Tyr - Empire of the North lyrics

By the foot of the mountain
My forebears recount
Stood a hovel forlorn down by the bay
And at the edge of the sky
There's a fire as they fly
By the misty and magic break of day

Homebound to old ground

They return from the east in rain and thunder
Unconcerned to the north with
Trade and plunder and so many fell
We built mounds where they dwell
For the empire of the north
Far back east and down south
Whisperings, word of mouth
They found riches untold from far and wide

And on the isle in the lake
They left wealt in their wake
And a great sense of welldeserved pride

Home bound to old ground

They return from the east in rain and thunder
Unconcerned to the north with
Trade and plunder and so many fell
We built mounds where they dwell
For the empire of the north

Home bound to old ground

They return from the east in rain and thunder
Unconcerned to the north with
Trade and plunder without grief or guilt
For decendants they built
Us and empire of the north
They return from the east in rain and thunder
Unconcerned to the north with
Trade and plunder and so many fell
We built mounds where they dwell
For the empire of the north
