LYRICS:
Heim Til Yggdrasil
(Music: I. Peersen / Lyrics: K. Grutle / Translation: E. Selvik)
I eit åndsforlatt land
Gjallar horn på ny
ljomar mot dei alle
som trur dei sanninga eig,
som fører blinde i vilse.
Deg sjølv gjeven deg sjølv
Lat oss fara heim,
under lauvets ly
Samlas heime på ny,
Hugse netter ni
All tid me har vandra
under vinger av vilse
All tid me har venta
på at vinteren slepp grepet
Lat oss fara heim,
under lauvets ly
Samlast heime på ny,
Hugse netter ni
ORIGINAL LYRICS (ENGLISH):
Return to Yggdrasill
(Music: I. Peersen / Lyrics: K. Grutle)
A new sound heard throughout the land
From which the spirits had left ages ago
Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers
A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan
outer worlds
For ages we have wandered
Under the wings of deception
Too long have we been waiting
For the long winter to end
An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One
Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses
Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting
It is all for the taking, the world for their making
We will gather again
Under the leaves
We will gather again
In honour of the nine nights
For ages we have wandered
Under the wings of deception
Too long have we been waiting
For the long winter to end
We will gather again
To praise the courage
We will gather again
To watch the harvest
