[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?
