By the Light of the Northern Star
In the mass grave of mythology lie the legends of the past
Discarded superstitions although once held high
Both in honour and in awe, now they have fallen too far
To rise and close their eyes, the time and the tide
From yearning years of want onto dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of Rhine out to swift seas of rage
We have sailed by the light of the northern star
The northern night has never seen the southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain-ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star
May the mighty Mjölnir nail the bleeding and naked Nazarene
Upon the pagan planks pounding the painful nails
Now they're hanging high and dry or have we fallen too far
To rise and close our eyes the time and the tide
From yearning years of want onto dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of Rhine out to swift seas of rage
We have sailed by the light of the northern star
The northern night has never seen the southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain-ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star
Have we fallen too far
To rise and close our eyes the time and the tide
From yearning years of want onto dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of Rhine out to swift seas of rain
We have sailed by the light of the northern star
The northern night has never seen the southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain-ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star
Discarded superstitions although once held high
Both in honour and in awe, now they have fallen too far
To rise and close their eyes, the time and the tide
From yearning years of want onto dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of Rhine out to swift seas of rage
We have sailed by the light of the northern star
The northern night has never seen the southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain-ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star
May the mighty Mjölnir nail the bleeding and naked Nazarene
Upon the pagan planks pounding the painful nails
Now they're hanging high and dry or have we fallen too far
To rise and close our eyes the time and the tide
From yearning years of want onto dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of Rhine out to swift seas of rage
We have sailed by the light of the northern star
The northern night has never seen the southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain-ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star
Have we fallen too far
To rise and close our eyes the time and the tide
From yearning years of want onto dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of Rhine out to swift seas of rain
We have sailed by the light of the northern star
The northern night has never seen the southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain-ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star
