lyrics

Spring comes to Kirrie, all the world’s in bloom
Winter is forgotten now, fooled by April’s broom
Kirrie, oh Kirrie, you were once my home
til Vanya’s bloody purpose hit its aim

CHORUS:
But the snow returns in Autumn when the wind rakes the trees
And the summer lies forgotten in it’s cold bed of leaves
When winter begins, mind aye Vanya, it wasn’t only thine
Who lay slaughtered on the fields of Vanaheim

Healer, oh healer, leave me with the pain
Save your power for others who will surely rise again
Healer, oh healer, leave my blood to pour
Let it drain into the bitter clay once more

CHORUS

Daughter, oh daughter, listen now to me
Never wed a soldier or a widow you will be
Daughter, oh daughter, it will doom your lad to die
If he catches the recruiting sergeant’s eye

CHORUS

Vanya, oh Vanya, war was all your game
Battlefield your table, Norscan throne your aim
Vanya, oh Vanya, we both lived the same
Training laddies not to fear the battle’s flame

CHORUS x2
