WOLF SKALD

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Tengri watched from the mountains bluee
Odin stood where the black ravens fleww
Wolf on the steppe, cold wind from the north
Two ancient worlds called one name forth

Böri… vakna
Kök… norðr
Böri… vakna
Kök… norðr

Umay guarded the ember’s flame
Yggdrasil whispered her ancient name
Runes in stone, tamgas in blood
One voice rose from earth to gods

Wolf Skald
Blood of the wolf, tongue of the bard
Wolfskald!
Sky of the steppe, mist of the north

Not only north, not only east
One ancient road beneath one sky
The raven circles, the grey wolf walks
The old gods fall silent

Ha-ya… Böri
Ha-ya… Norðr
Ha-ya… Kök

Who Betrayed Who

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I trusted every word you said
Carried your name inside my head
Then when the walls came falling down
I looked for you — you weren’t around

Maybe I was wrong about you
Maybe you were wrong about me

Who betrayed who
Tell me what was true
We both walked away
With a different point of view
Who betrayed who
Maybe neither knew
How a little lie between us
Turned me against you

I learned to live without your side
Turned every wound into my pride
But time has made one thing unclear
Was it the truth that brought us here

Maybe I was wrong about you
Maybe you were wrong about me

Who betrayed who
Tell me what was true
We both walked away
With a different point of view
Who betrayed who
Maybe neither knew
How a little lie between us
Turned me against you

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Du brøt min tillit
Du knuste mitt hjerte
Du etterlot meg i mørket
Du åpnet et dypt arr inni meg
Jeg burde ha visst det fra starten
At du ikke var den jeg trodde du var
Du satte dine spor
Og nå brenner sjelen min
Nå verker hjertet mitt

Jeg valgte visst vennene mine feil
En dolk i ryggen
Likevel satte jeg livet mitt på spill

Jeg valgte visst vennene mine feil
En dolk i ryggen
Likevel satte jeg livet mitt på spill

Jeg valgte visst vennene mine feil
En dolk i ryggen
Likevel satte jeg livet mitt på spill

Jeg gikk gjennom ild for deg
Jeg ga deg hele mitt hjerte
Jeg trodde du var ekte, men jeg tok feil
Nå er sjelen min full av sorg
Jeg vet ikke hva jeg skal gjøre
Men det går bra

Jeg gikk gjennom ild for deg
Jeg ga deg hele mitt hjerte
Jeg trodde du var ekte, men jeg tok feil
Nå er sjelen min full av sorg
Jeg vet ikke hva jeg skal gjøre
Men det går bra
Jeg skal overleve denne smerten også

Jeg valgte visst vennene mine feil
En dolk i ryggen
Likevel satte jeg livet mitt på spill

Jeg valgte visst vennene mine feil
En dolk i ryggen
Likevel satte jeg livet mitt på spill

Jeg valgte visst vennene mine feil
En dolk i ryggen
Likevel satte jeg livet mitt på spill

Jeg valgte visst vennene mine feil
En dolk i ryggen
Likevel satte jeg livet mitt på spill

Jeg ga deg mitt hjerte, du valgte kniven

I know
You've lived a heavy life
I know
You hide your pain inside
But even when you fall apart
There's still a fire in your heart
I know
You're still holding on tonight

I see it in your eyes
That world-weary gaze
That dares me to say otherwise
I know it's been a while
Since someone gave a damn
Or gave you a reason to smile

I know
You've lived a heavy life
I know
You hide your pain inside
But even when you fall apart
There's still a fire in your heart
I know
You're still holding on tonight

I wanna see you shine
You're not too far gone
And you ain't too old to get it right
You've still got time
I know
You think you're beyond repair
And you're out of sight and out of mind
But I swear
I know

I know
You've lived a heavy life
I know
You hide your pain inside
But even when you fall apart
There's still a fire in your heart
I know
You're still holding on tonight

I know
You're still holding on tonight

I know
You've lived a heavy life
I know
You hide your pain inside
But even when you fall apart
There's still a fire in your heart
I know
You're still holding on tonight

Chasin' Solitude

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I've been running from the nightlife
Searching for a different sky
Every road keeps asking questions
That I never could deny

If I'm ever gonna find me
I need more than what I knew

Tell me
Who are you trying to fool now?
Every escape leads back somehow

I need it to be alright
Maybe I'm chasin' solitude
Think I could use a new view
I need it to be alright
Maybe I'm chasin' solitude
Maybe all I need's a brand new view
A brand new view

I've been living in the echoes
Of a voice I couldn't hear
Every step I've taken lately
Only brought me back to fear

Now I'm learning how to let go
Of the weight I used to choose
Maybe peace was never waiting
Maybe I just had to move

Tell me
Who are you trying to fool now?
Stop giving darkness another way in

I need it to be alright
Maybe I'm chasin' solitude
Think I could use a new view
I need it to be alright
Maybe I'm chasin' solitude
Maybe all I need's a brand new view
A brand new view

Let your soul fly
Surrender to the beat
Move your feet
Feel the magic
Come alive with me
Do you believe? Close your eyes and see
Now is the time to set us free

We'll be dancing under the moon

Eldurinn brennur heitar nú
Múrarnir falla smátt og smátt
Ég heyri myrkrið kalla á mig
En ég sný mér ekki frá

Þau sjá ljósið innra með mér
Og vilja sjá það deyja út
Þau verða aldrei sátt fyrr en
Ég brotna loksins niður

But I'm not gonna break
No
I'm not gonna fall
Ohh
I'm gonna show the world I can conquer it all

Ég verð að berjast gegnum skuggann
Ég verð að standa þegar von er horfin
Heimurinn reynir að brjóta anda minn
En ég held áfram

Ég verð að berjast gegnum skuggann
Ég verð að standa þegar von er horfin
Heimurinn reynir að brjóta anda minn

