Northern Lights
I´ve always had a fascination for the Northern Lights, I dream to have the chance to see this "dancing spirits" in the sky one day. Northern Lights has an ecological message and is dedicated to the dying Arctic that is withering because of the global warming. It's the journey of an artic wolf back to the north to see all the animals that are dissapearing in the dancing northern lights, and finally sleep and vanish in the sky being part of them.
For me it's always been portrayed like a ghostly eerie spectacle and that made me think inmediately about The Underliving. I also read that when a blast of Northern Lights reach the Earth, there's an increase of ghost sightings and people with sleep paralysis and temporal lobe epilepsy suffer from it even more, staining the experience with an even more mysterious atmosphere.

I'm wandering alone
in the silent snow
heading back to the North
where old things untold
icy and cold
melt and go
in a sunless dawn
Black canvas now covered
with colourful strokes
painting the Heaven´s Vault
Oh Northern light!
Cleave this deathless night
lingering above embroidering the sky
Oh Northern light!
Weave the wispy haze
to behold that eerie beauty in a daze
Painting the Heaven´s Vault
Oh Northern Light!
cleave this deathless night
lingering above
embroidering the sky
Estoy errando solo
por la nieve silenciosa
dirigiéndome de nuevo
hacia el Norte
donde viejas cosas que no se cuentan
heladas y frías
se derriten y desaparecen
en un amanecer sin sol
Un lienzo negro
ahora cubierto
con pinceladas de color
que pintan la bóveda celeste
Oh luz del norte,
rasga esta noche sin fin
y permanece haciendo encajes en el cielo
Oh luz del norte,
teje esa tenue neblina
para que pueda contemplar
su fantasmagórica belleza con asombro
Pintando la bóveda celeste
Oh luz del norte,
rasga esta noche sin fin
y permanece haciendo encajes en el cielo
