lyrics

Senn váru æsir allir á þingi ok ásynjur allar á máli, 
ok um þat réðu ríkir tívar,
hví væri Baldri ballir draumar.

Þá reið Óðinn fyrir austan dyrr,  þar er hann vissi völu leiði; 
nam hann vittugri valgaldr kveða,  unz nauðig reis, nás orð of kvað:

"Hvat er manna þat mér ókunnra,  er mér hefir aukit erfitt sinni? 
Var ek snivin snævi ok slegin regni  ok drifin döggu, dauð var ek lengi."

-

Once all the Gods met for a conference, all the Goddesses met for a conference, and the mighty Gods talked about
why Balder was having bad dreams.

Then Odin rode east of the door to Hel,
and there he found the grave of a witch,
and then the battle God spoke a spell,
till her corpse was forced to rise, and spoke:

“Who is this man, unknown to me,
who has brought me back to a loathsome life? I was buried in snow, pelted by rain,
drowned in dew, I was dead a long time.”

It is different than previous releases, nonetheless it is astonishing and beautiful homage to nature. One reproach, like both previous albums this one too flown by so quickly. Do yourself a favor and listen to this music in forest you like to visit. Hedensk Hjerte

Deep Dark Germanic Folk. Such in love with your work. Perfect feeling for moving through Landscapes or for Dancing. Feeling the ancestors, pray with them and stay in ecstatic states. Love dark atmosphere surrounded with hopeful melodies. Through the dark comes Light. Never forget the Balance of both. Love you All Krishnasøn
