The Great Road Rising

One mind, one land.

Let us see ourselves in the light. (ahhhh)

At the edge of the fjord,

runes of anger were carved.

The brother was judged,

the sister banished from the land.

The shield raised against the North wind.

Justice was believed to be carved in gold.

But by constantly watching

for the enemy on the plain,

the illusion of a false queen was nurtured.

Stones were erected, the scenery conjured,

To finally realize, when the tumult subsides,

That we had created

a perfect illusion.

In the world of tomorrow,

we hold hands.

Around the same fire,

blood and spirit: we are one.

Every judgment passed was a wolf in the darkness.

One mind, one land.

Each judgment passed

was a wolf in the shadows

An ancient fear that darkened our nights

We believed we possessed the truth of the wise

By locking men in narrow cages

Yet the same sap flows in our earthly veins And the great

ash tree Yggdrasil carries our sisterly and proud voices.

We erected stones, invoked the setting To finally realize,

when the tumult slumbers

Lay down the axes,

break the old oaths

Listen to the murmur of the great ocean

It is no longer the war of clans under the storm

But one great people turning the page

In the world of tomorrow,

we hold hands.

Around the same fire,

blood and spirit: we are one.

Yes, we are one...

a single spirit...

We are

one...

Forgiveness is a river...

We forget borders, we cast aside our armor

Open your eyes, feel the earth: we are one.

(we are one)