I've been brought to the edge of it all
I've been ready to jump
I can't count how many times
I've been buried alive
I was ready to die
And the only thing that brought me back was knowing I'm alive

But I'm not gonna break
No
I'm not gonna fall
Ohh
I'm gonna show the world I can conquer it all

Grey dawn
Salt in my hair
Smoke from the houses
Ash on the fjord
Names carved in weathered birch

Your cloak on the peg
Cold as a hanging storm
Bread on the table
Breaking
But not yet torn

I will carry your shadow home
Through the ice
Through the iron foam
Stone on my chest
But my feet still go
I will carry your shadow home

I will carry your shadow home
Through the ice
Through the iron foam
Stone on my chest
But my feet still go
I will carry your shadow home

Red thread round my wrist
Knotted for every year
Song in a language
Only the old crows hear

Boats fade to points
Swallowed by breathing mist
I taste the winter
Sharp on an unheard wish

I will carry your shadow home
Through the ice
Through the iron foam
Stone on my chest
But my feet still go
I will carry your shadow home

If I must walk
Till the mountains split
If I must stand
Where the sky is split

Then let the wind
Take what grief it can
Leave what remains
Pressed in the palm of my hand

I will carry your shadow home
Through the ice
Through the iron foam
Stone on my chest
But my feet still go
I will carry your shadow home

I will carry your shadow home
Through the ice
Through the iron foam
Stone on my chest
But my feet still go
I will carry your shadow home

I stäppens mörka famn
Finns spår av våra fäder
Själv vinden viskar deras namn
Mot nattens kalla skuggor
Mödrars tysta bön
Brinner än i våra bröst
Släkten smidd av järn och smärta
Står som berg i evig tröst

Hör denna röst
Fäders röst

Vi är himlens barn
Av varg och gammal ätt
Blodet brinner, själen minns
Den ärofyllda väg vi sett

Rösten ekar över land
Vi är arv från de stora
Bundna av blod och ande

Hästars rop över slätten
Stiger med den gryende dag
Fäders ära, mödrars tårar
Håller folket stående i lag
Ingen frost kan frysa oss
Ingen natt kan sudda namn
För i sten och jord och himmel
Lever än vårt heliga arv

Förfäders eld brinner
Hör
Deras ord i vinden går
Ett folk kan blöda i mörker
Men det reser sig och slår

Dağlar gibi dimdik durur

Bu milleti ayakta tutar

Hiçbir ayaz donduramaz bizi
Hiçbir gece silemez adımızı

Yaşar hâlâ kutsal soyumuz

The Dark Road

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I walked alone
Down a road swallowed by the dark
Gravel underneath my feet
Every step was cutting deep
Still, I carried on

No one ever called my name
Every door I came across
Was closed in front of me
The cruelest kind of hopelessness
Kept walking next to me

Still, I carried on
One more step…
My hands were trembling
But my steps were not

You can break me down
But you can’t write my ending
After every fall
I rise up even stronger

I walked the dark road
Lost, but I never turned back
Though the fear kept growing inside me
I never bowed, not once

I walked the dark road
Whispered my name over and over
Who am I?
And somewhere along the way
I even forgot my name

The farther that I walked
The quieter I became
My feet were growing heavier
With every step I took

Everything I left behind
Kept fading farther away
No one ever turned around
No one reached out for my hand

All the weight I carried inside
No one knew but me
The heaviest kind of loneliness
Kept walking next to me

Still, I carried on
One more step…
My hands were trembling
But my steps were not

You can break me down
But you can’t write my ending
After every fall
I rise up even stronger

I walked the dark road
Lost, but I never turned back
Though the fear kept growing inside me
I never bowed, not once

I walked the dark road
As the night came down on me
Though the fear kept following behind
I never turned back
I’m still here

Smoke behind me, music loud, everybody knows my name

Let me show you how I drive I drive
Hit the gas, turn the wheel, come and take a little ride
Girls beside me lookin’ good underneath the city lights City lights
Hold on tight now, yeah Yeah, come on

Nordavind

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Morgen grå over fjordens rand
Tau i hånd og salt på min rand
Skipet gynger, men jeg står støtt
Mørke skyer, men hjertet er rødt

Jeg ser land som en sølvgrå stripe
Hører bølgene slå mot min skipe
Bror min roper fra fordekk frem
Vi skal hjem, vi skal hjem igjen

Hei, løft nå
Hold tak i stormen
Hei, syng nå
Så vi når horisonten

Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Kall meg hjem, kall meg hjem i blå
Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Vi seiler der nordavind blåser (hei, hei)

Mast og måne, ta oss fram
Mast og måne, kjenn vårt navn
Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Vi seiler der nordavind blåser

Kjølen knirker som gammel ved
Måken følger der strømmen led
Hender brune av tjære og sår
Men jeg ler når jeg kjenner vår

Du står på land med et lys i blikk
Sender meg mot et nytt, hvitt skrik
Når jeg kommer, skal isen smelte
Og du og jeg skal våkne og velte

Hei, løft nå
Hold tak i stormen
Hei, syng nå
Så vi når horisonten

Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Kall meg hjem, kall meg hjem i blå
Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Vi seiler der nordavind blåser (hei, hei)

Mast og måne, ta oss fram
Mast og måne, kjenn vårt navn
Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Vi seiler der nordavind blåser

Om natta når havet blir svart
Holder jeg fast ved ditt varme kart
En stemme i vinden, en hånd i mitt hår
Sier: "Kom tilbake, når morgenen står"

Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Kall meg hjem, kall meg hjem i blå
Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Vi seiler der nordavind blåser (hei, hei)

Mast og måne, ta oss fram
Mast og måne, kjenn vårt navn
Heis seilet, heis seilet nå
Vi seiler der nordavind blåser

Mother Told Me

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Salt on my hands
Frost in my hair
I watched the dark sea
Take all I held dear

My oars were splintered
My bones were sore
Still I kept rowing
Toward the shore

Hear the drowned bell
Toll beneath the foam
Some will return
Some never come home

