Ihsahn - The Eagle and the Snake lyrics

I crawl through mud and secrecy To reach the edge of sanity And fall... through cleansing air Clashing down into the sea We - between the eagle and the snake Beyond what is real and what is fake Between the eagle and the snake The walls come down Embrace the pain of this profound affliction And yearn the sting, the serpent's tranquil kiss Just sow and reap the gifts of liberation To reach the shore and do it all again It is night, now, do all leaping fountains speak louder And my soul, too, is a leaping fountain It is night: Only now do all songs of lovers awaken And my soul too is the song of a lover We - between the eagle and the snake Beyond what is real and what is fake Between the eagle and the snake The walls come down
