The Night - Raven Astrid

Feel
The cold beneath your hands
Taste the salt upon your lips
Hear the old wind call your name
The shore is fading now.
Your mother
Stands beside the fire.
Your father
Watches from the storm.
No one says the word by, but still you know
The har grow small behind us.
The mountains disappear and gray.
You hold
The a little tighter as home is carried away.
And when the dark comes over the water, look beside you
We are still here.
Roll with us into the night under the stars.
Beyond the light
To the old
Hold to your heart.
The sea may take us
Far from home, but never who we are
Cold rain runs across your forehead
Black waves rise against above.
The wind
Is torn.
The sky wide open.
There is no
Turning now.
You hear the wooden hole
Beneath you.
You hear a hund voices breeze.
Some carry names of living fathers.
Some carry names they still
Must grieve.
And somewhere beyond the storm, a small fire is waiting.
Someone
Still remembers you
Roll with us into the night under the stars beyond the light.
Hold to the earth
Hold to your heart.
The sea may take us
Far from home.
But never who we are
One day
Our hands will leave these halls.
One day
Our footsteps leave the shore.
But the songs we carried with us will travel
Farther than we do.
And when another
Soul hears them, we will be there too
We are not gone.
We carry on.
Through
With us
Into the night
Raise your voice beneath the northern lights.
Hold to the old to your heart
The sea may take us far from home but never roll with us.
Whatever may come through.
Wind and rain through all we
Have lost.
And if someday you cannot
Find the shore, listen, listen to the sea
It remembers
Us all.
The night is gone
We carry on
