The First Dawn

[Extended Instrumental Intro – 45–60 Seconds: Solo Bone Flute, Wind Through Pine Forest, Flowing River, Distant Raven Calls] [Verse 1] [Male] The morning breaks... Across the stone... The frost gives way... The earth comes home... The silent hills... Awake once more... To greet the light... They've known before... [Chorus] [Both] Rise with the morning... Rise with the sun... After the darkness... A new day has begun... Stone remembers... Rivers run... Every ending... Greets the dawn... [Instrumental – Tagelharpa, Bone Flute, Nordic Lyre] [Verse 2] [Female] The forests wake... The rivers shine... The mountain calls... Through space and time... The fire returns... To every home... No heart will ever... Walk alone... [Bridge] [Male] The longest winter... Always fades... [Female] The brightest sunrise... Always waits... [Both] Hold the fire... Hold the light... Carry hope... Beyond the night... [Final Chorus] [Both] Rise with the morning... Rise with the sun... After the darkness... A new day has begun... Hand in hand... Side by side... Like the rivers... Like the tide... Stone remembers... Fire remains... The north remembers... Every name...
