"The Sleeping Gods" lyrics
"The Sleeping Gods"
[Norwegian:]
Vekk dei frende: Slepp dei fram
Vekk dei opp fra skoddeheimen
Lat dei kvessa sine spjut
Lat dei syngja, lat dei dansa
Frykt aldri deira vreide
Frykt heller di eiga sorg
Høyr dei kvedar gamle vers
Høyr dei kvedar fram din song
Sja dei byggja gudeheimen
Sja dei riva ner di borg
Grip din atgeir og ditt skjold
Grip ein niding hardt om hjerta
Kjenn kor elden rejser seg
Kjenn kor flaumen vekkjer deg
Det dei skreiv me heidra ma
Det dei bygde grava fram
Frendafolk, me fer no fram!
Frandafolk, me fylgjer vinden!
Me skal reisa stein igjen
Me skal byggja nye hov
Frendafolk, sja dei i augo!
Frendafolk, tving dei i kne!
Me skal vaska gamle runer
Me skal rissa dei pa ny
Vekk dei frende, inn i tid
Vekk dei: lei dei ut pa vollen
Lat dei kasta sine spjut
Lat oss fylgja med i dansen
Frykt ikkje den kalde vinden
Frykt ikkje din eigen drott
Høyr dei dikta sigerskvadet
Høyr nar spjutet treff sitt mal
Sja dei fargar vollen raud
Sja bekken, nar den no renn tom
Grip om det dei til oss gav
Grip om det som gav deg liv
Kjenn eldens tunge gje deg hap
Kjenn kor brunnen fyllest opp
Det me skreiv, du heidra ma
Det me bygde, let det sta!
Frendafolk, me fer no fram!
Frandafolk, me fylgjer vinden!
Me skal reisa stein igjen
Me skal Byggja nye hov
Frendafolk, sja dei i augo!
Frendafolk, tving dei i kne!
Me skal vaska gamle runer
Me skal rissa dei pa ny
[English Translation:]
Wake them friend: let them through
Wake them up from the fog
Let them sharpen their spears
Let them sing, let them dance
Never fear their wrath
Rather fear your own grief
Listen, they are chanting old songs
Listen, they are chanting your song
Behold as they build the home of the gods
Behold as they tear down your fortress
Take your axe and shield
Lay your grip on the coward's heart
Feel the rising flames
Feel the flood waking you up
What they wrote, we must honor
What they built, we must find
Kinsmen, we ride out!
Kinsmen, we follow the wind!
We shall raise the stones again
We shall rebuild the temples
Kinsmen, look into their eyes!
Kinsmen, tear them down!
We shall clean the old runes
We shall carve them again
Wake them friend, into this age
Wake them: lead them to the battleground
Let them throw their spears
Let us join in the dance
Fear not the cold-blowing wind
Fear not your own king
Listen, they sing in victory
Listen, the spears hit the targets
Behold, as the ground turns red
Behold, as the stream runs dry
Take the gifts they brought
Hold on to what brought you life
Feel the flames of hope
Feel your wheel of wisdom filling up
What they wrote, you must honor
What we build, must remain!
Kinsmen, we ride out!
Kinsmen, we follow the wind!
We shall raise the stones again
We shall rebuild the temples
Kinsmen, look into their eyes!
Kinsmen, tear them down!
We shall clean the old runes
We shall carve them again
