[00:20.566]We do not fear the long ships
[00:23.475]We've seen long ships before
[00:26.283]Men sailed here from the Northlands
[00:29.399]And hauled their boats ashore
[00:32.620]They brought with them their music
[00:35.528]Their language and their lore
[00:38.952]And they burned their boats and stayed here on the Islands
[00:46.477]It's midday in the wintertime
[00:49.529]Before the moon goes pale
[00:52.547]The winter songs are very long
[00:55.688]The storm winds and the gales
[00:58.672]The midnightsun's as distant
[01:01.418]As the calling of the whales
[01:06.318]Till spring returns again to paint the Islands
[01:13.881]The grey seals and the otter
[01:16.848]The salmon and the char
[01:19.791]The land locked and the sea trapped
[01:23.007]The free birds in the air
[01:25.998]The shepherd and the farmer
[01:29.141]And all those in their care
[01:32.296]Harmonize the music of the Islands
[02:01.076]We never feared the long ships
[02:04.536]Till the coming of the Braer
[02:07.154]The roaring sea in anger threw
[02:09.747]That broken boat ashore
[02:13.140]Spilled fuel enough to take that ship
[02:16.246]Twice round the world or more
[02:19.713]Filled the air with oil to paint the Islands
[02:31.720]As if the sea had realized
[02:34.513]The tragedy in store
[02:37.677]Its waves continued pounding
[02:40.653]About a week or more
[02:43.752]Most of the crude was washed away
[02:46.758]And never came ashore
[02:49.812]And the sea regained its temper round the Islands
[03:06.571]So may this be a warning
[03:09.578]To those whose faceless greed
[03:12.611]Would sail close to our shoreline
[03:15.829]To save both fuel and speed
[03:19.271]The sea is our protector
[03:21.781]Provider of our needs
[03:25.603]And a jealous guard and keeper of these Islands
