Lyset

Lyset er evig
Lyset er livet
Gjennom årtusener
Gjennom vegger

Avskjed fra dypet
Avskjed fra mørket
Sol, stjerner, måne
Evige fakler

Lyset er vakkert
Lyset er veien
Gjennom stormer
Gjennom kriger

[English translation:]

The light

The light is eternal
The light is the life
Through the millenniums
Through the walls

Farewell from the deep
Farewell from the dark
Sun, stars, moon
Eternal torches

The light is beautiful
The light is the way
Through the storms
Through the wars

My Destiny (EP, 2009)



My Destiny

My destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My destiny
My destiny...

I'm so lost, I am damned
In this grey lonely valley (I'm damned)
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash (and ash)
A color red
Forsaken blood on ice
The evening dance on me
And do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dance on me
Do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling, falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

My destiny (it's my destiny)
My destiny (my destiny)
My destiny

The Battle Of Maldon

Low tide river near Blackwater
Leaving a bridge for us
Three thousand men behind their shields
Warriors of the North
Of the North

I'm not afraid
My weapon is raised
To slay the first man standing in my way
And if I fall, I know where I go

Battle of Maldon

Hear you seafarer this is our ground
Leaving no choice for us
We will defend what we have build
From the warriors of the north
Of the North

I'm not afraid
My weapon is raised
To slay the first man standing in my way
And if I fall, I know where I go

Battle of Maldon

We're not afraid
Our weapons are raised
To slay every man standing in our way
Then if we fall, we know where we go

Battle of Maldon

Scarborough Fair (Acoustic Version)

Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground).
Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain).
Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).

Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears).
Between salt water and the sea strands (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill).
And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

Northbound

I have come by the sea-way home
I'm returning to where I belong
I travelled through countries of foreign belief
I've tasted the wine of the youth
But I am...

Northbound
Each day I am without you
Is like day-light without sun
Each night I rest without you
Is a king without his crown
In her eyes burns a light that will guide my way
Northbound I can only rely on my will to go
North again

There's a silence that comforts my ears
There's a purity streaming out in the wind

I will be home

Northbound
Fortnight since I saw her
Wonders never appear half-heartedly
Fortnight since I touched her
I am home
I am home

Nine Wave Maidens

Nine wave maidens
Giant beauties
Soundly asleep on Midgard sands

Someone is walking
Hungry eyes gazing
The guard of the sky beholding their pride

Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience never breaking
Oh how they blind a traveler's heart

Atla, Sindur, Egia, Ulfrun
Never profound
Never alone

Heimdall born was he of mother's nine
Heimdall son is he of sisters nine

Calling the waves

Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience unbreakable
Oh how they blind a traveler's eye

Calling nine waves
Singing in the shadows
What else do they haunt than a lonely man's heart

Njord (2009)



Njord

The God of Storms will you hear me
The shore is close but I fear it
Njord
I am lost on my course to Gardarike
Caught in a fiery temper

Njord
When you touch the earth
With golden sun rays
Njord
Your white palace embraced in gold
Vanir God - I am Njord
Send me waves
Like silk from the East
Njord
And skin of a maiden's cheeks
Nine wave maidens arise

The ruler of winds will you save me
My hopes are strong but you guide me
I am lost on my course to Gardarike
Caught in a stormy weather

Storm lay down your sword
Silence your breath
Allay your tempest now
Ægir be aware
Be aware

Sea be calm and clear tonight
Silence your waves
Njord

Becalm your anger now
Storm lay down your sword
Ægir be aware
Be aware

My Destiny

My destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My destiny
My destiny...

I'm so lost, I am damned
In this grey lonely valley (I'm damned)
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash (and ash)
A color red
Forsaken blood on ice
The evening dance on me
And do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dance on me
Do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling, falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

My destiny (it's my destiny)
My destiny (my destiny)
My destiny

Emerald Island

Iathghlas Oileán i mo chroi
Fan liom go deo
Green Eden
Green Eden

Emerald Island
Can you hear me calling
Emerald Island
Can you hear me mourning

I turn around
I watch her disappearing
My path my life and soul
The ground of all my hopes
Stay with me
Stay with me

Hardly dare I to behold
The shore is turning small
She's fairer than the sun
Lovelier than any crown
Stay with me
Stay with me

My heart has drown resolute
My courage valiant
My strength may wish to turn
Through my spirit is awake
You hold my soul
I hold his soul
I hold his soul
His heart filled with resolution
His courage valiant
My his strength never turn him down
For his spirit is guiding him

Take the Devil in Me

I am drifting away
I've counted my last days
Between my lips a silent cry

I swore to the Gods
I will let grace win
The battle of my heart

I cry for angels to save me
Take the devil in me
Save me for I've been mistaken
Save one moment of my life
Take the devil in me

A mind at peace with every spirit
Before I leave I shall forgive

My heart stops beating
It makes me see how bright life could have been
