I return to see the oak of my youth To see the roots swallow her ossuary The inlet, the strait and the pristine lake My world in past, crestfallen days The ever-swaying fields of perennial growth Like walking across the rainbow bridge A deep-rooted melancholy within ourselves Yet I smile in reminiscence of that old song Unchangeable zeal Everlasting strife My soul is formed By the hands of gods My heart is forged In the heart of stars My soul will shine Through every night My beloved scar My northern heart As the midnight sun caresses my complexion Njord's gentle breath leads the way Through paths less known and beyond Again I behold such immaculate sight With every passing of the gift of seasons Comes the lights from the ones who passed Transfixed by their dance of death Wherein remembrance dwell Unchangeable zeal Everlasting strife My soul is formed By the hands of gods My heart is forged In the heart of stars My soul will shine Through every night My beloved scar My northern heart
