[Lyrics: Ihsahn] 


Four eyes as two in one 
The forward circular view 
That never ends 
An orbital voyage 
Throughout the endless sphere of all 
Where time is lost and everything transcends 


A graceful presence 
At stolen time 


As ghosts to the world 
Ghosts to the world 


For ice, outside, are we apart 
As cold and eerie mist to the hand 
Ever floating on its course 
Towards the heights of shadowland 


Thus appear the truly sworn 


To be seen 
To be feared 
Yet, not to be reached 


Four eyes as two in one 
Thus appear the truly sworn 
As ghosts to the world 
Thus appear the truly sworn 
For ice outside, are we apart 
Thus appear the truly sworn 
Cold and eerie mist. Burning 
Thus appear the truly sworn 


A graceful presence 
At stolen time 


Thus appear the truly sworn
