Leaves' Eyes

First topic message reminder :

Norwegian Lovesong

I grew up by the sea
I played under the sun
Come to me come into my dreams
This is my light of life

Between the bluebells
Sits a girl with blond braids
A blue-eyed angel
With strawberry cheeks
The spell has bound me
I was living a dream
Norwegian homeland
My heart belongs to you

I climbed mountains so high
I discovered the deep
Long to be long, long to be part of this dream
This is where my heart beats

A Winter's Poem

One million crystals on the outside of my window
One single thought, a thought of missing you
But only one word from within me
Describes the thought without of you

Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know

One million crystals
Not enough to page your beauty
Beauty of your soul
300 days I counted
Almost a year,
A mere of missing you

Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know

Once again waters change
Winter spell comes to life again

Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know

Ice crystals on my window
Hide frozen life inside
Ice storm outside these walls
But I feel my heart is warm

Legend Land

We headed west
To legend land
Up river to
Set feet on soil
Smell morning dew
On stubborn grass
Found grapes and vines
And sweet temptation
Keeps me alive
In my legend land I still feel how close
We are and will be
Somewhere inside me a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

For you and me
Eternity
Appears to me
From Aasgard sent

Shining through
Any time barrier
Like a wild flower's will
To stay alive
To divide the stone
To break through

My legend land
A piece of promise and hope
My legend land

Skraelings

Solitary houses by the fjord
Rain is drifting in small water chains
Silent voices talking behind walls
Fire burning keeps us warm

Will they come my way?
Will this change my fate?
Do they ask for friendship?
Do they speak my language?
Will they come my way?

The new sound arises from their base
And now it's rowing from the south
Stay and swim back and forth
Skraelings are in search for the shore

Will they come my way?
Will this change my fate?
Do they ask for friendship?
Do they speak my language?
Will they come my way?

Usher men
In the boats
Holding spears
getting close
Swear struck, Ha!
Getting low, Ha!
I don't know
Lower the swords

Will they come my way?
Will this change my fate?
Do they ask for friendship?
Do they speak my language?
Will they come my way?

Viking's Word

Can a choice be chained
When their decision is made?
Are we taking any anger away?

I don't want to change (I don't want to change)
I don't want this to stay in your heart forever (In your heart)
But the law is law and will be (indeed)
And I gave a Viking's word

Faraway landscapes receive him with grace
In bright beauty and wonders
We find truth of me
I gave a Viking's word

A Viking's word

Can a man be chained?
Can a man be free?
Through some sad winters until the end comes swift

For I will return (For I will return)
I don't want this to stay in your heart (In your heart)
But the grandeur it strained for (Live on)
But I gave a Vikings word

Faraway landscapes receive him with grace
In bright beauty and wonders
We find truth of me
I gave my Viking's word

Where we were courting, embracing in peace
In hidden safety and freedom, we court without fear
A Vikings word.

Faraway landscapes receive him with grace
In bright beauty and wonders
We find truth of me
I gave a Viking's word

The Crossing

In the fields, bequeath the beach
I hold my shield before me
May the Gods be with me

North man determined not to fail
leave your foray behind
Northern wind in our sails
The crossing becomes our life

We dive to sea beyond the mist
The sun turns red before us
May the Gods be with us

North man determined not to fail
leave your foray behind
Northern wind in our sails
The crossing becomes our life

North man determined not to fail
leave your foray behind
Northern wind in our sails
The crossing becomes our life

Odin!

North man determined not to fail
leave your foray behind
Northern wind in our sails
The crossing becomes our life

North man determined not to fail
leave your foray behind
Northern wind in our sails
The crossing becomes our life

Lyset

Lyset er evig
Lyset er livet
Gjennom �rtusener
Gjennom vegger

Avskjed fra dypet
Avskjed fra m�rket
Sol, stjerner, m�ne
Evige fakler

Lyset er vakkert
Lyset er veien
Gjennom stormer
Gjennom kriger

[English translation:]

The light

The light is eternal
The light is the life
Through the millenniums
Through the walls

Farewell from the deep
Farewell from the dark
Sun, stars, moon
Eternal torches

The light is beautiful
The light is the way
Through the storms
Through the wars

Legend Land (Extended Version)

We headed west
To legend land
Up river to
Set feet on soil
Smell morning dew
on stubborn grass
Found grapes and vines
And sweet temptation

