I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
Of people long ago
And people who will see a world
that I shall never know

I sit beside the fire and think
Of older times
Of older times that were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at my door

On high above the mists I came
A distant flame before the sun
A wonder ere the waking dawn
Where grey the Nordland waters run
Where grey the Nordland waters run
In elder days and years of yore

Now behold the awful prize of treason!
Through dreams I influence mankind.

Samples from the movies Braveheart (1995) &
Legend (1985)
