A New Land

We wandered through strange lands Traveling ever northwards Crossing valleys, over mountains To the shores of distant seas As the world grew frozen and pale Flowers withered, grass was dying The thickest trees has lost their leaves Wind brought in the scent of winter In the cold night of the north Our life was lodged by the pole star Showing us the path to follow Hammering down destiny Forever As dawn shone over the ice The morning star showed us the way To our new homeland Deer were wailing in the woodland Grunting fiercely in their fervor Bears clambered back to their caves Grouses slept under the snow Blackened was the sea a-storming Raging white flew freezing foam As the day sank to the west Moon came out and froze the waters In the cold night of the north Our life was lodged by the pole star Showing us the path to follow Hammering down destiny Forever As dawn shone over the ice The morning star showed us the way To our new homeland The black-throat divers and the swallows Dove deep down into the waters In the cold night of the north Our life was lodged by the pole star Showing us the path to follow Hammering down destiny Forever As dawn shone over the ice The morning star showed us the way To our new homeland As dawn shone over the ice The morning star showed us the way To our new homeland To out new homeland
