[Verse 1]
I dreamt I tidied up a house I know was torn down long ago
Where dust blows through the rooms
Behind every door is only death
I thought I heard in my solitude a sound of people from long ago
Hush, hear what they are talking about
Hush, blah-blah-blah-blah-blah
[Pre-Chorus]
The weight of everything we could have done differently is driving us crazy
We pass on
The certainty that everything will be destroyed in the nearest future
We pass on
[Chorus]
In a smoking ruin we are shadows among rocks
Disappearing like a breeze through the boughs of Yggdrasil
In a smoking ruin we are shadows among rocks
Disappearing like a breeze or worms among ferns
[Verse 2]
I dreamt I was conversing without words with those who had gone long ago
Where dust is blowing through the rooms
Behind every door is only death
I thought there was the roar of a choir of voices from a time long ago
Hush, hear what they're singing about
Hush, la-la-la-la-la
[Pre-Chorus]
The weight of everything we could have done differently is driving us crazy
We pass on
The certainty that everything will be destroyed in the nearest future
We pass on
[Chorus]
In a smoking ruin we are shadows among rocks
Disappearing like a breeze through the boughs of Yggdrasil
In a smoking ruin we are shadows among rocks
Disappearing like a breeze or worms among ferns
[Bridge]
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
Such as it was always meant to be, so it will be
[Pre-Chorus]
We couldn't have done anything differently
Life is in real time
We pass on
Nothing can be changed when you are beyond
Past the here and now
[Chorus]
In a smoking ruin we are shadows among rocks
Disappearing like a breeze through the boughs of Yggdrasil
In a smoking ruin we are shadows among rocks
Disappearing like a breeze or worms among ferns
[Refrain]
We pass on
We pass on
We pass on
We pass on
Thankfully
