Northwards

Ice it shattered into shards

Gave away under our feet

Many men did lose their lives

Taken by Tuonela's river

In the blue frost of the night

In the icy waters of death

Stifled were both wail and whisper

Frozen were the living hearts

The days, they followed each other

Nights defended our dreams

With the seasons grew our circle

And we knew we'd found our place

We would start from the beginning

Make it with our meager means

Crouching, cowering companions

Journeying ever northwards

Waking in the dead of night

My eyes opened in the darkness

I saw the sign of the red hand

Marking the mouth of a cave

On the sordid, stony ground

On a field of frozen grass

I found my spirit kith and kindred

My sisters and my brothers

Game is good and plentiful here

Happy is the life, the life of man

It was not in vain we came

Strayed from the silent waters

The days, they followed each other

Nights defended our dreams

With the seasons grew our circle

And we knew we'd found our place

We would start from the beginning

Make it with our meager means

Crouching, cowering companions

Journeying ever northwards
