If you believe all your hope is gone
Down the drain of your humankind
The time has arrived
You be waiting here
As I was in a snow white shroud
Waiting underground
There by the ridge, be a gathering
Beneath the pilgrim moon
There we shall await, the beat
Of your feet, hammering the earth
Where the great ones tremble
In their snow white shrouds
Waiting underground
If you seek the kingdom, come along
Waiting by the ridge, there'll be a gathering
Beneath the pilgrim moon
Where the river thunders
Where we shall await, the beat
Of your feet, hammering the earth
And as the earth resounds
Where the great ones tremble
And your humankind becomes as one
Then we will arise in our snow white shrouds
Then we will be as one
But until that day we will just await
In our snow white shrouds
Waiting underground
Waiting underground
