Empire of the North lyrics

By the foot of the mountain

My forebears recount

Stood a hovel forlorn down by the bay

And at the edge of the sky

There's a fire as they fly

By the misty and magic break of day

Home bound

To old ground

They return from the east

In rain and thunder

Unconcerned to the north

With trade and plunder

And so many fell

We built mounds where they dwell

For the empire of the north

Far back east and down south

Whisperings, word of mouth

They found riches untold from far and wide

And on the isle in the lake

They left wealth in their wake

And a great sense of welldeserved pride

Home bound

To old ground

They return from the east in

Rain and thunder

Unconcerned to the north

With trade and plunder

And so many fell

We built mounds where they dwell

For the empire of the north

Home bound

To old ground

They return from the east

In rain and thunder

Unconcerned to the north

With trade and plunder

Without grief or guilt

For descendants they built

Us and empire of the north

They return from the east

In rain and thunder

Unconcerned to the north

With trade and plunder

And so many fell

We built mounds where they dwell

For the empire of the north
