Up high and far away, where the air is clear A vast horizon shimmers The cold wind seems to carry the light away As the earth's rotation closes the day Beyond the towering peaks Recurring shadows bow deep Into the raging rivers Beyond the towering peaks Recurring shadows bow deep Into the raging rivers The ground runs cold and hard Throughout the dark seasons The ebb and flow of growth and regression Seasons build, seasons tear down The northern hammer Keeps beating, beating Hear the echoes rumble Hear the echoes rumble Beyond the towering peaks Recurring shadows bow deep Into the raging rivers Into the raging rivers Beyond the towering peaks Recurring shadows bow deep Into the raging rivers The ground runs cold and hard Throughout the dark seasons Roots grow deep in order to keep Clinging to the gusty plains The wind hushes the earth to sleep The ebb and flow of growth and regression Seasons build, seasons tear down The northern hammer Keeps beating, beating Beating, beating Hear the echoes rumble Across the thunderous sky Summers reveal, winters conceal The thunderous sky oversees it all Up north and far away, where the air is clear Vast horizons call The mighty force of winter Shapes a merciless scenery Throughout the dark seasons Roots grow deep to keep Earth to sleep
