[Verse] In the misty fjords Where the longboats sail A serpent swims with a silent wail Scales of silver Eyes of ancient lore Guiding ships to safe harbor's door [Verse 2] Whispers 'mong sailors By moon’s pale gleam Of a guardian beast in the darkened stream In the crushing depths Where no light can beam Protecting voyagers A hall of a dream [Chorus] Oh Serpent of the North Sea Ancient and wide With your waves Protect the tide In the whispers of the ocean We hear your song Guiding us ever Where we belong [Verse 3] Upon the salty breeze Her tales are spun Of lives she's saved ‘neath the midnight sun Ancient runes mark her watery roam A liquid guardian Leading us home [Verse 4] On stormy nights when the gales howl wild Her shadow looms And the seas are mild With a mighty crest through the tempest ride Holding sailors safely by her side [Chorus] Oh Serpent of the North Sea Vast and grand With your guardianship We safely land In the hidden currents Your power is strong Be our silent sentinel All night long
