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

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
