lyrics

Höðr berr hávan hróðrbaðm þinig,  hann mun Baldri at bana verða 
ok Óðins son aldri ræna;
ok Óðins son aldri ræna;

Heim ríð þú, Óðinn, ok ver hróðigr, svá komir manna meir aftr á vit,
er lauss Loki líðr ór böndum
ok ragnarök rjúfendr koma.

Rindr berr Vála í vestrsölum, sá mun Óðins sonr einnættr vega: hönd of þvær né höfuð kembir, áðr á bál of berr Baldrs andskota;

Heim ríð þú, Óðinn, ok ver hróðigr, svá komir manna meir aftr á vit,
er lauss Loki líðr ór böndum
ok ragnarök rjúfendr koma.

-

Hoth will bear the long spear that will kill him,
he will be the killer of your son Balder,
and will steal the life of Odin’s son.
and will steal the life of Odin’s son.

Ride home, Odin! Feel triumphant, for now.
But you will come for a second visit
when Loki breaks free from his chains,
and Ragnarök comes to end everything

Rind will give birth to Vali in Vestrsalir,
he will avenge Balder when he is only one night old.
He will neither comb his hair nor wash his hands till he puts Balder’s killer on the funeral pyre.

Ride home, Odin! Feel triumphant, for now.
But you will come for a second visit
when Loki breaks free from his chains,
and Ragnarök comes to end everything

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
