    Verse 1
    Whalebones 
    and 
    crosses 

    Stand 
    against 
    the arctic 
    sky 

    Wind 
    blows 
    through 
    the 
    graveyard 

    Where 
    our 
    fallen 
    fathers 
    lie 

    Verse 2
    Eternal 
    snow 
    that 
    covers 
    them 

    The shadows 
    of 
    the sun 

    The mighty 
    struggle 
    on 
    the seas 

    way 
    of 
    life 
    is 
    run 

    Verse 3

    I'll 
    sing 
    for 
    you 
    my father 

    For the 
    ancient 
    sacred 
    ways 

    How the 
    hunter 
    loved 
    the hunted 

    How 
    the night 
    becomes 
    the 
    day 

    Verse 4
    The circle 
    of 
    the 
    mighty 
    spir
    it 

    Keeps 
    us 
    in 
    its 
    fold 

    The 
    warmth 
    of 
    under
    standing 

    Like 
    a light 
    shot 

    through 
    the cold 

    Verse 5

    Then 
    bring 
    to 
    me 
    my 
    people 

    Touch 
    them 
    with 
    your 

    loving 
    hand

    Lead 
    them 
    from 
    con
    fusion 

    Lead 
    them 
    back 
    un
    to 
    the land 

    Verse 6
    For a 
    sickness 
    seems 

    to block 
    their 
    path 

    It clouds 
    my 
    peoples 
    eyes 

    The promise 
    that 
    an 
    idle 
    truth 

    Will 
    reap 
    golden 
    lie 


    Verse 7
    Whalebones 
    and 
    crosses 

    Stand 
    against 
    the 
    arctic 
    sky 

    The wind 
    blows 
    through 

    the graveyard 

    Where our 
    fallen 
    fathers 
    lie 

    Verse 8
    The timeless 
    hunt 
    journey 
    back 

    To 
    what 
    we 
    once 
    came 
    from 

    Com
    passion 
    and 
    no
    bil
    ity 

    Be
    neath 
    the mid
    night 
    sun 

    Verse 9
    The 
    mighty 
    struggle 
    of 
    the seas 

    way 
    of 
    life 
    is 
    run

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
