Withered Wisdom
10:40
|

|
They come to me in search of wisdom
They only find death
The web of destiny
Leads men to eternal madness
They will walk their threads
Only to discover that there is no escape
The ancient gods abandoned us
And the music of the world became chaos
The autumn sun embrace us
As winter comes
And the wind will take away the darkness
The rain will wash away our sins
Some day you will undestand
I had to fall
And as I got up, I grew up
I became old
I became the wisest man alive
I lost it all
I starved in hope
There's no way to return
Evil grows
Decompose my mind
And throw me away
Souls have come to reach for my wisdom
I will not share a piece of my kingdom
Dark days have come and gone
Dust and ashes have shrouded us
I've realized how much it cost
Seeking freedom through an eye
You were the expression, the incarnation
Of what my avarice could cause

Til Valhalla

|
NOR:
Vinden i ansiktet mitt
Blodet gjennom venene mine
min far vil motta meg
Valhalla vil åpne for meg
Vinden i ansiktet mitt
Kroppen min ligger på gulvet
Valkyries bærer meg hjem
Til slutt ser jeg Valhalla lys
ENG:
The wind in my face
The blood through my veins
my father will receive me
Valhalla will open for me
The wind in my face
My body lays on the floor
Valkyries carry me home
Finally I see Valhalla light

Óðinn Orð

NOR:
Þá nam ek frævask
ok fróðr vera
ok vaxa ok vel hafask
orð mér af orði
orðs leitaði
verk mér af verki
verks leitaði
Við hleifi mik sældu
né við hornigi
nýsta ek niðr
nam ek upp rúnar
œpandi nam
fell ek aptr þaðan
ENG:
Then I became wise
and all knowing/prosperous
grew and bloomed
from a word I found word
seeking word
from action I found action
seeking action
I had (no need for) bread
from anyone
nor (needed I) sip of worldly mead
I transcended
I was endowed with mighty runes/I learned runes
sounding I picked up/learned
then I fell from there again
(fell from transcendence into the realm of thoughts, that is)

Synke
02:06
|
|||
|
NOR:
Kvelden nærmer seg
Når solen går ned
Du vil ha gått bort
Innvendig, veldig dyp
Kroppen din synker
Som en dolk i såret
ENG:
The sunset is near
When the sun goes down
You will be gone
Inside, very deep
Your body is sinking
Like a dagger in the wound
