AURVANDIL LYRICS

1. Yearning - Prelude

[Instrumental]

2. End of an Age

Fall has come
All green is gone
A red sky is darkening
And its light is fading

The day is failing
For the dusk is coming
The wind is screaming
A dark cold arriving

Triumph of the night
Her darkness full of might
A frost moon arises
As a prelude to ices

3. Reign Of Ice (I)

One day will come
When frost won't melt
The first soft snowfall will turn
Into a desolation sight

One day has come
When eternal ice sealed their lesser souls
Frozen corpses on the ground, iced blood
Soiling the snow...
The first reign of ice has begun

Fimbulwinter!

4. A Guide to Northern Scapes

Into the dark twilight
You shine above the world
Into the dawn and dusk
You guide the wanderer
Through the shadows and mist
The star is here for us

And the winds, you rode
In times of old
We would journey toward north
Arcturus, the life force
And naught would stop us
We, twilight and darkness

5. Walking - Interlude

[Instrumental]

6. I Summon Scorn

Where once was life
I evoke dread
I summon scorn
Revel in pain

Where once was pride
Complaisance thrives
The scum of the earth
Now dictates paths

Reign in spite
Odium supreme
I summon scorn
On thy abhorred kind

To gather for the final strike
Unholy and bleak
I come forth with fury
To burn the temples to dust

7. Reign of Ice (II)

Now is an age of great battles
Innumerable armies, invincible throngs
Encounter in carnage
And brothers fight brothers

The blood of the dead
Poisons the springs
These cold and swift springs
I used to watch
Endlessly
Turned into veins

Blizzard kills the wounded
Ravens survey the dead cold sky
Mighty frost embalms the dead
And wind bears the tears, the cries

Here I stand above valleys
In which silence now rules
Veins of the earth
Why am I here?

Thus ends the world
Dimly lit by a cold sun
Snow now falls on the remains

O beloved winter

8. Gylfi Journeys

Once there was a king
A wise man skilled in magic
His name was Gylfi
Lord of the Swedes

Amazed by the Asir's wisdom
He set out on a secret trip to Asgard
On a quest for knowledge

Changed into an old man
Under the name of Gangleri
He walks in snow
Toward north

His voyage through mounts and valleys
Leads him to high peaks and deeps caves
He travels through forsaken realms
Guided by the morning star

His only companions
On this quest for answers
Are grim ravens, wind and darkness

Wanderer, at the end of your journey
In the horizon
Behold the golden hall...

9. Reaching - Finale

[Instrumental]

10. Jesus' Tod

[originally by Burzum]

En skikkelse lå der på bakken
Så vond at de blomster rundt visnet
En dyster sjel lå der på bakken
Så kald at alt vann ble til is
En skygge da falt over skogen

Da skikkelsens sjel visnet bort
For skikkelsens sjel var en skygge
En skygge av vondskapens makt
