Spøkilsir / Revenants Lyrics by Eivør

Í kolamyrkri
krúpa tey fram
skelvandi skepilsir
eitt bínandi fylgi
við mína song
friðleys spøkilsir

Tey kvøða
í náttini
fornar vísur
um alt ið fór framvið

Vágar tú tær at
stara heilt inn
í myrkrið sum býr í mær
tað dálkaða
tað ófullkomna
ið spríkir fram tá eingin sær

Tey kvøða
í náttini
tornar vísur
um alt ið koma skal

Vís mær tíni spøkilsir
heilt har inni
har ivin krøkir seg fastan
Vís mær hvør tú ert
tínar tankar
Sig mær hvat er tað
sum tú saknar
tá tú toyggir teg longri enn tú røkkur
tá tú elskar so heitt at hjartað støkkur
Vís mær hvør tú ert
eg vil fevna alt

Revenants

In the twilight gloom
they’re on the prowl
spectral shapeshifters
a dead-eyed swarm
encircles my bed
restless revenants

They sing to me
in the hushed dusk
ancient ballads
of all that came to pass

Are you brave enough to
gaze straight at
the darkness inside of me
the tattered shreds
my tarnished parts
the darkness no one else sees

They sing to me
in the hushed dusk
ancient ballads
of what will come to pass

Show me the ghosts that haunt you
roam your heart of hearts
where doubt is always on the prowl
Show me who you are
all the jumbled thoughts
Tell me what it is
you’re yearning for
when you stretch beyond the limits of your reach
when you love so fiercely that your heart breaks
Show me who you are
let me hold it all
