lyrics

Back To My Land

Show me the light
I have not seen now for five moons
A shine on the sea
when the horn blow announces the storm
How could I
ever leave my fathers’ land?
Oh, the land I grew up lays so far

Show me the star
of the north which is leading our way
Through the night,
when the black waves turn over our souls
But I stay,
I hold on and I remain
though it seems that our gods left my side

Look there! A cloudburst in the sky
A heaven-sent sign of the will that our men survive

Take me home through the storm back to my land
Where woods embrace the lake
The tune of the flute sounds through thunderous winds
It's our guide homewards

The treasures of men will be worthless like dust
Without a sign of hope
The tune of the flute sounds through mountainous waves
It's our guide homewards
A route back to our land

Say, am I right?
Is it time now to change course?
To rest and to share
a good ale on midsummer’s eve?
Let's return!
many moons have come to past
Since we laid down on golden-green grass

Set a sail in the wind at once
A long way lies still ahead

Far shores, dark rocks in the mist
My land lies at hand
Our journey has come to its end

I will long for the time when we cross swords again
But now I long for you
My land, our songs and the hillside in spring
My kinsmen, we're sailing home

Take me home through the storm back to my land
Where woods embrace the lake
The tune of the flute sounds through thunderous winds
It's our guide homewards
A route back to our land
