They went to see the lights
through the dark woods of Kanur.
It was cold, silent and beautiful
and in the sky they found the trace
of Viryana's passage.
They went to recover the gleam
from the sombre caves of Shthi.
There were gold and steel and gems
and ancient treasure and bones,
all this they found.
They went to fortify their work
against misfortune and danger of war.
Deep inside the mountain secrets stirred,
from above the year demonstrated
its strength.
And the Northwind is blowing, the Northwind is blowing,
carrying the voices of darkness,
the Northwind is blowing, carrying away
all the time...
They fled the land of winter
through the dark woods of Kanur.
Cold and silent, as it had once been,
it became again. Soon
their traces were lost.
