| Who are you warlike men
|
| Wearing grey armour that is stained by rust?
|
| Breaking the ocean surge
|
| Warden of deserted shores
|
| Stands on his abandoned coast
|
| Leading troops over the sea
|
| None of them have landed yet
|
| One last sleep 'till the end
|
| Mother ocean, spread your arms around me
|
| Mother ocean, let your children come towards me
|
| Under my lonely sky
|
| He is no common man
|
| And when the raven died
|
| I stared into his cold eyes
|
| I saw it all unfold
|
| And saw what this life was about
|
| Beneath my wings my brothers lie
|
| When the fierce winds hurtle by
|
| On either side and 'neath my breast
|
| Our sons have known no other rest
|
| O' mighty father, lead us far
|
| With hope and songs of love and war
|
| Over the black sea and white foam
|
| From here their children will find home
|
| Remember days from long ago
|
| Slowly we wander to and fro
|
| But now dead winds that blur the light
|
| Pierce deep our feathers thin and light |
