One Home Of Once Brave

Nachtfalke

Out of the water 
The cold black Nordic sky 
Risen towards the eternal sky 
The land lays open and free 

Up high the Mountains 
Where the wind catch its speed and chill 
Snowstorms are born 
And rage loud through the valleys and the hills 

Above two Ravens 
Messengers of the wise One eyed God 
Who rules this land 
Of the strong and the great 

And tall 
Beautiful 
Behold this thy land 
Open and free 
This thy home of the brave 

Dark endless forest 
Where at the day hides the shadows of the night 
Snowcovered vast lands 
As great as the eternal sky 

Now in the midst 
Of this wild and this open and free 
He placed my kind 
To possess this their land to be 

Above two Ravens 
Messengers of the wise one eyed God 
Who ruled this land 
Of once strong and once great 

But now 
Forgetting to behold this their land 
Once ours (once) free 
This my home of once brave
