[A Long Time Ago]

[Lyrics by Grutle Kjellson 1995]

[Music by Ivar Bjornson 1995]
|
|
Hymns were sung
|
In the times when our people still were proud
|
In the long gone past
|
A long time ago
|
|
Then came the disease
|
The disease from south
|
Deception and false knowledge
|
Infected our minds
|
|
Survival of the fittest was forgotten
|
But still it didn't disappear
|
Beneath the layers of a thousand years of deception
|
Burns the ancient northern thoughts
|
|
Fight! Don't let your powers disappear
|
Our sunset shall also be our dawn
|
|
They burned our temples
|
They killed our men
|
We shall take back
|
What once were ours
|
|
Fight! Deny not your mind
|
Our sunset shall also be our dawn
|
|
We shall once again sing
|
Hymns from ancient times
|
Like we did in those days
|
A long time ago
|
