lyrics

Allir Einherjar Óðins túnum í höggvask hverjan dag, val þeir kjósa
ok ríða vígi frá,
sitja meir of sáttir saman.

Fimm hundruð dura ok umb fjórum tögum, 
svá hygg ek á Valhöllu vera; 
átta hundruð Einherja ganga senn ór einum durum,  þá er þeir fara við vitni at vega.

Allir Einherjar Óðins túnum í höggvask hverjan dag,

Allir Einherjar Óðins túnum í höggvask hverjan dag,

-

All the Einherjar fight in Odin's courts every day;
they choose the slain and ride from battle; then they sit more at peace together

Five hundred doors and forty
I think that Slain-hall has;
eight hundred Einherjar walk through each door, when they go off to battle the wolf.

All the Einherjar fight in Odin's courts every day;

All the Einherjar fight in Odin's courts every day;

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
