The icy winter‘s getting near
Dark skies above us
Biting frost is in the air
Darkness surrounds us
The cold piercing autumn breeze
Fills the longship‘s sail
Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
And snow will lay its veil
Many years we have been away
Many oceans we have roamed
Now the North Star guides us on our way
As we are heading home
The many hardships we‘ve endured
That brought us rich rewards
Now the North Star guides us home
With cargo full of gold
Many friends died on the way
Only few of us survived
But I would gladly trade them place
In Oden‘s hall up high
[after solo]
The icy winter‘s getting near
Dark skies above us
Biting frost is in the air
Darkness surrounds us
Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
And snow will lay its trail
And we will hope for the summer breeze
When we can set our sails
