BORN IN DENSE FORESTS
Drapa
(lyrics by Dm Big)
Can't I live this neverending night?
Your shadow appears before my eyes again
I don't see your face but hear your voice:
"Where did you were, Gerd of Golden Rings,
When packs of hungry wolves
Pulled my body apart, greedly champing
And crows peeked my eyes out?
View of my troops in sorrowful,
Cause now it's a pile of bloody flesh,
I have been entombed under strong tree
At the bridge in alien cold land:"
I prayed to holy Theothokos for you,
I cryed on the bordes grey stones
I asked heaven to give you a victory
But gods only laughed at me:
"Ha! Should you mourn?
After all you had blessed them to death."
Now my drakkar ran aground forever
"And my safe sword rusted
I had became the gray shadow unforgiven
And doomed to eternal room in Darkness.
Unforgiven for those, whose blood is on my hands,
Whose mothers and wives are crying now
I see companions of Odin will look after you
Whose bones this bank has been studded.
It's too great palment for my lack of foresight
So Valhalla will become the lost haven for them."
My female fate is live in sorrow
And when sorrowful tidings will arrive like the black bird
On the cold sea wind
I will cry:
"We went in the battle without armours
but with the swords
We didn't keep under shields-so truest said.
We didn't shudder with shameful
horror before weapons
Because One Eyed Odlin look at us:"
"Foolish mortal born in torments
Nornes had wove weak thred:
From Darkness you had went and
Into Darkness you had went away
You was o worthless creation of madman!
Could you foresee this outcome?
Did you dream about this fatal arrow?"
"I tried to be the fair konnung for my people
Though sometimes I was excessively cruel.
But I had turned out to be a very naЇve
In my longing for great power and might."
The sun must blackened
Rainbows in sky must by distroyed
And surf must break against the shore-
It all must have bean before
The more great hovding born.
(lyrics by Dm Big)
Grey clouds witch are begin drove with cold wind
Notified the snow - coverod lands
About the black sunset
The Power of the White Moon was beginning...
This shadowy light drove away from sleepy houses
All those whose hearts were filled
With nostalgia about the lost Motherland
To eternally young clear vibrant night
To far unknown lands
The last flocks of fired birds
Left the grey chillish heaven
And took shelter in the tops of ancient pines
At down they'll continue their journey
The ground help her breath
But Night is dictating her rules
The life goes by in other laws
If you're weak-you will be victim of more strong people
So it was forever
The flower of fern has burst with blood-red
The grass is covered with cold dew
The fog has concealed all mysteries of the night right
From the stange looks.
Here the new life had begun
In drunk round dance of stars
In violent dance of trees
In fullmoon light
In the howling of the wolves in the dense forests
In the cries of the black crows in the sky
In the silence of the fish in the moddy lakes
In the rustle of the leavens of the trees
Everywhere all was heard only one thing:
"He was born. He had been awaited forever!"
The child will leave the peky outer skin
She-wolf will bring up him with her milk
Here he'll grow up and will be strong
And enter this world like a Master
He will avenge the blood witch was innocent shed
And everybody must get his due
The wolf-his victim the sheep-fangs to her throat
The old absurd world must collapse:
The new counting out of time is beginning -
He was born! And he had been awaited forever!
Thor
Fulminater
(lyrics by Dm Big)
The terrible thunderstorm is approaching
The leaves of the ash-tree are fluttering
The air as if filled with the lead
And the darkness is prowling into the valleys
The windis driving the black clouds
And tearing the sails of the drakkars
Lightnings are spliting the sky
It's the march of thor
All living beings are frozen with horror
His voice is rumbling with thunder
The ground is rocking with the clatter of wheels
Of Chariot moving in heavens
Two rams are put to this chariot
Their horns are cleaving the air
And their eyes are shining from lightning
It's Thor Fulminater
The great heaven's viking
The mighty son of Oldhin and Earth
You overthrow the monster in horror
With one stroke of your hammer
Even enormous shake of the deeps
Twining the Earth round with rings
Can't resist you
Red - hair Thor
In his hand is magic hammer Mjollnir
In his eyes is hate to the enemies
His servants always close by
Tjallvi and Reskva are their names
Jotuns must beware! Thor is going!
And his Power is awful!
