Desdemona - Stavkirken lyrics

In the far and cold land of Norway Up there in the rainy Bergen town This is where my family came from This is where my roots have been planted The local church has got a big archive With the names and the stories of the families I went there to meet the local cleric I asked him to help me look for myself I went there to meet the local cleric I asked him to help me look for myself "I am sorry son, but no Nidhugsen family Left for England twenty nine years ago And no Michael Nidhugsen has been baptized here About that many years ago" I feel so confused now It seems my identity has been erased I feel so helpless now In the land I thought it was my own I feel so selfless now Where should I go searching for truth? I feel so confused now It seems my identity has been erased I am walking along the harbour Through the old wooden houses of the Brygge All of sudden, there is again My mysterious persecutor in black I stop and look at him in fright Why did he follow me this far? "You better go looking for yourself Outside the walls of this town" So out I walked, following my instinct Hearing a call with my mind's ears I reached a wood and there I found The old Fantoft wodden church I stepped inside and I fell on my knees Looking at the altar, a vision had I My spirit is singing My joy is arising The texture of my dress Is made of pure light With all the happy souls Gathered around me All along we're singing Cheering for his glory
