Northern Lights

(album: North From Here - 1993)

At the dawn
The golden moon was shining bright
With the silvery eyes of death

They had seen me salute the flames in the sky

Northern lights
Northern lights
While you were asleep I was awake to be part of the dark
While you were asleep I was awake to find the truth I had sought for
Through all my life

Taken by the North wind blow
Into the icy abyss of colours
As I fulfilled my true self
I know your world is not for me

I am not one of them

Aurora Borealis
A part of me still in the sky

In the light of the golden moon
In the light of the silvery eyes of the night

I wandered through fire through ice
To the valley of the shadow of death

Northern lights
Be part of the dark
While you were asleep I was awake to find the truth I had sought for
Through all my life

Aurora Borealis
A part of me still in the sky