Hold to the rail
Hold to your name
The sea cannot drown
An undying flame

My mother told me
Daughter, stand tall
My mother told me
Storms rise and fall

My mother told me
Sing through the night
My mother told me
We’ll see dawn’s first light

Lanterns were fading
One by one
The mast was breaking
But we carried on

The old gods were silent
Cold in the spray
I gave all my fear
To the sea that day

Hear the drowned bell
Toll beneath the foam
Some will return
Some never come home

Hold to the rail
Hold to your name
The sea cannot drown
An undying flame

My mother told me
Daughter, stand tall
My mother told me
Storms rise and fall

My mother told me
Sing through the night
My mother told me
We’ll see dawn’s first light

Let the deep drums thunder
Let the ancient war cry rise
Carry the fallen’s final words
Beyond the northern skies

If I am bound to sink
I’ll face the deep with pride
With every sacred vow I made
Still burning deep inside

Track 03

Thunder in My Bones

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I left the pier in rain
With a cutlass at my hip
Four gold teeth in my purse
And a map that tore a bit
Maggie tied my hair
Said, “Girl, don’t you drift”
I kissed the dock goodbye
Then I learned to shift

Hoist it up, now
Hark the rope, now
If the tide wants me
It can have me? No

Hey, ho, let’s go
Sail it while the wind blows
Hey, ho, let’s go
We won’t sink, we won’t fold
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let’s go
Bring the gold, bring the gold

We took a sloop at dawn
From a lord with jeweled cuffs
His men were all too proud
Till they heard our boots and ruffs
I took the wheel one hand
With a grin and a scar
And I drove that ship through black
Like a blade through tar

Hoist it up, now
Hark the rope, now
If the sea wants me
It can have me? No

Hey, ho, let’s go
Sail it while the wind blows
Hey, ho, let’s go
We won’t sink, we won’t fold
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let’s go
Bring the gold, bring the gold

Oh, the moon was a coin
On a dark, open palm
And the crew sang my name
Like a rough, rolling psalm
If I die on the foam
Bury me with my flame
With a bottle and a blade
And a song to my name

Hey, ho, let’s go
Sail it while the wind blows
Hey, ho, let’s go
We won’t sink, we won’t fold
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let’s go
Bring the gold, bring the gold

Hey, ho, let’s go
Hear the deck boards groan and moan
Hey, ho, let’s go
Home is where the wild waves roam
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let’s go
Bring the gold, bring the gold

Saltwind and Cannon

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Out of Blackwater Bay
We cut through the foam
Six ships in the dusk
And one cracked home
Her name on the bow
Paint peeled in streaks
But the old girl bit
Like she had teeth

Raise the line
Take the strain
Hold her steady
Through the rain
Hear that wind?
Hear it call?
We don't bend
We don't fall

Hoist her high
Let her roll
Saltwind and cannon
Take my soul
Hoist her high
Make it ring
Saltwind and cannon
Crew, sing, sing (sing, sing)

A lantern swung low
By the mast and rope
Blue jack in the fog
Kept the crew in hope
One gold coin
And a map of scars
Buried deep
Past the broken bars

Raise the line
Take the strain
Hold her steady
Through the rain
Hear that wind?
Hear it call?
We don't bend
We don't fall

Hoist her high
Let her roll
Saltwind and cannon
Take my soul
Hoist her high
Make it ring
Saltwind and cannon
Crew, sing, sing (sing, sing)

If the sea wants debt
Then it knows my name
If the tide comes red
We will rise in flame
I’ve got brine on my hands
And the devil at stern
But I’ll wheel this ship
Till the horizon burns

Hoist her high
Let her roll
Saltwind and cannon
Take my soul
Hoist her high
Make it ring
Saltwind and cannon
Crew, sing, sing (sing, sing)
Hoist her high
Let her go
Saltwind and cannon
Home we float

Salt on the Boom

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Pull that rope, boys, pull
Till the mast goes true
Rain in my eyes
And a cold wind through

Tar on my hands
And salt in my beard
Ship like a beast
But she knows we’re here

Oh, heave away
Hear the timbers moan
One more pull
And we’re home, we’re home

Ho, haul away
Ho, haul away
Salt on the boom
And we’re singing all day
Ho, haul away
Ho, haul away
Hold to the line
And we’ll ride the spray

Black gull circling low
Over broken foam
Lantern in the fog
Like a bone-white dome

Cook’s got beans
And the captain’s grin
One more storm
Then we go back in

Oh, heave away
Hear the timbers moan
One more pull
And we’re home, we’re home

Ho, haul away
Ho, haul away
Salt on the boom
And we’re singing all day
Ho, haul away
Ho, haul away
Hold to the line
And we’ll ride the spray

If the sea takes me
Bury me deep
With my boots on
And my vow to keep

But I’m still here
With my brothers now
Loud as thunder
On the boards we pound

Ho, haul away
Ho, haul away
Salt on the boom
And we’re singing all day
Ho, haul away
Ho, haul away
Hold to the line
And we’ll ride the spray

Ho, haul away
Ho, haul away
Salt on the boom
Till the day is done

Sailing Well

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I boarded the ship for soup
They handed me a mop
The captain said, “Good news, love,
you’re due to scrub the top”
The first mate winked at supper
and dropped a squid in my shoe
I said, “If this is promotion,
then I’m already through”

But the wind kept tugging
And the deck kept groaning
The lanterns swung like gossip
And the barrels started rolling
I tied my apron tighter
I laughed into the spray
If I must sail with fools tonight
I’ll do it my own way

Bring me the bucket
Bring me the bail
I married a mess
On the open rail
Bring me the bucket
I’ll sing this tale
We sunk three pies
And called it “sailing well”

A gull stole half my biscuit
Then judged me from the mast
The cook said, “That’s just natural”
Then ate the last fish fast
The cabin boy found my teacup
In a boot by the chain
He said a sea witch blessed it
I said, “That was just rain”

