Lyrics

UNANSWERED
They're calling again from 1963
Never answer, but I think I know what it means
The phone is disconnected , but still it rings
If I ever pick up will I hear anything.
What say you, who is this that calls for me?

Sefur í ró, (sleeps quietly)
sveinn undir snjó (a boy under the snow)
Hringja vill heim, (longs to call home)
Því hvíld í móður faðmi þráir. (For he yearns for rest in his mother's arms)

They're calling again, from 1954
If I don't answer, will they call me anymore?
Endless echoes cut through the air
Too scared to find out if there's anybody there.
What say you, what do you want from me?
What say you, what do you need?

Leiðin mín lá, (my way lay)
ljúfan um sjá (Over a tranquil sea)
Heim aldrei hélt, (never came home)
með hafsins brúðarskarti skrýddur. (clad in the ocean's wedding garb)

They're calling again from 1945
It used to take years, now they call me every night
Too hard to ignore, so I gave up the fight
Heard a voice in the darkness on the other side.
What say you, what do you want from me?
What say you, what do you need?

Sár er mín skömm, (my shame is painful)
sölt bæði og römm (salty and bitter)
Aldrei á ný, (never again)
álftæra rödd þína að heyra (your elf-pure voice to hear)
