My Home
English source:

Waters that race
Rivers that foam
This is the place
I call my home
Towering cliffs
Timeless and strong
This is the land,
Where I belong
Just as a wave follows every wave
My endless weeping will last till the grave
Weeping on weeping
Will last, will last till the grave
Weeping on weeping will last till the grave
Just like the ceaseless wind in the trees
There’s no reprieve for my miseries
Just like the ceaseless wind in the trees
There’s no reprieve for my miseries
There’s no reprieve for my miseries
And like the mountain’s unchanging core
My endless pain will last evermore
My endless torment
Lasts for evermore
My endless pain will last evermore
Waters that race
Rivers that foam
This is the place
I call my home
Towering cliffs
Timeless and strong
This is the land,
Where I belong
Rivers that foam
This is the place
I call my home
Towering cliffs
Timeless and strong
This is the land,
Where I belong
Just as a wave follows every wave
My endless weeping will last till the grave
Weeping on weeping
Will last, will last till the grave
Weeping on weeping will last till the grave
Just like the ceaseless wind in the trees
There’s no reprieve for my miseries
Just like the ceaseless wind in the trees
There’s no reprieve for my miseries
There’s no reprieve for my miseries
And like the mountain’s unchanging core
My endless pain will last evermore
My endless torment
Lasts for evermore
My endless pain will last evermore
Waters that race
Rivers that foam
This is the place
I call my home
Towering cliffs
Timeless and strong
This is the land,
Where I belong