But the wind kept tugging
And the deck kept groaning
The lanterns swung like gossip
And the barrels started rolling
I dusted off my apron
And grinned into the spray
If this old tub keeps tilting
I’ll laugh the whole way

Bring me the bucket
Bring me the bail
I married a mess
On the open rail
Bring me the bucket
I’ll sing this tale
We sunk three pies
And called it “sailing well”

The captain lost his compass
To a crab in a hat
The first mate made a sermon
To a very angry rat
I found a map in pickles
And a pear where it fell
If this ship goes nowhere
At least it goes there well

Bring me the bucket
Bring me the bail
I married a mess
On the open rail
Bring me the bucket
I’ll sing this tale
We sunk three pies
And called it “sailing well”
Bring me the bucket
Watch me prevail
I’m sea-born trouble
With a crooked little sail

Pull the Line

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I left at dawn with the tide
Boots full of brine, eyes wide
Old rope burned in my palm
And the sea kept time, calm

Hoist it up, don’t let it slide
Every man on the line
Hear that hull sing low
We’ve got a long way home

Pull, pull, pull the line
Hold the dark and hold the fine
Pull, pull, pull all night
We’ll be home by morning light
(hey now) Pull, pull, pull the line
(oh) Hold the dark and hold the fine

Cap’n points at the rising foam
Says there’s gold in the storm
But my heart stays with the crew
And the red sky burning through

Hoist it up, don’t let it slide
Every man on the line
If the wind won’t show
We make our own way home

Pull, pull, pull the line
Hold the dark and hold the fine
Pull, pull, pull all night
We’ll be home by morning light
(hey now) Pull, pull, pull the line
(oh) Hold the dark and hold the fine

When the rain comes hard
And the deck turns mean
I’ll still sing your name
Through the salt and steam

Pull, pull, pull the line
Hold the dark and hold the fine
Pull, pull, pull all night
We’ll be home by morning light
(hey now) Pull, pull, pull the line
(oh) Hold the dark and hold the fine

I Came for the Sea

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I left the pier at dusk
With a hook in my grin
Three coins in my palm
And the tide on my skin
The captain said, “girl, keep low”
As the black gulls cried
But I saw that ship by moonlight
And I felt my pulse rise

Ho, hold fast
Let the rope run true
Ho, hold fast
I was born for the blue

Hoist me up, let me go
Salt on my sleeve, salt on my sleeve
Hoist me up, let me go
I came for the sea, I came for the sea
(hey, hey)
I came for the sea

There was rum in the hold
And a drum in the dark
A map stitched in red
Like a bite in the bark
We danced on the deckboards
When the storm rolled in
My hair in the rain
And the night on my skin

Ho, hold fast
Let the rope run true
Ho, hold fast
I was born for the blue

Hoist me up, let me go
Salt on my sleeve, salt on my sleeve
Hoist me up, let me go
I came for the sea, I came for the sea
(hey, hey)
I came for the sea

When the thunder split
And the mast groaned low
I laughed in the spray
Said, “I won’t sink slow”
If the deep wants gold
Then it’ll take my name
But I’ll leave with the wind
And the fire in my veins

Hoist me up, let me go
Salt on my sleeve, salt on my sleeve
Hoist me up, let me go
I came for the sea, I came for the sea
(hey, hey)
I came for the sea
Hoist me up, let me go
Salt on my sleeve, salt on my sleeve
Hoist me up, let me go
I came for the sea, I came for the sea
(hey, hey)
I came for the sea

Hiv og hoi

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I mørkret ved fjorden
står skuta vår og vrir
Jeg knyter tau med henda
mens havet sleiker skrin

Månen over masten
den glir som kaldt stål
Og du skal hjem med oss i natt
om vinden holder mål

Hiv og hoi, løft opp
Se, seilene vil fram
Hiv og hoi, søster
Vi bærer samme navn

Hiv og hoi, kom med
Is under årene
Hiv og hoi, kom med
Vi seiler gjennom tårene

Hiv og hoi, ro med
Mot nordens svarte hav
Hiv og hoi, ro med
Vi kommer hjem som brann

På baugen står en kvinne
med øyne som en storm
Hun ler mot gamle bølger
og kaller dem ved navn

Hun sier: "Hold din kurs nå
når natt og nise går"
Så følger vi den stemmen
som skjærer gjennom år

Hiv og hoi, løft opp
Se, seilene vil fram
Hiv og hoi, søster
Vi bærer samme navn

Hiv og hoi, kom med
Is under årene
Hiv og hoi, kom med
Vi seiler gjennom tårene

Hiv og hoi, ro med
Mot nordens svarte hav
Hiv og hoi, ro med
Vi kommer hjem som brann

Når drivisen står tett
og grått blir alt vi ser
Så synger vi mot uværet
til hjertet holder mer

Hiv og hoi, kom med
Is under årene
Hiv og hoi, kom med
Vi seiler gjennom tårene

Hiv og hoi, ro med
Mot nordens svarte hav
Hiv og hoi, ro med
Vi kommer hjem som brann

Heave Her Home

Read lyricsClose lyrics

We left the pier at dawn
With tar on our hands
Salt in the rope
And weather on the plans

The mast leaned hard
The gulls cried loud
You tied your coat
Like you meant to outshout the cloud

Oh, pull, pull
Till the board groans low
Oh, pull, pull
Let the black tide go

Heave her home, my crew
Heave her home
We were born for the foam
And the foam knows our bones

Heave her home, my crew
Heave her home
Keep your eyes on the line
And your heart on the road

Old Jonah laughed
With a toothless grin
Said the sea takes twice
For every man she lets in

We saw green water rise
Like a wall of glass
But your voice cut clean
And you would not let us pass

Oh, pull, pull
Till the dark gives way
Oh, pull, pull
And we steal the day

Heave her home, my crew
Heave her home
We were born for the foam
And the foam knows our bones

