Emperor - Of Blindness & Subsequent Seers lyrics

[Music: Ihsahn, Samoth] [Lyrics: Ihsahn] Ever behind me Rise a shadow Taller than I Yet, with a certain resemblance How many times Do I have to contemplate my own reflection And say; I have been blind? I have been blind Yet, I saw the search and dreams Of my rejection Walking behind me Every time I am bound to have been granted The gift of better sight But my anxiety Built one more brick Fearing again To choose the wrong step Vaguely I remember The blurred eyes Of someone small These strangers often come as blind A troubled mind I left behind Yet, was it I Of my shadow Walking in the past?
