lyrics

Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi

Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána
Hendi inni hœgri um himinjódyr
Sól þat ne vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat ne vissi hvat hann megins átti
Stjörnur þat ne vissu hvar þær staði áttu

-

Of old was the age, when Ymir lived
Sea nor cool waves, nor sand there were
Earth had not been, nor heaven above
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere

The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south
Her right hand cast over heaven's rim
No knowledge she had where her home should be
The moon knew not what might was his
The stars knew not where their stations were

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

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.
