And The North Star Cried

Long ago when the gods were still young and guarded the heavens

With might the four furious winds swept across the snows

Proud, fearless and free the children of ukko walked the earth

And at dusk they sang anthems to the welkin

And their beloved north star

And still she smiled upon the earth

Through these lands of ice the north star once led our way

Now blood covers the frozen ground

Scarred by an eerie sound as the north star cries in pain

On the darkest of winters evil arrived from across the sea

Disguised as a wooden cross -as the coming of salvation

Death and destruction they brought

And clashes of steel filled the nights

And the north star watched as the blood of her children flowed

And her tears fell upon the earth

Our fathers' blood was spilled on the ice

And the north star cried in the night

Our beloved gods were violently driven to exile

Gone are the days of the north star's reign

Now her tears are all that remain

But one day they'll wash the blood away

And the spirit that once died

Shall rise again
