Beyond the palisade where the cold winds roam The wildlands wait beyond our home Blue runes hum beneath the stone Thorsec guards what we call our own The moon hangs pale above the pine Silver frost on the border line Wolves move silent through the night Testing shadows beyond the light Along the ditch where the dark roots creep Ancient runes refuse to sleep Stone by stone they softly glow Watching paths where strangers go The forest whispers, the raven cries A hidden shape beneath the skies But the faithful barrier never bends Where Thorsec watches, danger ends Beyond the palisade The shadows roam But runes of blue Protect our home Thorsec stands Where the borders lie A shield of light Beneath the northern sky Beyond the palisade The darkness calls But none shall pass The watchful walls A stranger moves through drifting fog Past ancient oak and fallen log One step taken, then another still Toward the sleeping village hill The stones awaken with silent fire Blue spirits dancing through the wire No sword is raised, no battle cry Yet fear awakens in the sky The warning flows from rune to rune Like lightning dancing beneath the moon The hidden threat is seen afar Before it reaches gate or bar Beyond the palisade The shadows roam But runes of blue Protect our home Thorsec stands Where the borders lie A shield of light Beneath the northern sky Beyond the palisade The darkness calls But none shall pass The watchful walls The hearth burns warm inside the hall Children sleep behind the wall They never hear the forest sigh They never see the danger nigh For while they dream and stars remain The blue runes sing across the plain An unseen shield, steadfast and true A bond of light forever blue Beyond the palisade The shadows roam But runes of blue Protect our home Thorsec watches Night and day Turning would-be foes away Beyond the palisade The cold winds cry Yet safe we stand Beneath the northern sky Thorsec guards The paths unknown And keeps the border Of our home Beyond the palisade... The runes still glow... Thorsec watches... And the village sleeps below...
