"Vetrarmegin" text

"Vetrarmegin"

[Swedish:]

Ur ett gap, malströmmars djup
Is och eld, storm och hav
Begynnelsens tid, urvärldar två
Sol och måne, liv och död

Urds väv, eldens glöd
Månens ljus, vid trädets fot

Blod till jorden, vilja och offer
Ögats syn, i brunnens djup

Nedan Hel, thursars värld
Köld och mörker, evig is
Eli vågor, Hvergelmers djup
Kraftfulla väsen, visdomens härd

Urds väv, isens djup
Snöns ljus, vid bergets fot

Blod till jorden, vilja och offer
Ögats syn...

Vinterns kalla hjärta, nedan Hel
Urväsens visdom, thursars makt
Köldens bleka rike, evig natt
Ur isen sprungen, kaosets kraft

Skuggor ur tiden, vetrarmegin
Viskar i vinden, vetrarmegin
Om eld och is, vetrarmegin
Kaoset i evighetens gap...

Ovan jord, ifrån thursars värld
Kaos och kyla, evig is...
Ur frusen sömn, visdom bringad hem
Vinterns megin, is och eld...

[English translation:]

Out of the abyss, the depths of maelstroms
Fire and ice, tempest and sea
Time of beginning, two ancient worlds
Sun and moon, life and death

Urd's web, the fire's glow
The light of the moon, by the foot of the tree

Blood to the earth, will and sacrifice
Sight of the eye, in the well's depth

Down below Hel, world of giants
Cold and darkness, eternal ice
The waves of Eli, the deep of Hvergelmer
Powerful beings, the hearth of wisdom

Urd's web, the depth of the ice
The light of the snow, by the foot of the mountain

Blood to the earth, will and sacrifice
Sight of the eye...

Winter's cold heart, down below Hel
The wisdom of ancient beings, the power of giants
The pale realm of coldness, eternal night
Sprung from the ice, the power of chaos

Shadows from time, winter force
Whispers in the wind, winter force
Of fire and ice, winter force
Chaos within the abyss of eternity...

Above earth, from the world of giants
Chaos and coldness, eternal ice...
From frozen slumber, wisdom brought home
The force of winter, fire and ice...
