There I Would Like to Rest Forever

from Troldhaugen E​.​P. by Troldhaugen

lyrics

On the shores of Lake Nordas, an old man gathers fish.
The lake’s wisdom and beauty, causes him to reminisce
He recalls a time, when a different man he’d been,
For the things he has witnessed, cannot be unseen.

His life will soon cease, but still his path bends
And he’s finding it hard to accept his life's end.
In his state, the lake calls, but to answer, he can’t,
so he sets off and sails on the numinous tarn.

The asunder words he hears, and rise from the deep
The sound bears such beauty; he tries hard not to weep.

“Your time is near, to rest your soul,
you shall not fear, I beg you- heed my call”.

As the Sun’s rays mark the end of the day
Our friend sees the lake has shown him the way.
He stares with great awe, at the frail dancing light,
As it comes halt on a far mountain side

“Your time is near, to rest your soul,
you shall not fear, I beg you- heed my call”.

The site that he sees brings peace to his heart
To return to the shore, he prepares to depart
The strain of life’s strings became painless to sever
as he says to himself; “There I would like to rest forever…”
