Kiuas - And The North Star Cried

Long ago when the gods were still young and guarded the heavens With might the four furious winds swept across the snows Proud, fearless and free the children of Ukko walked the Earth And at dusk they sang anthems to the welkin and their beloved North Star ...And still she smiled upon the Earth Through these lands of ice the North Star once led our way Now blood covers the frozen ground scarred by an eerie sound as the North Star cries in pain On the darkest of winters evil arrived from across the sea Disguised as a wooden cross -as the coming of salvation Death and destruction they brought and clashes of steel filled the nights And the North Star watched as the blood of her children flowed ...And her tears fell upon the Earth Our fathers' blood was spilled on the ice And the North Star cried in the night Our beloved gods were violently driven to exile Gone are the days of the North Star's reign, Now her tears are all that remain But one day they'll wash the blood away and the spirit that once died Shall rise again!
