(©Varg Vikernes 1993)</p>

I wonder how winter will be<br>
with a spring that I shall never see<br>
I wonder how night will be<br>
with a day that I shall never see<br>
I wonder how life will be<br>
with a light that I shall never see<br>
I wonder how life will be<br>
with a pain that lasts eternally</p>

In every night there's a different black<br>
in every night I wish that I was back<br>
to the time when I rode<br>
through the forests of old</p>

In every winter there's a different cold<br>
in every winter I feel so old<br>
so very old as the night<br>
so very old as the dreadful cold</p>

I wonder how life will be<br>
with a death that I shall never see<br>
I wonder why life must be<br>
a life that lasts eternally<br>
I wonder how life will be<br>
with a death that I shall never see<br>
I wonder why life must be<br>
a life that lasts eternally</p>

<b><u>Comments</b></u><br>
While there are no Tolkienian references in this song, its structure is transparently modeled after Bilbo's song in Rivendell "I Sit Beside the Fire." The song title is given in German on the album cover (Erblicket die Töchter des Firmaments), but appears in English in the lyrics.</p>
