Under the Northern Star

The icy winter is creeping near Dark skies above us Biting frost is in the air Darkness surrounds us The cold, piercing autumn breeze Fills the longship sail Soon the lakes and seas will freeze And snow will lay its veil Many years we have been away Many oceans we have roamed Now the north star guides us on our way As we are headed home The many hardships we've endured Have brought us rich reward Now the north star guides us home With cargo full of gold Many friends died on the way Only few of us survived But I would gladly take their place In Oden's hall up high The icy winter is creeping near Dark skies above us Biting frost is in the air Darkness surrounds us Soon the lakes and seas will freeze Snow will lay its veil And we will long for the summer breeze When we can set our sails
