Goashem Lyrics

I close my eyes to see within myself
As the first snow falls on me
I close my ears to hear my inner voice
And the cold wind freezes me

This is my land, our holy land
I don’t want to leave this place
But there are unholy men all around us
And they want to take it away
Their hearts are filled with mean passion...
Red blood on their hands
Tonight is the last night
We're a part of this land

I open my eyes and my ears
I see nothing but darkness
I hear the wind behind the distant hills
Far beyond this vale

Chorus

I am Alge from the land of Wuowjoš
The only son of Goashem
I’m the leader of these people now
From the vale of white reindeer

Chorus 1

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song has some words from the Saame language:

Goashem = goas'kem = an eagle Alge = a son Wuowjoš = Lapland

whoa, sweet. sami. that's really cool.

lesse, i shall try to interperate. man, that's depressing. i think this refers to the time when probably christians were invading and trying to convert people to their faith. the narrator is sami (a nomadic tribe of north scandinavia, lappland as it were). i can't really tell about anything else...
