the northern sea
holds deep within
a tale to tell of grief
letters of the dead
they could not send

the tales of fate and destiny
of souls who died
sudden & many

the keepers of the Fjords
within the depths hold
letters from the dead
both young & old

from the north
to the south
from the east
to the west

the sea carries ahead
lamentations to the ones
who still grieve their dead

within the sacred depths
the keepers will keep
all memory alive
their remembrance as they sleep
