"A New Land" lyrics

"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

And 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

And 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

And as dawn shone over the ice
The morning star showed us the way
To our new homeland

And as dawn shone over the ice
The morning star showed us the way
To our new homeland
To out new homeland
