Once outside the city walls I headed for the hills No laconic wit could help me now Trudging through the desolation, in the swirling mist All was suddenly clear... Adrift in the wind I have a ghost to kill Following the river, step by step I upped the pace Failing to outrun the haunting guilt Lies of all these men of honor ringing in my ears, I could never return... Adrift in the wind I have a ghost to kill Passing over mountains, icy rock under my feet Never saw a soul or heard a sound Down into the gloomy valley, to the silent fjord, There a specter appeared... Adrift in the wind I have a ghost to kill Afloat on the waves I have a promise to keep The north sea has come home Empty barrels, the future's gone The arctic ocean has been sown We're reapers of the whirlwind blown Adrift in the wind We have a ghost to kill Afloat on the waves We have a promise to keep All that went before We have a ghost to kill What never came to be A ghost to kill and a promise to keep The north sea has come home
