lyrics

Svipum hef ek nú yppt
fyr sigtíva sonum,
við þat skal vilbjörg vaka; öllum ásum þat skal inn koma Ægis bekki á, Ægis drekku at.

Hétumk Grímr, hétumk Gangleri,  Herjann ok Hjalmberi, 
Þekkr ok Þriði, 
Þundr ok Uðr, Herblindi ok Hár.

Óðinn ek nú heiti,
Yggr ek áðan hét,
hétumk Þundr fyr þat,
Vakr ok Skilfingr,
Váfuðr ok Hroftatýr,
Gautr ok Jalkr með goðum, Ófnir ok Sváfnir,
er ek hygg, at orðnir sé allir af einum mér.

-

I have shown my face in the presence of Gods, now help is on its way.
It will come
to all the gods
on Aegir’s benches,
When they drink at Aegir’s place.

I have called myself Grim, I have called myself wanderer, Warrior and Helmet-Wearer, Famed One and Third One, Thunder and Wave,
Hel-Blind and One-Eye

Odin is my name.
But before they called me Terror, and Thunder before that,
and Waker and Killer,
and Confuser and Orator-God, Heat-Maker, Sleep-Maker,
both Gelding and Father!
I think all these names were used for me alone.

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