Keeps me alive (Keeps me alive)
In my legend land I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

For you and me
Eternity
Appears to me
From Asgard sent

Shining through
Any time barrier
Like a wild flowers will
To stay alive
To divide the stone
To break through

Legend land I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

In my dreams a Legend land
A piece of promise and hope
in my heart, keeps me alive

Legend land I still feel how close

A piece of promise and hope

Legend land
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

Legend land
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

Njord

The God of Storms will you hear me
The shore is close but I fear it
Njord
I am lost on my course to Gardarike
Caught in a fiery temper

Njord
When you touch the earth
With golden sun rays
Njord
Your white palace embraced in gold
Vanir God - I am Njord
Send me waves
Like silk from the East
Njord
And skin of a maiden's cheeks
Nine wave maidens arise

The ruler of winds will you save me
My hopes are strong but you guide me
I am lost on my course to Gardarike
Caught in a stormy weather

Storm lay down your sword
Silence your breath
Allay your tempest now
Ægir be aware
Be aware

Sea be calm and clear tonight
Silence your waves
Njord

Becalm your anger now
Storm lay down your sword
Ægir be aware
Be aware

My Destiny

My destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My destiny
My destiny...

I'm so lost, I am damned
In this grey lonely valley (I'm damned)
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash (and ash)
A color red
Forsaken blood on ice
The evening dance on me
And do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dance on me
Do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling, falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

My destiny (it's my destiny)
My destiny (my destiny)
My destiny

Emerald Island

Iathghlas Oileán i mo chroi
Fan liom go deo
Green Eden
Green Eden

Emerald Island
Can you hear me calling
Emerald Island
Can you hear me mourning

I turn around
I watch her disappearing
My path my life and soul
The ground of all my hopes
Stay with me
Stay with me

Hardly dare I to behold
The shore is turning small
She's fairer than the sun
Lovelier than any crown
Stay with me
Stay with me

My heart has drown resolute
My courage valiant
My strength may wish to turn
Through my spirit is awake
You hold my soul
I hold his soul
I hold his soul
His heart filled with resolution
His courage valiant
My his strength never turn him down
For his spirit is guiding him

Take the Devil in Me

I am drifting away
I've counted my last days
Between my lips a silent cry

I swore to the Gods
I will let grace win
The battle of my heart

I cry for angels to save me
Take the devil in me
Save me for I've been mistaken
Save one moment of my life
Take the devil in me

A mind at peace with every spirit
Before I leave I shall forgive

My heart stops beating
It makes me see how bright life could have been

Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Through Our Veins

When nothing was
No sky no sea
But endless space within and around
No earth no sun no sound
Only silence to be found

Break the silence with your divine breath
Let the blood...
Run through our veins
Do you feel desire to arise
Will you be fire I'll be ice
Into the void we shall unite
Will you be day I will be night
Let the blood run through our veins

In distant times
When nothing flowered
Beneath the sun in soothing rain
No sand no ground no mountain
Only darkness to be found
End the silence with your divine breath
Let the blood...

. Irish Rain

Let the rain kiss you
Wash away my pain
A minute to keep silence
Time to think and time to weep

Irish rain
It's the only thing I share with you tonight
Irish rain lullaby

Let the dark embrace you
Like a feather-bed
A moment to seek silence
Time to pray for inner peace

Let the moon enlighten you
Like a midnight star
Is there a heaven great enough
To spread my holy love for you

Northbound

I have come by the sea-way home
I'm returning to where I belong
I travelled through countries of foreign belief
I've tasted the wine of the youth
But I am...

Northbound
Each day I am without you
Is like day-light without sun
Each night I rest without you
Is a king without his crown
In her eyes burns a light that will guide my way
Northbound I can only rely on my will to go
North again

There's a silence that comforts my ears
There's a purity streaming out in the wind

I will be home

Northbound
Fortnight since I saw her
Wonders never appear half-heartedly
Fortnight since I touched her
I am home
I am home

Ragnarok

Chariots are leaving
I see the leaves falling
Winter and coldness
Freezing the rain

Fimbulvetr
Savage winter
Wolves chasing the sun and the moon

Heimdall blow your horn
Ragnarok will end us all

Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all
Ragnarok
The voices of chaos screaming
Through the halls of Åsgård
Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all