Heave her home, my crew
Heave her home
Keep your eyes on the line
And your heart on the road

When the wind turns mean
And the deck goes wild
I’ll still hear your shout
Like a mother to a child

If the storm comes down
Let it bang, let it roar
We’ve got one more pull
Then we’ll ask for more

Heave her home, my crew
Heave her home
We were born for the foam
And the foam knows our bones

Heave her home, my crew
Heave her home
Keep your eyes on the line
And your heart on the road

Oh, pull, pull
To the harbor light
Oh, pull, pull
Till we make it right

Dra Meg Hjem

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Jeg dro ut med kaffekopp
på et skip som luktet sild
Kapteinen sa, “vær blid, min venn”
mens bølgene slo vilt
Jeg skled på en tønne
og landet i en sekk
Da ropte hele dekket
“Hun er sjøklart litt for kjekk”

Hei, hei, hold i tau
Jeg rir på storm og skvett
En måke stjal min matpakke
og så sa jeg “takk for det”
Hei, hei, ikke gråt
Jeg danser med en fisk
Hvis sjøen vil ha show i dag
så tar vi hele risk

Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Sjøen tok min hatt
men jeg tok tilbake stemm’
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hvis detta er et mareritt
så synger jeg med dem (hei!)

Jeg møtte en gammel sjøulk
med sokker fulle av sand
Han pekte mot en stormsky
og sa, “der bor en mann”
Men det var bare en sel
med briller og en plan
Den nikket veldig høytidelig
og ba om mer banan

Hei, hei, hold i tau
Jeg rir på storm og skvett
En måke stjal min matpakke
og så sa jeg “takk for det”
Hei, hei, ikke gråt
Jeg danser med en fisk
Hvis sjøen vil ha show i dag
så tar vi hele risk

Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem

Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem

Åh, min kjære fjord
du gjør meg våt og glad
Jeg kom for gull og dramatikk
men fant en dans i dag
Så dra på mer av vinden
la kvelden bli litt skakk
Jeg leder dette skipet nå
med grøt på hver minakk

Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Sjøen tok min hatt
men jeg tok tilbake stemm’
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hvis detta er et mareritt

Hei, ho, dra meg hjem
Hei, ho, dra meg hjem

Dra i Tau

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Vi dro ut fra kai i grått
med tjære på hånd og skjegg
Månen lå som et krumt gammelt spik
over mast og knirkende dekk

Kaja ropte: hold nå fast
vinden biter som en hund
Men vi lo med salt i munnen
og lot bølgene slå i grunn

Hør da, bror, det kommer
svart fra vest i natt
Trekk i tauet, trekk i tauet
før det tar oss fatt

Hei, ho, dra i tau
dra oss hjem i land
Hei, ho, dra i tau
med en sterk, fast hand

Hei, ho, dra i tau
vi står ennå her
Hei, ho, dra i tau
til fjorden blir klar og nær

Vi så en seilskute langt der ute
som et spøkelse av tre
Hun bar lys i hver en sprekk
og en sang vi ikke kunne se

Gamle Oskar spyttet sjø
sa: det skipet er ikke vårt
Men en stemme kom med tåka
og den kalte navnet vårt

Hør da, bror, det kommer
rett mot skuteside nå
Trekk i tauet, trekk i tauet
la den stormen gå

Hei, ho, dra i tau
dra oss hjem i land
Hei, ho, dra i tau
med en sterk, fast hand

Hei, ho, dra i tau
vi står ennå her
Hei, ho, dra i tau
til fjorden blir klar og nær

Når natta la seg tung og blå
stod vi tett med våte sko
Én ga brød, én ga mot
én holdt kursen rolig og god

Og om havet tar vårt navn
skal det klinge i vår sang
For hver mann som drar i tau
blir til ekko i vår gang

Hei, ho, dra i tau
dra oss hjem i land
Hei, ho, dra i tau
med en sterk, fast hand

Hei, ho, dra i tau
vi står ennå her
Hei, ho, dra i tau
til fjorden blir klar og nær

Hei, ho, dra i tau
dra oss hjem i land
Hei, ho, dra i tau

Black Salt Harbor

Read lyricsClose lyrics

We left Black Salt Harbor
Before the tide was high
My boots were full of brine and mud
The moon was in my eye
Old Cap’n drew a crooked line
Across the weathered map
He said “There’s gold in iron teeth
If you bring the anchor back”

Heave now, hold fast
Don’t you let go
Hear that keel groan
Down below
Heave now, hold fast
Raise the rope
We’ll ride that storm
Till we see the coast

Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
Black Salt Harbor
Won’t see us today
Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
We’ll take our cut
And sail away (sail away)

The sea went black as bottle ink
The mast began to cry
I saw a shape in foaming dark
With lanterns for eyes
The men all crossed their shaking hands
And spat into the rain
But I kept one silver charm
Tied up around my chain

Heave now, hold fast
Don’t you let go
Hear that keel groan
Down below
Heave now, hold fast
Raise the rope
We’ll ride that storm
Till we see the coast

Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
Black Salt Harbor
Won’t see us today
Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
We’ll take our cut
And sail away (sail away)

When the thunder split the crow’s nest
And the waves stood tall
I heard my name in the spray
Like a chain call
So I laughed right back at the deep
With a blade in my hand
If the devil wants his gold tonight
He can come and take the damned

Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
Black Salt Harbor
Won’t see us today
Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
We’ll take our cut
And sail away (sail away)
Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
Black Salt Harbor
Won’t see us today
Yo ho, pull away
Yo ho, pull away
We’ll take our cut
And sail away (sail away)

Ash and Horn

Read lyricsClose lyrics

We came through the birch in a row
Mud on our hems, cold in our bones
Three black stones by the fire pit
Wolf track circles where the east wind sits

Salt in the bowl, ash on the brow
Old words wake in the hollow now
Hands on the drum, eyes on the flame
One by one, we speak your name

