Unsung — Insomnium

Beneath a silent stone In cold caress of the earth Where timeless sleep reigns Where world is but a distant toll

No stars shine, no moon roams No sun broods, no winds blow No tunes chime amidst the bones No prayers for the devil's own

Night falls and dawn breaks again Autumns and winters slowly pass And all these earthly tremors But a remembrance for me

Mine is this forgotten song Buried deep and heard no more Mine is this unhallowed sleep Deathless wait under the trees

All the years in vain I fought All my deeds have gone to nought Unsung is the tale of mine Mislaid till the end of time

Hidden deep under the vale of moon Entombed beneath the white flowers of death

Only the frail words Written in the stone Retell my name anymore

Only the frail words Written in the stone Recall my days anymore
