Motherland Lyrics
The Old Firm Casuals
Lyrics
My soul is free and my heart is warm
I'm here to face the coming storm
In the freeze you know I was battle born
I hope to take my last breaths
Where the ice comforts me in my death
In the fire and the smoke I will be carried home
So
Take me to the ice and snow
And the funeral pyre steams the cold
Set me free where the north winds blow
Over the motherland
The motherland
Take me to the ice and snow
Where the warriors sing below
Let their stories be taught and told
Over the motherland
Place the runes upon my eyes
The rainbow bridge in my path it lies
My journey has begun and I will walk alone
This life's a battle and death will come
I greet the peace cause I have won
I'll rise from the ashes like I've always done
So
Take me to the ice and snow
And the funeral pyre steams the cold
Set me free where the north winds blow
Over the motherland
The motherland
Take me to the ice and snow
Where the warriors sing below
Let their stories be taught and told
Over the motherland
The motherland
Take me to the ice and snow
And the funeral pyre steams the cold
Set me free where the north winds blow
Over the motherland
The motherland
Take me to the ice and snow
Where the warriors sing below
Let their stories be taught and told
Over the motherland
The motherland
The motherland
The motherland
