Music & Lyrics: M. Korsback

A long time ago in the night: Many men dressed in
white, ready to fight, For their land and to be
free. Driven by hatred and fear, and love to a
land in despair, which they had to bear. Oh their
hearts were full of hope and dreams.

Bridge: 1
But they had to stand the pain. To have a chance
to live again. The nights were so cold many died
while sleeping, God it was cold even the sun was
freezing. Even the stars seemed to freeze upon the
sky.

The fear was so strong on both sides, many men
lost their pride, broke down and cried. They could
feel the end approach inside. The air was so cold
and so dry, that their bodies told lies, about
condition and time. Before their eyes their lives
were passing by.

But they had to carry on. You don't survive if
you're not strong. The nights were so cold many
died while sleeping, God it was cold even the sun
was freezing. Even the stars seemed to freeze upon
the sky.

There's no more crying, and no more dying. Forever
standing strong, we will carry on. We live with
pleasure, the fear is gone, In the land of the
wintersun.