Life stops breathing
I watch the flowers wither
Tyr flying in vain
Groaning with pain

Nidhug dragon
Gnawing at the roots of Yggdrasil

Heimdall blow your horn
Loki's army shatters all

Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all
Ragnarok
The throes of pain screaming
Through the plains of Vigrid
Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all

Downfall of the gods
World serpent raises into the waves
Ragnarok will end us all
Evil calls - crushes all
Last army rides

Wintres worma Þonne won cymeð
Norðan onsendð

Blackness strangles the daybreak
Winter shouting with thunder
Bloodshed - murderers - ruins
Gods and goddesses plunder
The end of everyone and everything

Morgenland

La min sjel sveve med din vind
Sveve
Over havet i bølgesang
Seile

Morgenland
Morgenland

Vask meg ren i tåkens slør
Leve
La meg finne mitt morgenland
Leve

La mitt haap sveve i ditt lys
Sveve
Gjennom daler av ordets klang
Synge

The Holy Bond

There's a holy bond between us no one can erase
Like silken thread it holds us fast
It's unbreakable

Because there's hope enough to drown my fears
There is faith enough to dry my tears
These memories I cling to
There's a holy bond between me and you
Between me and you

There's a magic bond between us no one can replace
When I call your name I can sense you are here
In my horizon

Dypt i mitt indre har farenes makt - i mitt indre
Bitt seg til rette - en truende pakt

There's a magic bond between us which never can be torn
Like silken thread it holds us fast forever

Dypt i mitt indre - mitt indre - farenes makt

Frøya's Theme

Frøya
Blue her eyes
Gold of hair
A maiden so fair

Her skin so pure
Splendid and slim
Goddess of love
Brightened and white
Goddess of love
Brightened and white

Eigandi valfalls
Home of the slain
Eigandi valfalls
Home of the slain
Gave her heart to the sun
To the sun

Wandering eyes... of a man
Leaving her... beauty counts
A journey of... no return
To the ends... of the worlds

Tears running across her face
Turning oh so pale
Red tear-drops striking the earth
Like stones of gold

Lost in despair
I'm drowning in sorrow
She cast a shadow upon the earth
Showing no fear
Never ending fire

Frøya
Sore her eyes
Of golden tears
A heart so torn

Wandering eyes... of a man
Leaving her... beauty counts
A journey of... no return
To the ends... of the worlds

Tears running across her face
Turning bright like pearls
There she found him under a tree
They rose as one

Like the phoenix
Out of the ashes
She cast a shadow upon the earth
Endlessly waiting
His goddess appeared
They rose as one into her halls

My Destiny

My destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My destiny
My destiny...

I'm so lost, I am damned
In this grey lonely valley (I'm damned)
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash (and ash)
A color red
Forsaken blood on ice
The evening dance on me
And do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dance on me
Do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling, falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

My destiny (it's my destiny)
My destiny (my destiny)
My destiny

The Battle Of Maldon

Low tide river near Blackwater
Leaving a bridge for us
Three thousand men behind their shields
Warriors of the North
Of the North

I'm not afraid
My weapon is raised
To slay the first man standing in my way
And if I fall, I know where I go

Battle of Maldon

Hear you seafarer this is our ground
Leaving no choice for us
We will defend what we have build
From the warriors of the north
Of the North

I'm not afraid
My weapon is raised
To slay the first man standing in my way
And if I fall, I know where I go

Battle of Maldon

We're not afraid
Our weapons are raised
To slay every man standing in our way
Then if we fall, we know where we go

Battle of Maldon

Scarborough Fair (Acoustic Version)

Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground).
Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain).
Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).

Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears).
Between salt water and the sea strands (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill).
And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

Nine Wave Maidens

Nine wave maidens
Giant beauties
Soundly asleep on Midgard sands

Someone is walking
Hungry eyes gazing
The guard of the sky beholding their pride

Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience never breaking
Oh how they blind a traveler's heart

Atla, Sindur, Egia, Ulfrun
Never profound
Never alone

Heimdall born was he of mother's nine
Heimdall son is he of sisters nine

Calling the waves

Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience unbreakable
Oh how they blind a traveler's eye

Calling nine waves
Singing in the shadows
What else do they haunt than a lonely man's heart
