**Friend from the Far North**

lyrics and music by Sasha Tkachuk

I walked through snow and the silence of years,
Searching in everything for at least someone's trace.
The world was like ice, empty, and mute,
Until you became my fate.

You were there, where the light fades in the sky,
Where the north wind cuts like a blade.
I found you, as one finds a dream
In this cold, forgotten land.

You are my friend, you are my light,
My truth among all these years.
If you suddenly leave, I will disappear myself.
I will follow you, even into the final fog.

You gave me what I never knew,
You are the fire that never died within me.
We laughed as if we were children,
Though the world was harsh, colorless, without summer.
But inside, a fear like a black glacier,
That one day you'll say, "I'm sorry."
I'm not with you...
I am ready to die so that you may live.
I would tear the sky out if you asked.

You are my friend, you are my light,
My truth among all these years.
If you suddenly leave, I will disappear myself.
I will follow you, even into the final fog.

I'm not afraid of pain or evil.
I'm only afraid that you won't become mine...
...forever...
You are my north, my home, my call,
My only friend,
My eternal love.
