Midnight Sun

by Anchorsmashed x Lombolo

1.
For six long months we’ve been lost at sea With no way home in sight We left on a quest to the north for gold And foes to terrorise Only twenty days into our quest The navigator fell Now we sail these endless frozen seas In this cold and lifeless hell The clouds drift from the bleak dead sky Clearing up the path before our eyes A ray of hope comes shining down Showing us where we must go And the midnight sun will guide us through the snow And take us from the cold As we make our way back home And the midnight sun is shining overhead Bringing honour to the dead As they make their way to port HEAVE! HOH! Through the fog we see the fearsome gaze Of the norseman’s dragonship We lose our fear as their boat draws near And they join us on our trip With our new friends sailing by our side We can find our way back home Through the cold and snow and the dark we row Until we reach the northern shore The clouds drift from the bleak dead sky Clearing up the path before our eyes A ray of hope comes shining down Showing us where we must go And the midnight sun will guide us through the snow And take us from the cold As we make our way back home And the midnight sun is shining overhead Bringing honour to the dead As they make their way to port The clouds drift from the bleak dead sky Clearing up the path before our eyes A ray of hope comes shining down Showing us where we must go And the midnight sun will guide us through the snow And take us from the cold As we make our way back home And the midnight sun is shining overhead Bringing honour to the dead As they make their way to port HEAVE! HOH!

I sex hundra år har vi i is varit fast På ett nordligt fruset hav Vi bordade drakskepp mot nya land Nu är drauger allt som är kvar En kulen natt blev vi fångade i ett berg av frost och is Där sommarn biter som fruset regn och vintern tar ditt liv Ta en ändlös natt och gör till dag Släpp ut oss från vår frusna grav Låt ljuset stråla hopp och liv Midnattssol har satt oss fri Och midnattssolen leder oss i hamn Från den kalla vinterns land Ska vi nå våra fränders strand Och midnattssolen visar vägen ut För de döda som förfrust Genom kalla vindars tjut HEJ! HÅ! Dimman skingras och vi bemöts Av en stor och märklig båt De är också vilsna här till sjöss Och därför hjälps vi åt Med nya vänner vid vår sida Bryter vi is med Oden Genom kyla, snö och mörker vi ror Tills vi når vårt varma hem Ta en ändlös natt och gör till dag Släpp ut oss från vår frusna grav Låt ljuset stråla hopp och liv Midnattssol har satt oss fri Och midnattssolen leder oss i hamn Från den kalla vinterns land Ska vi nå våra fränders strand Och midnattssolen visar vägen ut För de döda som förfrust Genom kalla vindars tjut

about

MIDNIGHT SUN/MIDNATTSSOL is now out! Our latest collaboration with the Swedish folk metal powerhouse Lombolo tells the tale of pirates lost in the frozen seas to the North. Through the cold snow and icy waters they drift, devoid of hope and left to be damned... could the fabled Midnight Sun be the guiding light they need to find their way back home?

A moody and brooding storm awaits you, with chilling winds and huanting flute melodies... Be sure to listen to both the English and Swedish versions to get both sides of the story, for the Vikings have their own story to tell!
