Who are you warlike men
Wearing grey armor that is stained by rust?
Breaking the ocean surge

Warden of deserted shores
Stands on his abandoned coast
Leading troops over the sea

None of them have landed yet
One last sleep 'till the end


Mother ocean, spread your arms around me
Mother ocean, let your children come towards me
Under my lonely sky

He is no common man
And when the raven died
I stared into his cold eyes

I saw it all unfold
And saw what this life was about


Beneath my wings my brothers lie
When the fierce winds hurtle by
On either side and beneath my breast

Our sons have known no other rest

Old mighty father, lead us far

With hope and songs of love and war
Over the black sea and white foam
From here their children will find home

Remember days from long ago
Slowly we wander to and fro
But now dead winds that blur the light

Pierce deep our feathers thin and light

Beneath my wings my brothers lie

When the fierce winds hurtle by
On either side and beneath my breast
Our sons have known no other rest


Beneath my wings my brothers lie
When the fierce winds hurtle by

On either side and beneath my breast
Our sons have known no other rest
