could not deny his own heart
The pain he felt for us tore through the night
He suffered it all alone, guide for the blind
