rain and thunder fire and wind come with me i leave with the tide i wrap my coat closer round my shoulders to keep me warm from the raging storm the spirits are here to guide my journey over the end of the world a thousand wounds cry in my soul love and pain a bleeding heart where the runes still speak i m coming home where the runes still speak alone i stand on this stony coast winds of spring whisper through the trees the grey horizon gives me life again ice and stone the voices of the gods no woman can show me where the fire burns no preacher can tell me who i am my blood is calling me from asaland i m on my way home in the end where the runes still speak i m coming home where the runes still speak a homeward son will claim his heritage walk the soil of his earth the pen will be his mighty sword and the truth his defence  i ve travelled roads that lead to wonder i ve seen cities rise and fall the burden the cross of a pilgrim i bear no more the son is coming home where the runes still speak as i m coming home where the runes still speak you closed the door but i won t give in somewhere my new life will begin countless treasures i shared with you the only one left is my solitude where the runes still speak as i m coming home where the runes still speak as i m coming home where the runes still speak as i m coming home where the runes still speak as i m coming home
