4. Hail To The Hammer
1. Ormurin Langi
Viljið tær hoyra kvæði mítt,
viljið tær orðum trúgva,
um hann Ólav Trygvason,
hagar skal ríman snúgva.
Glymur dansur í høll,
Dans sláið ring
Glaðir ríða noregis menn
til Hildar ting.
Knørrur varð gjørdur á Noregis landi,
gott var í honum evni;
sjúti alin og fýra til
var kjølurin millum stevna.
Har kom maður á bergið oman
við sterkum boga í hendi:
"Jallurin av Ringaríki
hann meg higar sendi"
"Einar skalt tú nevna meg
væl kann boga spenna
Tambar eitur mín menski bogi,
ørvar drívur at renna"
"Hoyr tú tað, tú ungi maður
vilt tú við mær fara,
tú skalt verða mín ørvargarpur
Ormin at forsvara"
Gingu teir til strandar oman
ríkir menn og reystir
lunnar brustu og jørðin skalv
teir drógu knørr úr neysti
Einar spenti triðja sinni
Ætlar jall at raka
tá brast strongur av stáli stinna
í boganum tók at braka
Allir hoyrdu strongin springa
kongurin seg undrar
hvat er tað á mínum skipi
so ógvuliga dundrar
Svaraði Einar Tambarskelvir
kastar boga sín
Nú brast Noregi úr tínum hondum
kongurin harri mín
Nú skal lætta ljóðið av
eg kvøði ei longur á sinni
nú skal taka upp annan tátt
dreingir leggi í minnið
2. How Far To Asgaard
A journey, with which we attempt to look beyond our boundaries
To answer questions asked for centuries
Will it not only leave us with more and greater mysteries
That's the question, that is
What keeps me rowing, I'm sick of this strife
I don't know where we're going, we trusted Leif
He said, "You'll see Vineland is out there
I can take us there I know where we are going
Don't deny your need for knowing how far
all goes on and where the oceans end
The autumn wind and evening tide will take us through Midgaard"
Still we've sighted only sea till now
As we sail I sometimes wonder how far to Asgaard
Greatness lies within the silence of the ocean
Where we end is not our decision
and though hidden, fate is fixed with no evasion
All men should try to live each
Day for the evening, each week for the end
each summer for the winter, each life for death
Tell me, does this all have a meaning
And Leif Ericsson just stared into the distance
And asked the questions, "How far does it
all go on and where do oceans end
The autumn wind and evening tide will take us through Midgaard"
Still we've sighted only sea till now
As we sail I sometimes wonder how far to Asgaard
Dagurin skín so fagurliga
Komið er hægst á summarið
3. God Of War
Tell me not that there is a higher
Truth to life than my own
And forces of unseen kind
Beyond our imagination
At the end of the day
Right or wrong must depend on
Weak or strong, and how would we
Hang the last hangman
The truth is sad
Much wants more
Hang your head
Ask what for
We sacrifice
Blood and gore
Before the eyes
Of the God of War
I believe not life could ever exist
without the survival of the fittest
Maybe this is the best
We can do with what we have
Should we not just be grateful
Privileged as we are
Walking this rugged old planet
Who are we to complain
Such is the nature of man
This was to be our lot
The truth is sad
Much wants more
Hang your head
Ask what for
We sacrifice
Blood and gore
Before the eyes
Of the God of War
4. Hail To The Hammer
Longing eyes turn into the sun
Low in the winter
Grey as a wolf now the wind has come
Cold as a hunter
Ride across the sky, thunder roll and lightning fly
Gone is the summer
What will keep us warm in the winter
Tales of those who died, sword in hand in times gone by
Hail to the Hammer
Narrow eyes turn against the wind
Out from the ocean
Until the day when we sail again
Life is a long pain
Ride across the sky, thunder roll and lightning fly
Gone is the summer
What will keep us warm in the winter
Tales of those who died, sword in hand in times gone by
Hail to the Hammer
To the god of thunder
The god that's protecting us all
All hail to the giant hunter
And hail to the forces of nature all
Ride across the sky, thunder roll and lightning fly
Gone is the summer
What will keep us warm in the winter
Tales of those who died, sword in hand in times gone by
Hail to the Hammer
