Land of unforgiving winter Cold, clad in white, under a dark grey sky Silent, the wind, it whispers Pale sun of gold, gazing from far up high Endless forests, lakes of water dark and deep Misty mountains, where giants sleep Nordland High above all, the ravens Spreading their wings to fly to the hall up high Messengers of the all father Oden behold all with his one eye Eagle soaring, old crow cries This land and heaven, forever tied Nordland Cold the waves along the shoreline White wolfs realm from here to mountains high afar Land of ours since it rose out of deep cold sea Shine on our path, ye brightest of all, Northstar Foreverdark woods, cold winds sweep Barren landscape, untamed and bleak Nordland

All male, nine by nine, hanging gently, swaying in the wind The bark of ash absorbing the splattered heaps of blood For the return of the sun, a winter sacrifice Ox, dog, horse, sheep and slave, all offered to the gods The dusk of grey keeps falling upon the landscape bleak While gently still the bodies sway, hanging in god's tree The ring of torches lighting up the heath, a ghostly shine The mighty ash unites the earth with sky for all time The golden mead flows freely, chant of the sun is sung The runes are read out loud and clear, midwinter night is long Lifegiving disc shall fill the sky once more in all its span The vinterblot, a reawakening, Hail Nordland

Ride the Dragon's breath, mist of poison green Come ye flames, a burning death, face the unseen Deep within the cave, lit up by the torch, a pale gleam As told of in the ancient tales, the Sword of gold and steel Eyes of ember, fangs and claws Creature of fire Jaws of death, walk through the haze Crimson and dire Engulfed in mist, the Sword of Gods Onwards son and ride the Dragon's breath Struck from mountain ore, chilled in morning dew Forged by hand of Gods, when the world was young, this land anew Blade of shining steel, grip covered in gold Carved into its blade, the legend untold Eyes of ember, fangs and claws Creature of fire Jaws of death, walk through the haze Crimson and dire Gods in the sky, the Sword is mine Untouched I am by the mist of the Dragon's breath

Silver, the moon high over pond of water calm and dark Woe, mist, the breath of the dragon, sweeping down mountain side All still, the day asleep, the sun rests in nest of the Gods Afar high adventures await me, I hear my brothers calling Spring is here and the ice breaks free The endless sky and open sea I will sail where the raven will lead me Fly on black wings, high and free I shall return with the wind the day From high adventures, swelling sail Autumn red comes to Asa bay Meet me by the well where the water, crystal clear, flows free From deep within the great mountain towering to the sky I will be awaiting you coming down treading the trails of elves Bare feet, let your hair down like the mist across the pond In dawn of time, before gods and man When earth and sky was first divided A star did fall into river deep A star of gold into silvery water While I sail, by this you shall remember me Wear it, yours forever to keep To bind us beyond end of time, to thee I give a ring of gold

Evening is falling, all still around me The old crow is calling, but the landscape is at peace Down the trail through this forest, through thicket we ride The unseen is watching from behind each stone and pine Slowly the golden disc of the sun is setting Beyond the rim of Nordland at the end of long day Slowly the ominous dark descend upon all Engulfing all land and heaven and the shore of Asa bay Here lie the bones of our fathers long gone Deep in the soil of these woods Among these great trunks legends were born Here many great battles stood Trotting the trail, my stallion cautions Present the spirits of foreverdark woods We rest by the fire, the shadows come to life by its light Three brothers, sons of white wolf, observed by the eyes of the night Night is long where the sunlight is pale The fear is strong when you ride in the dawn Down foreverdark woods trail Heavy the turf, bone meal and blood Raise high you pine towards sky Firm in the soil, tree trunks of gods Like dragon ship masts straight and high Reaching the glade, ride on to Asa bay Watched by the spirits of foreverdark woods

A veil of mist, a foreign coast The calm before their battle cry Steel drawn, the line of shields must hold Through mist, the first arrow, it flies Battle, hold firm the line in battle Shoulder by shoulder, brothers at side We may stand victorious or fall This fine day, a fine day to die We shall fight and may die by the sword Cutting through flesh and bone, your sword My brother, our father taught you well But from behind the unseen blow Mortally wounded, down you fell Battle, hold firm the line in battle Shoulder by shoulder, brothers at side Silent by my side you did fall This was a fine day a fine day to die Brother, I'll keep your broken sword

Brother, we did cross the raging sea Our fathers, has watched our trail for long Battles, many we fought, side by side Through foreverdark woods we did ride Now your journey has reached the end of its trail For today was a fine day to die We shall meet again in great hall in the sky And shall be until the end of time We shall meet again in great hall in the sky And shall be until the end of time Sailing, the wind was strong against your face Fighting, great battles we did win Offering, the vinterblot, a sacrifice Open wide, the gates, to let you in Brother mine, in battle beaten, not slain Hall up high awaits you, come eternal life Stricken down, o brother, this was your day Rest you now, we will meet again Stricken down, my brother, this was your day Rest you now, we will meet again Close your eyes, lay still, no more pain Washed away, your blood, a gentle rain The blood shed is blood of mine Flames, your pyre, reaching high in the night Sound the horn of bronze, it is time Goddess of warriors to call Rise and stand, my brother, whole again a man Walk down golden aisle in hall up high Take your seat, raise your cup, eternal life Forever a Northern son It is told, ancient tales A great hall awaits a fallen brother

By lightning conceived was I The stars above became my eyes Hvergelmer flows in my veins My hair the mist across the never ending nameless lake By womb of soil, the moist of dew Born when sun was high, the day was new And the raven soared high up in clear sky The land will speak to you, when your heart is pure And you were made by Mother Earth, Father Thunder This heart winged, I am eagle's son Through storm and strife, untouched, it is pounding on This sword, forged in fire and ice The runes that trail its blade can be seen but by my two eyes As if written in the snow, the lies, shall melt away By the wheel of sun to cross the sky this day Shadows may lay heavy upon the earth But the truth, cut deep in stone, will last Till the heavens comes tumbling down upon this world Mother Earth, Father Thunder
