Transcript
00:21I learned my patience from the frozen ground
00:25Where buried roots still hold the mountain down
00:30Stone by stone, through winter and through rain
00:35The earth remembers every name
00:40The ravens cross the morning sky
00:43Black wings over fields of ice
00:46I heard the old ones in the pine
00:48Singing low through blood and time
00:52I don't need the crown, I know the soul
00:55And that is enough
00:57Ember is the reason we survived
01:01The wandering was not wasted
01:04It became our education
01:06I have loved you in the way that outlives firelight
01:11Old songs of the north carry me home
01:15Through the fjord, through the frost, through the bone
01:17I don't need the crown, I know the soul
01:20And that is enough
01:32The oldest trees have weathered axe and storm
01:36Their roots remember everyone before
01:41Some songs grow stronger when they're worn
01:46Like iron pulled from winter's forge
01:51Heard it in the longhouse, heard it on the hill
01:53Heard it where the dark sea never stills
01:55Every song and name beneath the stone
01:58Every voice returning
02:00I don't need the crown, I know the song
02:03I don't need the crown, I know the song
02:30And that is enough
02:40Ashtree standing where the cold winds bend
02:45Shading sons and daughters without end
02:49I have lived my years beside this stream
02:55Learning what the old songs mean
02:59No border holds the fire we keep
03:03No king can claim what memory sings
03:08The ancestors are near enough
03:14When the old songs rise from us
03:19I don't need the crown, I know the song
03:22And that is enough
03:25Amber is the reason we survive
03:28The wandering was not wasted
03:31It became our education
03:33I have loved you in the way that outlives firelight
03:38Old songs of the north carry me home
03:42Through the fjord, through the dust, through the bone
03:44I don't need the crown, I know the song
03:47And that is enough
03:57The old songs remember
04:02What the living forget
04:06The old songs remember
04:09And they are not finished yet
