Jettegryta Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The quiet forest
Before man came
A secret time before time
Giants’ steps thunder
Upon the mossy ground
Carving a hole
In ageless stone
[Pre-Chorus]
The fallen
Barren walls
No escaping this
[Chorus]

I will not return
Found no solace within
My darkened shrine
[Verse 2]
A quiet pulse
Impossibly far below
The wavelength of gateways
Markings felt deep
Instinctively alert
For the work to be done
Maps to the abyss
[Chorus]
I will not return
Found no solace within
My darkened shrine
[Verse 3]
Words dissolved
Voices of eternity
No longer divided
Everything burns
Out of the dark
Reshaped existence
In the shadow fields
Reshaped existence
In the shadow fields
