"Nordlys"
:: l y r i c s ::
sights n sounds so rare the love springs up
from cracklin clarity and bouncing light

the earth freezes quiet so the dancing colors
can be heard clear across the Arctic night

unnatural sounds are so vile to this thing so grand
my heart almost shudders to a halt
as i watch the sky slide as though God Himself
were moving past

hushed i stare i almost fear to breathe
less the loudness of my breath
would be like askin God to leave
and i don't want that

so reason sets in and with child like faith
i know that God has set the northern lights a glow

the polar bear and the baby seal move across the Arctic ice
i got visions of eskimos thinkin a hot meal n a fur coat be nice

makin harpoons from whale bones
just tryin to feed the family
screamin like a bannshee flyin across the ice
has his heritage become just history

hushed i stare i almost fear to breathe
less the loudness of my breath
would be like askin God to leave
and i don't want that

so reason sets in and with child like faith
i know that God has set the northern lights a glow
