Jarlshof - Tears of Sorrow Lyrics

Icy seas and pale blue skies in the land that we call home
Northern winds and darkened days where the winter is long

Can you hear the ravens craw
Atop the treeless hills
Watchful eyes of our ancestors
Weep tears of sorrow
If we forget
Where we came from
The days ahead will be dark and long
Our heritage lies forgotten

Icy rain and howling wind
Frothing seas that crash on rocks
Honour, valour lay forgotten
In the wasteland of our lives

Echoes of our past
Rings true in our blood
We must hold on to
The old ways
Despite what has come to pass
It's not too late
To live as an honourable man

In the winter nights, dark and long
I reflect on what we've become
I try hard to escape what I've been
As the shadows of the past scream my name

To take back past mistakes and sin
The past is hard to live with
I know I must push on, stay strong
Be a better man in the days to come

Echoes of our past
Rings true in our blood
We must hold on to
The old ways
Despite what has come to pass
It's not too late
To live as an honourable man
