Northern Lights
Imperial Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once upon a time
In the land of snow
There was a great Empire.
Vanished long ago
The platoes of the Arctic
Spirit, valour and wisdom
Were their common traits
Under the Northern Lights
During a half-year night
Under the virgin snows
Ancient wisdom lies...
Descendants of Arctida!
Your hands and souls are weak
You traded yourselves for gold
Your values are so sleek...
Aim your lives at perfection
The legacy of the Wise
And banners of Hyperborea
Might once again arise...
Under the Northern Lights
During a half-year night
Under the virgin snows
Ancient wisdom lies...
Music & Lyrics by Aor
The lyrics of Imperial Age's song "Northern Lights" tell a story about a once great empire that existed in a snowy land. The empire has long since disappeared, but its memory remains. The Arctic plateaus were inhabited by a noble race characterized by their spirit, valor, and wisdom. These qualities were admired and shared by the people.
However, as time passed, the descendants of this noble race became corrupted. Instead of valuing the virtues that made their ancestors great, they succumbed to the allure of material wealth, represented by gold. They traded their integrity and moral values for personal gain.
The song then delivers a message to the descendants of this race, urging them to redirect their lives towards perfection and embrace the legacy of wisdom left by their ancestors. By doing so, the song suggests that the banners of Hyperborea, a mythical land associated with the Arctic region, might rise again.
Overall, "Northern Lights" reflects on the rise and fall of a once great empire and encourages the current generation to rediscover and preserve the wisdom and values of their forefathers.

Once upon a time
In a past era
In the land of snow
In a snowy location
There was a great Empire.
A powerful kingdom existed.
Vanished long ago
Disappeared many years ago.
The platoes of the Arctic
The plateaus in the Arctic region
Were home to a great race
Inhabited by an exceptional civilization
Spirit, valour and wisdom
Characterized by bravery and wisdom
Were their common traits
Shared qualities among them
Under the Northern Lights
In the presence of the aurora borealis
During a half-year night
In the darkness of a six-month night
Under the virgin snows
Beneath untouched snow
Ancient wisdom lies...
A treasure of ancient knowledge is hidden.
Descendants of Arctida!
Those who trace their ancestry to Arctida!
Your hands and souls are weak
Your capabilities and spirits are feeble.
You traded yourselves for gold
You exchanged your integrity for wealth.
Your values are so sleek...
Your principles have become shallow.
Aim your lives at perfection
Strive for excellence in everything you do.
The legacy of the Wise
The teachings left by the knowledgeable ones
And banners of Hyperborea
And the emblems of Hyperborea
Might once again arise...
Could potentially resurge once more.

This reminds me of Norwegian and Finnish nighty landscape, I haven't got the chance to be there, but anyway, if pictures and videos are amazing, I can't imagine how it would be in real life <3