Odin hear the hail
Freyja take the knife
Blood to the root
Bring back the life

Ash and horn
Ash and horn
We call it up
We call it home
Ash and horn
Ash and horn
The fire knows
The fire knows

Red clay painted on the shield
Elder’s breath in the iron field
Boar tusk hanging from the yew
Every vow we make cuts true

Cup of mead, no one drinks first
Let the old grief break and burst
If the tide takes one from sight
We sing him back through the night

Odin hear the hail
Freyja take the knife
Blood to the root
Bring back the life

Ash and horn
Ash and horn
We call it up
We call it home
Ash and horn
Ash and horn
The fire knows
The fire knows

Bones in the birch bark
Names in the smoke
Beat of the boot heel
Thread of the yoke
When the dark closes in
We do not bend
We rise with the ember
Again and again

Ash and horn
Ash and horn
We call it up
We call it home
Ash and horn
Ash and horn
The fire knows
The fire knows

Ash and horn
Ash and horn
We stand as one
At the edge of dawn

Roll Me Home

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I shipped out with a tea tin
And a hat full of rain
A gull stole my biscuit
Then it came back again
The cook said, "Mind your manners"
I said, "That ship has sailed"
He laughed so hard he dropped the salt
And blamed it on the whale

Oh, the tide it leans
And the deck it groans
We’re one small storm
From a thousand songs

Hey ho, roll me home
Salt in my boots and a grin in my bones
Hey ho, sing it loud
We’re a long way from shore but we’re laughing now
Heave and haul, let the whole sea know
We dance with the drift and we never say no
Hey ho, roll me home
Salt in my boots and a grin in my bones

The captain lost her compass
In a pie and bun affair
She swore the stars were lying
As they pointed everywhere
The first mate wore three sweaters
In the month of June
He said, "This is nautical fashion"
And he sold that line by noon

Oh, the wind got cheeky
The mast went bent
But we paid that gale
With a kettle and a chant

Hey ho, roll me home
Salt in my boots and a grin in my bones
Hey ho, sing it loud
We’re a long way from shore but we’re laughing now
Heave and haul, let the whole sea know
We dance with the drift and we never say no
Hey ho, roll me home
Salt in my boots and a grin in my bones

Now the moon wears a crown
And the clouds clap hands
I’ve seen a hundred foolish ways
To outdrink the land
If the sea wants trouble
Well, I brought my own
A spoon, a song, and a stubborn heart
And a map made of stone

Hey ho, roll me home
Salt in my boots and a grin in my bones
Hey ho, sing it loud
We’re a long way from shore but we’re laughing now
Heave and haul, let the whole sea know
We dance with the drift and we never say no
Hey ho, roll me home
Salt in my boots and a grin in my bones
Hey ho, roll me home
With a cracked old mug and a pirate’s tone
Hey ho, sing it proud
We’re a storm-proof joke and a thundercloud
Heave and haul, let the whole sea know
We dance with the drift and we never say no
Hey ho, roll me home
Salt in my boots and a grin in my bones

Because I'm Human

Read lyricsClose lyrics

One morning when the sun came through
And painted all the fields in gold
I opened up my little door
To see what stories might unfold

I saw an ant beside the road
So I left a little bread
Two sparrows waited by the gate
I filled their bowl instead

The wind was dancing through the leaves
The whole wide world felt new
And every little living thing
Had something beautiful to do

Maybe no one knows my name
Maybe no one ever will
But if one little heart feels safe
Then I have something still

I feel the rain, I feel the sun
I laugh, I hurt, I understand
I care because I know I can
Because I’m human

I wanna run where the wildflowers grow
Feel the warm sun down to my soul
Sing with the birds, dance with the rain
Lose my way and find it again

Give a little love wherever I go
Leave a little light for someone to know
I don’t need much to understand
Life is beautiful
Because I’m human

The road went winding through the trees
Where silver water crossed the stone
An old oak whispered in the breeze
As if it knew I walked alone

A little fox looked back at me
Then vanished underneath the green
I smiled because sometimes the best
Are things that disappear unseen

Then by an old and broken bridge
I found a child who sat and cried
I didn’t ask what brought the tears
I only sat down by their side

Maybe I can’t change the world
Maybe that was never mine
But I can make one moment warm
I can make one moment kind

I feel the joy, I feel the pain
I know how much a hand can mean
That’s all I ever need to be
Because I’m human

I wanna run where the wildflowers grow
Feel the warm sun down to my soul
Sing with the birds, dance with the rain
Lose my way and find it again

Give a little love wherever I go
Leave a little light for someone to know
I don’t need much to understand
Life is beautiful
Because I’m human

Ár líða, dagar hverfa
Skip fara um víðan sæ
Vindr blæss harðr við strǫnd
Kaldar nætr falla á hafnir
Sjóndeild kallar enn á oss

Sterk er sál mín, eldr lifir
Engi stöðvar mik

Draugar ok dísir dansa
Hetjur rísa enn á ný
Valhǫll bíður vár
Sigr er þegar í blóði váru
Nafn várt bergmálar í fjǫllum

Skjǫldr minn skín í tunglsljósi
Sverð mitt syngr vígaljóð
Fjándr falla einn af ǫðrum
Sem lauf í hvǫssum vindi
Jǫrð skelfr undir fótum várum

Hjarta mitt brennr sem eldr
Engi stöðvar mik

Draugar ok dísir dansa
Hetjur rísa enn á ný
Valhǫll bíður vár
Sigr er þegar í blóði váru
Nafn várt bergmálar í fjǫllum

Draugar ok dísir dansa
Hetjur rísa enn á ný
Valhǫll bíður vár
Sigr er þegar í blóði váru
Forn goð heyra raust vára
Til síðasta andardráttar göngum vér

