01. Sacrifice Smoke


Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship in the halls of the asa temple  
Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship the sacrifice smoke rise towards the sky

The mead is flowing noble beverage, may it never dry out
Full horns now raise to our friends
Fires burning kettles simmer, the food is on the tables
Bravely drink for every ones prosperity

Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship in the halls of the asa temple  
Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship the sacrifice smoke rise towards the sky

Aesirs are honored runes are cut, the scald forges the words
Ancient warriors are honored in our saga
Promised cheers the feast honors, powerful the song is heard
Family ties are strengthened and sealed

Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship in the halls of the asa temple  
Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship the sacrifice smoke rise towards the sky

Oracle runes are carved sharpened edge, interpret them in blood
Ask the Gods for rich gifts
The sacrifice gives peace and harvest, mother of fertility
Nine years are sanctified for the land

Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship in the halls of the asa temple  
Nine days the sacrifice lasts now let us rejoice
Wild dances of joy and fellowship the sacrifice smoke rise towards the sky


02. Svanesång


In light of fire, I perceive you, a shadow play out of flames
no more shall I meet your gaze and get to squeeze your firm hand
up to the sky smoke billows out in a sea without land
in the glow of the bonfire runes sizzles up, interpret them if you can

Around the ring I dance around, I excite the blood warm
my drum roars wild and beautiful, the heat turns loose
chants swore at the family's band, a slayer, I found
back to back over the distant sea, a tall pine tree you were

Do you now or not

At the root of rock rumbles the earth song, a portent so powerfully by the passage of time
the mother's bosom, we strengthened each other, from sources well, we drank
ask me now where I stand alone on the rock of black pain wounds
hear my voice so hoarse and frail, by the spear of sorrow, I was shot

Now the thread forms at the warp of fate, a shimmering web of everything in life
up on a shiny shield we were carried, the two of us by our father
body trembles a swoon intoxication, the sweat is flowing with holy sorcery
a journey far with a dark burden, behind the darkness I see lights

Do you now or not

The sheer mind over roadless land, a stray wind beyond protection from the dead
in the cold track will ice every tear, in the worlds where I shall go
came all the forces from the south and north, wild sejddjur show you now
for this core is a sword being forged, tempered in my blood

Over land, on sea, I must find a murderer
over land, sea, I fly in örnehamn


03. Dance of the Fairies


Enchanting beauty in the dance of fairies
Shimmering being of light
Tears of silver in Daggkåpa¹ embrace
Twilight carefully falls


A mother of age so old and worn
still searching for the traces
She follows the paths in the green moss beds
A feather bed without life


See them then follow them tonight


Fairies dancing wildly on moon steep meadows
Silver covered is the ground in wizardrys garb
A mirage made of light so captivating and tempting
Tones of a song with appealing words


Wandering souls they float as haze
Arched in the play of the fairies
The griefing mother falls to her knees of pardon
The children of the forest are here


See them then follow them tonight


Fairies dancing wildly...

1. It's a plant, Alchemilla Vulgaris


04. At the Jore Ź


Flow you Jore that time has fled
at spring you rush so swift
white flowers they adorn your beach
peacefully flowing towards the rapids noise

Dark casing, black depths
what there lurks, childhood faith in the Jore Å,  the Jore Å  

Trout watching the streams sweet game
Under the alders green leaf  
Shy shadows against the iron red sand
A millstone reminds you of the stream of power
Dark casing, black depths
what there lurks, childhood faith in the Jore Å,  the Jore Å  

Birch trees swaying in the warm morning breeze
day dawns and reborn
Side by side we walk familiar path
down in the valley towards the childhoods creek
Dark casing, black depths
what there lurks, childhood faith in the Jore Å,  the Jore Å  

1. The Jore Å is a creek running outside the Rimmerfors brothers home


06. Storm


Favourable winds take me out at dawn
Away on the sea, now I leave, and I see wooded ridges towards the land
Still you wait for me, my beloved friend

