Up high and far away, where the air is clear

A vast horizon shimmers

The cold wind seems to carry the light away

As the earth's rotation closes the day

Beyond the towering peaks

Recurring shadows bow deep

Into the raging rivers

The ground runs cold and hard

Throughout the dark season

Roots grow deep in order to keep

Clinging to the gusty plains

The wind hushes the earth to sleep

The ebb and flow of growth and regression

Seasons build, seasons tear down

The northern hammer

Keeps beating, beating

Hear the echoes rumble

Summers reveal, winters conceal

The thunderous sky oversees it all

Up north and far away, where the air is clear

Vast horizons call

The mighty force of winter

Shapes a merciless scenery

Throughout the dark seasons

Roots grow deep in order to keep

Clanging to the gusty plains

The wind hushes the earth to sleep

The ebb and flow of growth and regression

Seasons build, seasons tear down

The northern hammer

Keeps beating, beating

Hear the echoes rumble

Across the thunderous sky
