Svanfridur "What Now You People Standing By"
(lyrics found)

* From album: "What's Hidden There?"

When a nation does have to suffer

Because of an unjust rule

When a nation does have to suffer

Because of a system cruel

It’s bleeding wounds will heal some day

No matter what you’ll say

Making this dream coming true

Will be the future of you

When a nation does have to suffer

Because of an unjust rule

When a nation does have to suffer

Because of a system cruel

The people’s power will be the task

Instead of an evil mask

Making this dream coming true

Will be the future of you

[What now you people standing by

Come now, you’ll soon be flying high] 2x

Way up high

When a nation’s thrown off its burden

Quit being a tyrant’s tool

When a nation’s thrown off its burden

Act in it bloody cool

Now all ideals so much longed for

Can exist like the mighty lore

Confiding in the people’s choice

Is now the singing voice

[What now you people standing by

Come now, you’ll soon be flying high] 2x

Way up high

When a nation’s caught in a trap

For trusting the image of man

When a nation’s caught in a trap

All feels as the devil’s ban

What now you people standing by

Come now or nation’s gonna die

What now you people standing by

Come now, you there way up in the sky...
