The first snow of winter falls against my hand
|
Looking up at gray sky
|
Many lunar revolutions have driven bees
|
A long wait for ice time
|
Feel the breath of the forest
|
A breath filled with primordial power
|
The raven calls me, to show the way
|
To the hall of my destiny
|
A farewell, a promise in blood
|
To be seen again when the ice breaks up
|
Begins my journey towards Ägir's hall
|
One last look at my resting place
|
In the time below, time stands still
|
In the above, the depth is black
|
In the east you will be bound… by qualifiers
|
To the west, the gate is heavy
|
In the south there you go blind
|
In the north you will find answers
|
Land meets sea, night meets day
|
Ice meets earth, questions meet answers
|
The glow of stars falls on ice
|
Reflects the black surface
|
Leaves the edge of the snow-covered beach
|
Where sea meets earth mark frozen land
|
Beyond the scarred mirror in the distance
|
Calling my shackled soul brother
|
Across Ägir's frozen hall
|
Carry my path to becoming whole
|
Nine are the waves
|
Nine are the visions
|
Nine is the qualifiers of the nights
|
Nine are the pains
|
Nine are the victims
|
Nine is the number of life
|
The night is dark despite the stars shining
|
Heavy and tired in mind and body
|
The wind drifts over the ice, so bitter and cold
|
Memories drift to the surface, forgotten days
|
A pain petrifies my body
|
The night lights up in a blinding light
|
Falling to his knees, the roar of voices…
|
Faces twisted in strange grin;
|
Shapes rush past
|
Dream-like figures with wings of blood
|
Dancing across the ground
|
Sword song and horn song
|
Hoof tramp and animal roar
|
Galder and rune singing
|
Blot and victim to Grimner
|
Wolf grin and bear frame
|
The rage of a berry-bearer
|
Shadow-like souls with bluish fire
|
The grave redeemed in the moonlight…
|
Sword song and horn song
|
Hoof tramp and animal roar
|
Galder and rune singing
|
Blot and victim to Grimner
|
Land meets sea, night meets day
|
Ice meets earth, questions meet answers
|
Feel the breath of winter
|
A breath filled with primordial power
|
The raven calls me
|
To show the way to the hall of my destiny
|
Fragments of answers given in sight
|
Unclear in its clarity…
|
Back in the cold of the night
|
Dazzled by the pictures
|
A glimpse of what is to come
|
Or ancient memories from the depths of the sea?
|
Thoughts wander, hard to see
|
More questions without answers…
|
Without answer |
