Tyr - By the Light of the Northern Star lyrics
[Tyr - By the Light of the Northern Star lyrics]
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 closed their eyes the time and the tide
From yearning years of want on
To dark days of wane
We have walked by the light
Of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out
To swift seas of raid
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 Mjølnir nail the bleeding
And naked Nazarene upon the pagan planks
Pound in the painful nails now and
Hang him high and dry
Or have we fallen too far to
Rise and closed our eyes
The time and the tide
From yearning years of want on
To dark days of wane
We have walked by the light
Of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out
To swift seas of raid
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 closed our eyes
The time and the tide
From yearning years of want on
To dark days of wane
We have walked by the light
Of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out
To swift seas of raid
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
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 closed their eyes the time and the tide
From yearning years of want on
To dark days of wane
We have walked by the light
Of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out
To swift seas of raid
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 Mjølnir nail the bleeding
And naked Nazarene upon the pagan planks
Pound in the painful nails now and
Hang him high and dry
Or have we fallen too far to
Rise and closed our eyes
The time and the tide
From yearning years of want on
To dark days of wane
We have walked by the light
Of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out
To swift seas of raid
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 closed our eyes
The time and the tide
From yearning years of want on
To dark days of wane
We have walked by the light
Of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out
To swift seas of raid
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
