Urd - That Which Was

In the winter mountains high, Where avalanches roar and frozen lakes sigh The sough of the wind to hear The howl of the wolves sweet tune to her ear Wake Skadi, come patroness Guide me through your crystal woods Silvery goddess of the snow, Your shining beauty melts the cold Dress me in your white shawl Kindle my fierce passions Wake Skadi, proud giantess I invoke your strength Mistress of the hunt, Raise the spirit of freedom Lead your sisters into the chase, Arouse their untamed nature Wake Skadi; light the flames of courage, Wake your sisters' will to fight Sister of wolves, Seek your companions You heard the call of the wild I summon your instinct Wake Skadi, defend your kind Guard them from the hateful hands of the blind

Urd, that which was. No veil that covers her face. The lines of the past lie bare. Behind the shadows that hide away her memory...

Maiden moon, mystic lamp of the night, Thy silver shine guides my way. The gates to the other sides are open wide And my mind drifts so far away. Thou enchant my soul and seduce my flesh Whilst thou whisper thy secrets to me. With the ghosts of fog I dance in thy light Till the dawn lifts the spell of me. Rising sun I welcome thee, Young Balders' smile upon thy face. Thou bring the day, cast the shadow away, Thy holy flames the sky embrace. Thou warm the soil and thou warm my heart And feed me the strength that I need. On solstice night shall we celebrate May the most sacred torch ever be. That merriment, grief and life and death Are altogether bound within thee.

When the trees were silenced Yggdrasil's children fell Bloodstained leaves decaying And no one was left to tell The tales of the gods, of fates And of the timeless worlds Wisdom we people once knew Of the wonders of life And of nature's own way... When the trees were silenced By the ones that fooled you well When the trees were silenced Because they know the truth to tell Sorrow is the name of their song The memory lives on The spirit of the green man has gone Why has it been so long? The seeker hears the cries within Will you remember the trees proud and tall? Will you listen and answer nature's call? See, your dead world is starting to fall Let life return

Rain falls from a dark-grey sky I sense the falcon near Across the nine worlds he flies A silent voice my call he seeks my soul He sinks down to the underworld And flies into my dream He lifts me up while I sleep And carries me away I slip away We fly over mountains Over seas raging wild I see trees shaken by the storm And villages in peaceful dormancy A shaman reaches out To greet the one-eyed man I see the past, the present and The future melt to one timeless void A mystic moor-land comes to sight An unknown path ahead Elves dancing around me Could this not be an everlasting dream?