The light of the sea sometimes twinkles cold
As the breaker wildly sheers
I follow the wave that will retreat me from you
In the North woods I left my birth
Until the time for wisdoms harvest
Heaven and sea will fall again towards everybody’s grave

The storm roars and the winds wailing cries
The waves sweep trough my frozen heart
I freeze, freeze

Sea-fires gleam mirrors the journey of life
That now rocks in the arms of the fjord
Flush of emotions seized by longing for a distant land
Emerge to the dark room of thunder
To a realm of grim cold
Moment of damnation to conjure a primordial God

The storm roars....

Storm, storm in the well of my hart
The storm is the struggle of wind
The battle over vast seas
Cold trough marrow and bone
Frosty breaths
The rain lash me hard

A war cry is heard from the voices of the North
In the rasping cries of the wind
A raging sea in its abode I bravely cruise
Abysmal depths a sensation of death
With thirst of hunting jaws
From immemorial tradition to appease its greedy prey

The storm roars....


07. Varg i Veum¹


Legends of yore tells of deeds
swords were raised and court peace was broken
baring his mind with the slaying requests
ravage and insult with fury force

Keep the beloved in the safest embrace
fear and dread was the path they found
born out of love's sacred womb
doomed to suffer the in villains violence

The darkness approaching and the moment was difficult
the mountain is bursting of pain
stung by wrath in times of wolves
Fate was carved in stone

The grief of the heart with flaming fires
blindly hunting an indefinite friend
shadows brooding in the dark forest
torches lit to drive those away

Varg i Veum

The darkness approaching and the moment was difficult
the mountain is bursting of pain
stung by wrath in times of wolves
Fate was carved in stone

1. Outlaw, Murderer (Wolf) in the woods


08. Hearth


Flames flicker in our hearth such as longing that devours
Such as ashes is then the blight as the fire inside us all
only this trifling is so beautiful, I give myself away to the woods
like a pine for my pride, swear life that appears as myth
I advise myself of all thoughts for they doubt in my soul
I mourn life for its delight if life is dear to me


As the shadows at night playing evil for those who see
set trap, catch the eye of death, who spares if no-one begs
answers awaits in our life, chasing fate that is to be
seek the fortune on if it’s waiting, bring comfort when grief stages
I advise myself of all thoughts for they doubt in my soul
I mourn life for its delight if life is dear to me


If our hearth now fades one time, foretell my hands in what is left
memories of  flames in the ashes so gray

An omen to shed me a faded glow
In each spark is a golden tear, intending to die


Flames flicker in our hearth such as longing that devours
Such as ashes is then the blight as the fire inside us all
only this trifling is so beautiful, I give myself away to the woods
like a pine for my pride, swear life that appears as myth
I advise myself of all thoughts for they doubt in my soul
I mourn life for its delight if life is dear to me


I advise myself of all thoughts for they doubt in my soul
I mourn the lives of its delight of life is dear to me
If our hearth now fades one time, foretell my hands in what is left
memories of flames in the ashes so gray


09. Guilt


Screams of pain, hurt by its burning hatred
violent anger, fear for my life
violate the blood, I am fettered

Traveling at sea cold
raise my eyes toward heaven

Tears sting of wounded skin
breathe heavy
looking for reasons, finding no solace
have mercy, I squirm

Traveling at sea cold
raise my eyes toward heaven

Darkness reigns, thoughts flowing desolate
I tremble so alone in the hall of stone
dim memories chasing me without doubt
in the distance, they wail to gain peace

One time, I thought I know riddles
the answers in case of debt and truth
bound in the deepest anxiety
suffer to live with grief and eternal debt

Screams of pain, hurt by its burning hatred
violent anger, fear for my life
violate the blood, I am fettered

Traveling at sea cold
raise my eyes toward heaven


11. Bergakungen


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


12. 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
