[Female – soft gothic] Beyond the reach of the northern gale A land of light that can never fail Where the sun forgets to set or rise And the people live beneath endless skies They dance in the fields that never grow cold Their years are long and their stories old No winter touches the sacred ground Where the last wind dies without a sound [Male – hard modern rock/metal] I walked through the ice with a frozen heart Chasing the place that could make me start Every step farther, the cold grows deep The north keeps its silence and never lets me sleep [Both] North of the Last Wind Where the light was never sold We came with hunger in our bones Searching for a home we never owned [Female – switches to cheery pop] Sunlight dances on the endless plain I almost believe the legends remain Voices of laughter, faces of gold Calling me softly out of the cold [Male – hard modern rock/metal] But the ice takes more than it ever gives It tests the will of those who live No gates of summer, no endless day Only the white that claims my way [Both] North of the Last Wind Where the light was never sold We came with hunger in our bones Searching for a home we never owned [Male – hard modern rock/metal bridge] Feel the freeze of a thousand years Feel the weight of a thousand fears Every traveler left the same With nothing but a forgotten name [Female – soft gothic] If the people still walk those perfect lands Do they know the ones with empty hands The greatest treasure was never the sun But the peace we could never become [Both – full power] North of the Last Wind Still shines where the cold is gone We left our footprints in the snow And the silence claimed what we tried to know North of the Last Wind Keeps the secret in the white We came looking for a land of light And left with only the endless night [Outro – Female into Both] Somewhere the sun still stays… Somewhere the wind still fades…