Daughters of the Flame

Read lyricsClose lyrics

They tried to silence every voice
Now let them hear us rise as one
Come
Step out of the darkness
Walk into the fire
Take my hand
And join the rite
Here within this circle
We become one

I hear the ancient drums resounding
Deep within the forest
Here they come
Feel the thunder in your chest
Wake the power
Hidden deep within
Speak your truth

Come and dance around the fire with me

We are daughters of the flame
Come-together, gather near
Raise your voices, without fear
Let the fire lead the way

We are daughters of the flame
Come-together, gather near
Raise your voices, without fear
Let the fire lead the way

Raise your hands
Up to the sky
Watch the sparks as they rise high
You are not broken
You are strong
Here beside us
We are free as one

Let your old fears fade away
Feel the magic
Come alive today
Give yourself into the rhythm
Move your feet
Hear the voices
Let your spirit find its peace

Believe in me
Close your eyes and breathe
Tonight is ours
And we will all be free

Come and dance around the fire with me

We are daughters of the flame
Come-together, gather near
Raise your voices, without fear
Let the fire lead the way

We are daughters of the flame
Come-together, gather near
Raise your voices, without fear
Let the fire lead the way

I Buy Myself Flowers

Read lyricsClose lyrics

I used to fear being alone
Till I heard what silence could say
Now I'm happier on my own
Turns out peace was here all along

I set one plate for dinner
I let my favorite song play
It used to feel like empty
Now it feels like space

I learned my name out loud
I like how it sounds
No one has to save me
I'm already found

I buy myself flowers
I keep my own hours
I bloom where I stand
With my own two hands
I buy myself flowers
I laugh for hours
The peace that I need
Was inside of me

I dance in my hallway
With my socks on the floor
Got a little more sunlight
Than I ever had before

I call my friends on Sunday
Then I turn my phone off
I don't need a crowded room
To love what I've got

I learned my name out loud
I like how it sounds
No one has to save me
I'm already found

I buy myself flowers
I keep my own hours
I bloom where I stand
With my own two hands
I buy myself flowers
I laugh for hours
The peace that I need
Was inside of me

If I fall, I catch me
If I laugh, I shine
I learned to love my own company
Turns out I'm enough for me

I buy myself flowers
I keep my own hours
I bloom where I stand
With my own two hands
I buy myself flowers
I laugh for hours
The peace that I need
Was inside of me

I Didn't Want to Die

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Oh, mother dear
They sent me away
A rifle in my hands
Without a word

Yesterday at home
I sat by your side
Now I walk alone
Where young soldiers die

Your letter in my pocket
Your voice still in my ears
I look up at the sky
And think of home

Oh, mother dear
They sent me off to die
Said I would come back
But never promised I would

Oh, father dear
You told me to be strong
Now I know
Courage doesn’t mean no fear

Oh, brother mine
Don’t change my room
Maybe one morning
I’ll come home again

The boy beside me
Called out for his mother
Then all at once
His voice was gone

Across the hill
Another soldier stands
Maybe he dreams
Of his mother’s hands

Mother, it’s raining
I can’t run home
Father, forgive me
I feel so alone

Oh, mother dear
I may not return
Oh, brother mine
Let my candle burn

Take care of Mom
Hug her for me
And if they praise war
Tell them

I didn’t want to die
I didn’t want to kill
I was only
To come back home...

Keep Moving

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Mother said, Keep your hands on the wheel
When the storm comes, never yield
She gave me an axe and a scar to bear
Said, Carry both, and don’t complain

Salt on my skin, hands on the line
The sea taught me everything
Let the ship roll, let the waves rise
If I fall, I’ll get up and fight

Hold on tight
I’m standing here
Her voice in my head
Still in my ear

Hold on tight
Hear me sing
Her courage lives
In everything

I’m my mother’s daughter
I bend, I don’t break
I’m my mother’s daughter
I don’t run from the waves

Keep on
I’m my mother’s daughter
Keep on
I’ll weather every storm
I’m my mother’s daughter
And I won’t turn back

They said, Stay ashore, don’t sail far
You’re only a woman, know who you are
But I hauled the nets and stitched the sails
Stared straight into the gale

I’ve seen strong men fall to their knees
Seen fear rise like the sea
When the mast broke, I stayed on deck
Cold cut my face, but I still stood there

Hold on tight
I’m standing here
Her voice in my head
Still in my ear

Hold on tight
Hear me sing
Her courage lives
In everything

I’m my mother’s daughter
I bend, I don’t break
I’m my mother’s daughter
I don’t run from the waves

Keep on
I’m my mother’s daughter
Keep on
I’ll weather every storm
I’m my mother’s daughter
I take what I take

Let the whole sky fall on me
Let the waves crash over the deck
When the boards give way beneath us
I’ll be the one still standing there

I don’t wait to be rescued
I won’t kneel before the sea
My mother said, Keep moving
That’s what lives inside of me

I’m my mother’s daughter
I bend, I don’t break
I’m my mother’s daughter
I don’t run from the waves

Keep on
I’m my mother’s daughter
Keep on
I’ll weather every storm
I’m my mother’s daughter
I take what I take

Kanda ve Ruhta

Tün boz dalağa qanat jaydı
Ay taularğa nūrın tökti
Jel köne attardı oyattı
Ata ruhın alıp keldi

Taudan jalğız böri tüsti
Közinde ot, qarda izi bar
Ündemey alğa jürdi
Men de soñınan erdim

Köne tañba tastarda tur
Köne ot külde äli bar
Kök Tengri joğarıdan qarar
Jer-Su bizge quwat berer

Biz temirden tuğan joqpız
Ottan tuğan köne elbiz
Dayın jolmen jürgen joqpız
Joldı özimiz aşqanbız

Altın üşin emes
Taq üşin emes
Ata atı joğalmasın
Tuğan jer iesiz qalmasın

Aldımda boz böri izi
Üstimde Kök Tengri
Ayağım astında ata jer
Mağan tağı ne kerek

