Under a darkened sun they are born

When the moon is losing its shape

I'm here again to see

The nightly dance of the flames



Once my father bore his sword

To defend the clan till the end

Now he braves the battles

Between the red northern flames



In the silence of the night

I stare at those ancient lights

Which enlighten the way from the cradle

And lead warriors into the grave



They have always been

And they will never change

They light the fire of a soul

And keep it burning bright



And behind the scattered clouds

The star field of the sky

Brings back the dreams I already lost



Shall I ever be like him

The brave warrior of the night,

Whose name will be written

In the northern lights



[Chorus]
