01. The Mountain King


there he stood so tall, the mountain king from the north
with a yearning sence
a maid from the village he snared to his halls
with wizardry

and the virgin she rides with the wind in her hair
as fair and beautiful as a fairy
the stars they twinkle on the path she travels
in secret she meets her beloved

she falls into lethargy with eyes of stone
in his cold embrace
his magic is strong, for thousands of years
she will be fettered

at sunset she dresses with golden delight
to honor her king
in the darkest chamber she attends to stand bride
with her mountain king


02. The Morning Star¹


Blooded board between yards go from hand to hand
Inherit men sit down in gray wool
They swear in their blood so red an oath to never fail
Messenger is riding in the forests protecting womb

Battle axe urge to war
Battle axe a violent end
The message sweeps ahead, it has a long way to go

Time has come for battle men in the land of Värend²
The chain cant be broken confirmed by blood
Aged are the signs carved in burnt wood
Messenger rides through nights and days

To defend your rights again
Bring the deep wounds of battle
Sacrifice your life for its poverty
Their freedom will last forever

1. It's a medieval weapon
2. Part of Sweden that used to be as an own state in the past


03. The Riddles of The Dreams


Is your sleep deep
Does your fylgja¹ watch over you
Delightful is the land of dreams
A twilight in fire

Behold the riddles of dreams
Does deaths longing appeal to you

Endless is time
Pleasant is the sleep
Stay in old age
Nothing is forgotten

Do you have a prophecy
To follow when the journey begins
Light of dawn in a mirage land
Distant they whisper a name

1. In Norse mythology, a fylgja (Old Norse, literally "someone that accompanies,"plural fylgjur) is a supernatural being or creature following a person in connection to their fate or fortune. Fylgjur usually appears in the form of an animal and commonly appears during sleeping, but the sagas relate that may appear while a person is awake as well, and that seeing one's fylgja is an omen of one's impending death. However, when fylgjur appear in the form of women, they are mean to be  guardian spirits for people or clans


04. Fire


Fair are the flames in the fire
Immersed on stones they were
Timeless was the night so dark
Veils by the water hides its luster

Captivating were the gaze at the fire
In the darkness a shape of life
Senses escapes so hardly
Bitter was the struggle for the ones who slept

Transient were links of blood
Prevailing silence of grief
Consuming longing of belief
Hurting eyes cant no longer see

The hand towards the ground so heavy
Splinters of time bide deep
Forgotten was the age when they lived
United was the companion by the fires light
