[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
Do you remember your home?
Fruit that shimmers like gold
Blossoms, like flaming fire
In your garden they grow
All the corals and pearls
At the heart of the world
All the castles of amber
Await your return
[Verse 2: Charlotte Wessels]
Little sister
The sun is sleeping
Come with me before
Crimson fills the air
Every creature below
Is weeping for your fate
So take my hand now
[Chorus: Charlotte Wessels]
Will you take this dagger from me
Sweet sister
Don't linger
Come on into the water
'Cause our blood runs deepеr
And I miss you
[Verse 3: Myrkur]
See this knife, it is sharp
Plunge it into his heart
Sеnd his soul to the heavens
Far above the stars
Shed no tears over him
Guilt and sorrow don't swim
Once you dance on the waves
You will find love
[Chorus: Myrkur, Charlotte Wessels & Simone Simons]
Will you take this dagger from me
Sweet sister
Don't linger
Come on into the water
'Cause our blood runs deeper
And I miss you
Will you take this dagger from me
Sweet sister
Don't linger
Come on into the water
'Cause our blood runs deeper
And I miss you
[Bridge: Simone Simons & Myrkur]
So handsome in his salt sailor skin
Bathe in the sea, like a child living free
Tonight I dance and laugh at defeat
A dying heart, bleeding feet
I'll return to the sea
[Outro: Myrkur, Charlotte Wessels & Simone Simons]
We are the sisters of the sea
Inside the waters we are free
You ride the currents of my tears
(Will you take this dagger from me
Sweet sister)
As our goodbye is drawing near
(Don't linger)
We are the children of the sky
(Come on into the water
'Cause our blood runs deeper)
Come earn a soul that never dies
(And I miss you)
