That our ancestors praised in the woods
Skald -- Narrate us the tale
Of the God with sorrow in his heart
Tell us his fears
Odin the great sits enthroned Hlidskialf
Looking down to Midgard in deep grief
Tears in the eye you wouldn't believe it
Tears in the eye of the great God
See the fall of Odin's warriors
Snow keeps falling in this frozen land
Hail -- Hail to the Gods
That our ancestors saw in the skies
Snow -- Coating the land
Endless darkness rises from now
No more light
Under the oak we used to meet
To praise the Gods of forgotten times
Now it stands alone in the forest glade
The Whipping winds tear if the leaves
No one sees the fading tree
It passes away from the light of day
Hail -- Hail to the Gods That our ancestors praised in the woods Skald -- Narrate us the tale Of the God with sorrow in his heart Tell us his fears Odin the great sits enthroned Hlidskialf Looking down to Midgard in deep grief Tears in the eye you wouldn't believe it Tears in the eye of the great God See the fall of Odin's warriors Snow keeps falling in this frozen land Hail -- Hail to the Gods That our ancestors saw in the skies Snow -- Coating the land Endless darkness rises from now No more light Under the oak we used to meet To praise the Gods of forgotten times Now it stands alone in the forest glade The Whipping winds tear if the leaves No one sees the fading tree It passes away from the light of day Explain Request ×
