NORTHERN COLD


 


It is a good day to die! Brother,


But why?


Look around you, see the sky,


Know why!


Take from within, your life thread,


Be free!


There is no place to rest, for you,


For me!


 


Our time has passed away,


But why?


Ask of the wind, wait the reply,


No sigh!


Listen to the call, through one


Who leads!.


Lift up your voice, you run,


He pleads!


 


Follow the footsteps in the snow.


But why?


Search for the answer, tell no lie.


Don't cry!


Open your heart, take courage, receive,


Be fed!


Give of your strength, your depth,


Be led!


 


It is a good day to die! Brother,


But when?


The sun rises to bring light to all,


Just men!


Hide away beneath the mist,


Your gift!


Struggle within, without the praise,


Be raised!


 


Long is the path you must take,


Alone!


Walk in your shoes, be tall,


Be strong!


Your spirit speaks to many,


Keep on!


Fly forward above the land,


Above man!


 


It is a good day to be born! Brother,


To share!


Take the message you are given,


With speed!


We will reach out, together,


Be there!


Let us help each other, support


Our needs.
