A Thousand Rivers

Music by Austrheim & Helgesen Lyrics by Helgesen

Thousands of years have passed
Still we do not know
O tell me, please, tell me
what lies beyond our comprehension

We are nothing but autumn leaves
swirling in the circles of time
Haunted by the shadow in our past

Time won't sweep away
our deepest scars of memories
It will carry them along eternally

Betrayed by the enigma of existence
Yet, we admire this insignificance
O shameful, pathethic

Listen carefully
to the sound of an evening breeze
And the sound of a thousand rivers
struggling towards the sea

But all is so dead and silent
Wel, this way it's got to be
