lyrics

Har du sett melodienes engel som spiller mot havet
Stanse vinden og bølgene som slår mot kysten

One hundred suns
Will slip beneath the waves
And for one hundred nights
the storm will rage

As she looks out across the horizon
The gray clouds appear and
The high waves ascend
A battle of will is upon them
Their sanity tested
Through these endless times
They're watching the sun disappear

On weary shores she's playing through these nights
Calling for the sun
Her heart is open now
No fear will take it's hold
Goddess of dark horizons
Cease the storm
For in time she'll serenade the sea
Find the lull beneath
Within the storm they're bound
The men are losing hope
Goddess of dark horizons
Guide them home

The warriors are lost out in the distance
Their storm-battered ship
Has now drifted off course
The outlook is grim for survival
Their rations run low
As the sea rages on
They're caught in the veil of the night

Out there in the distance
A lonesome ballad is heard
Her soul is serene
A glimmer of hope is born

The men grow weak
The storm won't cease

For one hundred days she will play her song
A melody latent within her heart
A symphony growing with each passing day
To silence the wind and calm the waves

On weary shores she played through the nights
Calling for the sun
Her heart is open now
No fear will take it's hold
Goddess of dark horizons
Ended the storm
From now on she'll serenade the sea
Found the lull beneath
No longer are they bound
The men are sailing on
Goddess of dark horizons
Brought them home

One hundred suns
Will rise in new dawns
And for one hundred nights
The seas are calm
