"Beyond the fjords where shadows fallโ
A tale of loss echoes through it all."
In the summer of a distant year
The coast was breached by a foreign fear
Ships with sails of a distant shore
Came to claim what they had never known before
The villagers fell to chains and might
Dragged away into endless night
Their homes were left to empty airโ
A silence that would never repair
The winds howled loud as they sailed awayโ
A people lost to a distant bay
Barbary captives! Hearts in chains!
A people torn from their native plains!
Through storm and fire, their souls remainโ
A testament to love and pain!
In the markets of a foreign land
They were sold as slaves with no command
Their dreams were lost in endless toilโ
Their hearts still yearned for a distant soil
But even in bondage, they held on tightโ
To memories of their icy light
Their stories told in whispers deepโ
A longing for freedom they could not keep
The years went by like falling snowโ
Their hopes were kept in a distant glow
Barbary captives! Hearts in chains!
A people torn from their native plains!
Through storm and fire, their souls remainโ
A testament to love and pain!
"In foreign lands, their hearts remained
Forever bound to their homeland's pain."
Now centuries pass but the tale remainsโ
A haunting echo of endless pains
Their descendants still tell the taleโ
Of a people strong, of a nation frail
For every wave that breaks on the shore
Their memory echoes forevermore
A tale retold in the frozen airโ
A testament to a pain they bear
Barbary captives! Hearts in chains!
A people torn from their native plains!
Through storm and fire, their souls remainโ
A testament to love and pain!
Barbary captives! Their legacy lives!
A nation's heart that forever gives!
"The winds still whisper
Their stories told..."
