Like an open wound Som eit åpent sår Who could endure Kven kunne halde ut If i follow you, will i be like them Hvis eg fylgjer deg, blir eg som dei? Standing tall, with the flag of the hanged ones -Rak i rygg med fana Til dei hengde
They were like the trees Dei vart som trea, livlause Lifeless - did not speak Snakka ikkje, rørte seg ikkje Did not move Handa kald, auga tomt Cold hand, empty eye (Mimir, do you hear this?) (Mimir, lyttar du?)
It is a long journey, but are you growing tired? Det er langt, men trøttnas du ? Time stands still, everything else is dead Tida står stilla, alt anna er dødt Blood and hymn Blod og kvad The god of corpses' sun Likgudens sol skin i kvar og Shines in one and everyone's face Ein sitt ansikt
Urd answers in echoes, what will you do? Urd svarar med ekko, kva vil du gjera? Where is your hammer Kor la du hammaren, Thurisaz kallar ; Thurisaz calls: smashed hold of illusion's roots Røska tak i faginningas rot
They were like trees Dei vart som trea, livlause Lifeless Følte ikke, høyrde ikkje Did not feel, did not hear Handa kald, auga tomt Cold hand, empty eye Ymir, lyttar du? Ymir, do you hear this?
They were life trees Dei vart som trea, livlause Lifeless Ymir, kvifor er du tyst? Ymir, why are you silent?
