Northwards
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ice, it shattered into shards
Gave away under our feet
Many men did lose their lives
Taken by Tuonela's river
In the blue frost of the night
In the icy waters of death, yeah
Stifled were both wail and whisper
Frozen were the living hearts
The days, they followed each other
Nights defended our dreams
With the seasons grew our circle
And we knew we'd found our place
We would start from the beginning
Make it with our meager means
Crouching, cowering companions
Journeying ever northwards
Waking in the dead of night
My eyes opened in the darkness
I saw the sign of the red hand
Marking the mouth of a cave
On the sordid, stony ground
On a field of frozen grass
I found my spirit kith and kindred
My sisters and my brothers
Game is good and plentiful here
Happy is the life, the life of man
It was not in vain we came
Strayed from the silent waters
The days, they followed each other
Nights defended our dreams
With the seasons grew our circle
And we knew we'd found our place
We would start from the beginning
Make it with our meager means
Crouching, cowering companions
Journeying ever northwards