Qılış tot basar, tas uatılar
At şarşar, adam da keter
Biraq töre qalğan jerde
Boz dalanıñ ruhı ölmes

Bir küni temir qayta qızar
Balğa tağı kökke köteriler
Jabıq jol qayta aşılğanda
Boz dala qayta oyanar

Türik — Kök astında tuğan el
Jelmen jürip, dalanı meken etken
Söndi degende külden ot jaqqan
Jol joq degende jol aşqan

Jol joq degende
JOL AŞQAN

Bazı yollar toprağa yazılmaz
Bazı yollar taşta da kalmaz
Onlar kanda ve ruhtadır

No Crown

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Cold was the northern rain
Dark was the open sea
I left the fading shore
And carried what was me

No crown beneath my feet
No kingdom at my door
I watched my old home fade
And sailed toward something more

The sea forgot my name
The night concealed the way
But every rising wave
Still pulled me toward the day

I lost the road behind me
But never lost my flame

No crown
No chain
No borrowed name

Through the dark
Through the rain

No king
No fear
Could choose my way

I made my own
I made my own way

They called the north too cold
They called the sea my grave
But stone became my home
And storms became my strength

No sword is in my hand
No armor on my skin
The hardest wars we fight
Are fought somewhere within

The life behind still called me
I chose another way

No crown
No chain
No borrowed name

Through the dark
Through the rain

No king
No fear
Could choose my way

I made my own
I made my own way

When every fire dies
A spark can still remain
When every road is gone
We carve another way

The sea may take the past
The wind may change our name
But what survives the storm
Will never be the same

No crown
No chain
No borrowed name

Through the dark
Through the rain

No king
No fear
Could choose my way

I made my own
I made my own way

Beyond the northern storm
I found my own shore

They buried my old life
So I carried what remained
Out beyond the harbor
Into wind and rain

Say My Name

Read lyricsClose lyrics

You came in loud
With your brave face on
Armor made of talk
But it cracks so soon

I saw the shake
Behind your grin
All that iron air
And the fear within

Raise it high
Keep it up
Hold that pose
While it falls apart

Take your stance
Say your line
I can wait
I’ve got all night

Raise your shield, pretend you’re strong
I won’t be merciful for long
Raise your shield, hold on tight
I can see through every lie

Raise your shield, pretend you’re strong
I won’t be merciful for long
Say my name, bite that flame
You won’t walk away the same

Now you pace that line
Like you own the room
But your hands give off
What your mouth won’t do

Every little boast
Every hard-eyed stare
You keep calling it war
But you’re halfway there

Raise it high
Keep it up
Hold that pose
While it falls apart

Take your stance
Say your line
I can wait
I’ve got all night

Raise your shield, pretend you’re strong
I won’t be merciful for long
Raise your shield, hold on tight
I can see through every lie

Raise your shield, pretend you’re strong
I won’t be merciful for long
Say my name, bite that flame
You won’t walk away the same

Go on, swing first
If that’s your truth
I’ve read this look
And I’ve read you

No more bluff
No more show
When the dust drops down
You’ll already know

Raise your shield, pretend you’re strong
I won’t be merciful for long
Raise your shield, hold on tight
I can see through every lie

Raise your shield, pretend you’re strong
I won’t be merciful for long
Say my name, bite that flame
You won’t walk away the same

Blod og Jord

Read lyricsClose lyrics

Under grå
Død vinterhimmel
Står vi tause
Hånd mot jord
Navn i snøen
Gamle sår
Puster dypt i kaldt nord

Gamle skjold i mørke kamre
Rust og blod på tre og stål
Stirrer tilbake
Øyne tomme
Taler stille
Tungt som bål

Blod og jord
Vi bærer deres navn i arr
Blod og jord
Deres rop i våre svar
Syng dem hjem
Fra skygger over fjell og hav
Blod og jord
Vi minnes alt de ga

Kvinnesang bak svarte furuer
Barnestemmer druknet ut
Aske ligger tung på tunger
Ord blir stein
Og stein blir brutt

Vi tenner ild ved gamle varder
Gir vårt pust til glødens sang
Lar vårt hjerte slå i takt med
Trommens sakte
Døve klang

Blod og jord
Vi bærer deres navn i arr
Blod og jord
Deres rop i våre svar
Syng dem hjem
Fra skygger over fjell og hav
Blod og jord
Vi minnes alt de ga

Kom igjen
Dere falne fedre (hey)
Kom igjen
Dere brødre små
Gjennom vind som river sjelen
Hører vi dere gå

Blod og jord
Vi bærer deres navn i arr
Blod og jord
Deres rop i våre svar
Syng dem hjem
Fra skygger over fjell og hav
Blod og jord
Vi minnes alt de ga

Remembrance

Stille jord
Kald og rød
Frost på stål
Navn som falt i glød
Du bar skjold
Jeg bar ord
Du gikk frem
Jeg ble ved vår jord

Blodets minne
Bær det tungt
I vår jord
I vår sang
Brødres skygger
Gå ved meg
Til mitt hjerte ikke mer kan

Gamle trær
Hvisker svakt
Vind i bark
Taler om din makt
Morens sorg
Fars tomme blikk
Barnets hånd
Som aldri fant deg slik

Blodets minne
Bær det tungt
I vår jord
I vår sang
Brødres skygger
Gå ved meg
Til mitt hjerte ikke mer kan

Blodets minne
Bær det tungt
I vår jord
Til mitt hjerte ikke mer kan
Kom
Min bror
Fra din dype jord
Gå ved meg
Til vi deler ord

Blodets minne
Bær det tungt
I vår jord
I vår sang (åh–åh)
Brødres skygger
Gå ved meg
Til mitt hjerte ikke mer kan

Blodets minne
Bær det tungt
I vår jord

Brødres skygger
Gå ved meg
Til mitt hjerte ikke mer kan

Jeg står her
Du er alt som døde
