When the Trees Were Silenced

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

They met on a hill one late autumn eve oh, noble and graceful both stood with eyes so intense, their passion so fierce the wildest flame burning inside He was the son of a powerful Viking Jarl she was a child blessed by Freya in all her ways Silently they watched the endless sea and time came to say farewell "The ships are leaving tomorrow morning Far away to foreign lands The battlefields call, my fathers to follow proving that I am a man With honour in my breast I will win my battles My love to you will give me my strength to live and when I return all souls will know that you are my true wife to be" Joy in her heart, she summoned the Norns to see what their marriage will bring but the Norns only shook sadly their heads their future, oh they had seen… ‘sometimes my child, fate cannot be kind’ these words; she tumbled down screaming and weeping she called upon elves, begged Freya and Odin "No, don’t take my dear from me" But Orlog had spoken their destiny oh no use all the spell craft she tried one dawn in her dream she saw him falling the blade of a sword in his side he fell to his knees, his dying eyes searching her breathing his last breath as he cried out her name loud that dreadful morning she awoke and she knew that he had died The day came when the ship returned the body of her loved one bore she sat down beside him, a last pained look at his young body once more then she pierced her heart with her dagger of iron her dying body onto his chest fell they are now united in Åsgard high for all eternity
