Autograph

Whalebones and crosses 
 Stand against the Arctic sky. 
 The wind blows through the graveyard, 
 Where our fallen fathers lie. 
 Eternal snow that covers them. 
 The shadows of the sun. 
 The mighty struggle on the seas. 
 A way of life is run. 
 I'll sing for you my father. 
 For the ancient sacred ways 
 How the hunter loved the hunted. 
 How the night becomes the day 
 The circle of the mighty spirit 
 Keeps us in its fold. 
 The warmth of understanding like 
 A light shot through the cold 
 Then bring to me my people. 
 Touch them with your loving hands 
 Lead them from confusion. 
 Lead them back unto the land. 
 For sickness seems to block their path. 
 It clouds my people's eyes. 
 The promise that an idle truth 
 Will reap a golden lie. 
 Whalebones and crosses 
 Stand against the Arctic sky. 
 The wind blows through the graveyard, 
 Where our fallen fathers lie. 
 The timeless hunt a journey back 
 To what we once came from. 
 Compassion and nobility 
 Beneath the Midnight Sun. 
 The mighty struggle on the seas. 
 A way of life is run.
