The Land

歌詞

This land is mine to the end of time none it shall claim or conquer the mountains high : the endless sky the forests and the sea Oh land rejoice : your son has sailed beyond the seas : adventurous trail now heading north : to Asa Bay my place of birth : home of the brave A man he may wither away or die in battle with sword in hand but the river will flow and the wind will blow forever across my northern land This land is mine to the end of time none it shall claim or conquer the mountains high : the endless sky the forests and the sea Oh fatherland : oh Northstar high two hundred days and night have I been away from you my hearts most dear returning home : great wealth to share Work those oars : the wind is still no southern breeze our sail to fill the dusk is here and our bay is far the Dragon soon to sweep the night so work these oars an Sorsemen : brother's row The land where deep in heavyturf the bones and crushed skulls testify the violent times and troubled days when land was claimed and paid for in blood and human lives The land where gold of star will glow in silvery water and on black wings high the ravens soar above the glade where as child I was baptised in fire and ice
