LyricMeaning

The Ill-Starred Son
Insomnium

Her dirge still echoes in these woods,

mourning lingers in the vales

As the wind cries on the shore,

her wailing can be heard


Mirthless is this wandering through hollow days

Like a pale ghost I waste away in this foul world


What sin do I atone for in this dreadful way

Why the gods sneer at me as I keep writhing in pain


Where has my dearest gone to

Where sings now my maiden fair

Beneath the darksome waters

Underneath the moonlit waves


Where is our ill-starred son

Where lies our poor stillborn child

Below the silent mound

In the arms of sacred earth


She became weary of the world, tired of this marred life

Burdened with sorrow far too deep, the pain impossible to bear


There is no light at the end of this blackened path

Calm again are the sullen waters before me


If gods shall hearken to me, fate with be benign

I leave these woes behind, depart from these cares

For we shall be reunited on the other side

I descend to my love and caress her forevermore
