The Snaefell Call

Intro – Sølvi

Peat smoke on the white hill

Salt wind, standing still

Verse 1 – Sølvi

I climbed with the embers in an iron pot

Gravel in my boots, my fingers raw

I set your bronze brooch on the cairn's flat stone

One pin, one fire, and the wind alone

Pre-Chorus – Sølvi

Three nights it burned

Three nights it snowed

Chorus – Sølvi & Rune

That was the Snaefell call

That was the Snaefell call

Fire on the mountain, burning low

That was the Snaefell call

Drop

Oh-oh, the Snaefell call

Oh-oh, the Snaefell call

Verse 2 – Rune

I saw it from the rowing bench

Gold on my arm, my cloak was drenched

Forty men waited on my word

I held the tiller and never turned

Pre-Chorus – Rune

Three nights I looked

Three nights I rowed

Chorus – Sølvi & Rune

That was the Snaefell call

That was the Snaefell call

Fire on the mountain, burning low

That was the Snaefell call

Bridge – Rune, whispered

The sea let go of me

I came back when the hills were bare

Gravel and ash, a bronze pin there

Cold as a blade in my palm

Bridge – Sølvi

You had the oars, you had the men

You chose the sea again

Final Chorus – Sølvi & Rune

That was the Snaefell call

That was the Snaefell call

Fire on the mountain, burning low

That was the Snaefell call

Outro – Rune

I heard the Snaefell call

I heard it, that was all
