The Swan

Forlorn
Dancing alone on a desolate shore
Forsaken, like so many times before
Radient
Like a shimmering light
Spreads her snow-white wings so bright
Shining
Her feathers made of purest silk
Shrouded in mist, like a blanket of milk
Tired
Opened her beak to sing her throat sore
And sang like she had never sung before
Silence
A song of great knowedge and lore
She sang, and then she sang no more

I was dying in the moss
I was sick and I was lost
In the forests of black rain
I had almost gone insane
Someone heard my desperate cries
A spirit in a wolf's disguise
He took me through the forest deep
As my body fell asleep
(Sung as the last part)
[I was sinking in the sea
Until darkness swallowed me
And the water filled my chest
As the pressure crushed me
I was taken by the streams
Away from my lonely dreams
Then on the bottom of the ocean
I was freed from all emotion]
I was running from a fire
I ran through woods and over mire
Through thick smoke and dark terrain
I just couldn't embrace the pain
As I ran the fire spread
Until all was burnt and dead
Then in the ashes of my shell
Something new began to dwell
In my shade no flowers bloomed
I was cursed and I was doomed
But what falls will also land
Mother nature took my hand
Pain to strength and tears to gold
I grew wiser as I grew old
And out of any dead remains
Flowers grow and new life reigns

Ensam

Ska e gå här ensam fästeman förutan
Tvina bort likt som en frostig ros på rutan
Ska e gå här och sucka
Ajajaj sucka
Ska e gå i graven som en gammal nucka

Wither

I was surrounded by darkness
Embraced by darkness
So darkness I became
And I evaporated into the eternal night sky
Like a milk-white haze
I was surrounded by grey
Embraced by grey
And the great void I saw before my eyes,
was engulfed in thick black smoke
I was surrounded by white
Embraced by white
And my bleeding heart,
Painted these snow-covered plains in the deepest red
I was surrounded by nothingness
Embraced by nothingness
All alone on the ground I lay,
and nothingness I became
But in my mind you sat beside me
Forever holding my hand;
silently watching me wither away

In the polar night long and dark
May the wolves howl and bark
In the silence of December
May them my body dismember
Hear the ancient owl call
She tells the story of my fall
Whispers in the northern wind
As my body lay there skinned
The whitest glade was painted red
Yet my spirit wasn't dead
Hidden runes beneath the snow
A story of the returning crow
As winter turn to spring
Again you will hear him sing
Like the sound of foxes chewing mice
The morning sun will crack the ice
And from the lake - I shall arise
For when the red snow melt
Along with the sadness I've felt
Leaving nothing worth to mourn
I'm out of ice reborn

Herr Mannelig

Bittida en morgon innan solen upprann
Innan fåglarna började sjunga
Bergatrollet friade till fager unger Sven
Hon hade en falskeliger tunga
Herr Mannelig, herr Mannelig troloven mig
För det jag bjuder så gärna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej
Eder vill jag giva de gångare tolv
Som gå uti rosendelunde
Aldrig har det varit någon sadel uppå dem
Ej heller betsel uti munnen
Herr Mannelig, herr Mannelig troloven mig
För det jag bjuder så gärna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej
Eder vill jag giva ett förgyllande svärd
Som klingar utav femton guldringar
Och strida huru i strida vill
Stridsplatsen skolen i väl vinna
Herr Mannelig, herr Mannelig troloven mig
För det jag bjuder så gärna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej
Bergatrollet ut på dörren sprang
Hon rister och jämrar sig svåra
Hade jag fått den fager ungersven
Så hade jag mistat min plåga
Herr Mannelig, herr Mannelig troloven mig
För det jag bjuder så gärna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej

Våra minnens klagosång
04:23
|
|||
En gång då stod skogen grön
Marken bördig, luften skön
Vår vackra sjö nu ligger torr
Och kylan tränger in från norr
Gården står där tyst och tom
Sedan den dag vi fick vår dom
English version:
The forest once stood so green
The soil was fertile, the air was clean
Our pretty lake now lay dry
And from the north cold winds cry
The cabin stands empty and silent
Since our judgement fell so violent

Han satt på fjällets topp
och höll sin kaffekopp
med en skakig hand
i gråaste Norrland
vinden blåste kall
vid mörkrets anfall
stugan lockade
då glöden slocknade
I kylan där han låg
kom en värmevåg
Som att ro i hamn
eller hålla i sin famn
värmen av en mö
ett sorglöst sätt att dö

Grey
08:09
|
|||
In the distance
Across the barren fields
Peering through the mist
Endless forests
Reaching for the stars
The eternal heavens open up
To silence these burning plains
Forever
Nothingness
A speck of dust in the face of time
Without form and void
Engulfed in a haze of emptiness
The beginning and the end
Everything;
so immensely grey
Like ashes falling from a burning sky
