Fires in the Dark

ór Ymis holdi

var jörð of sköpuð

en ór sveita sær

björg ór beinum

baðmr ór hári

en ór hausi himinn

ór Ymis holdi

(From the body of Ymir)

var jörð of sköpuð

(Earth was created)

en ór sveita sær

(From his blood became sea)

björg ór beinum

(Stone from his bones)

baðmr ór hári

(Bushes from his hair)

en ór hausi himinn

(And from his skull the heavens)

Inseparable walkers – through the dark

A journey towards the cores

From general to singular

Illusions rise from their pits

Weary eyes look to the sky

Carrier of the flame – the emerging morning self

Arisen like an alien dawn

Chords in a life not yet played

Echoes of a past not yet written

Memories drawn from dreams of giants

The ancient gods told us where to go

Mountains told us how to be

The fertile earth told us who we are

Fields of long gone presence

We will reach the havens

The lesser known, deeper path

Arisen like an alien dawn

Chords in a life not yet played

Echoes of a past not yet written

Memories drawn from dreams of giants

The ancient gods told us where to go

Mountains told us how to be

In the eye of the storm, we were born

We see the fires in the dark
