Walknut cover (Motherland Ostenvegr)

lyrics

Cierr norðdæles blodes
Deaþ ond angmodnes
Eall inn þv
Gastas ond heagorvne

Vnder fealv bansegnas heafonas
Hƿær heorvsƿealƿan singaþ hira mode
Hƿæt ƿiteþ þin isern vnsƿefen
Æþel Eastƿeg?

Endelease feldas
Genipv ond angrislicv ƿvdv
Beargas ymb eabrerde
Ond ofer hærfeste ƿinde

Langfæ forgeaton leoþ
Eorðcynn baan ymb drose
Beadogriman ond beadomeceas rvst
Bræþ byrignessa ond hærfest eorð

Bregvrofæc ealde
A spræca to me
Med grimlicvm hleoþrvm holdvm
Vnfordƿinaþvm gemyndigvm

Cierr norðdæles blodes
Deaþ ond angmodnes
Eall inn þv
Gastas ond heagorvne





translation:

Once of Northern blood
Death and tragedy
Everything in you
Ghosts and mystery

Under the grey banners of skies
Where falkons sing their pride
What haunts your iron dreams
Motherland Ostenvegr?

Endless fields
Mists and horrid woods
Barrows by the riverbanks
And autumn wind above

Long forgotten songs
Human bones in the dirt
Helmets and swords in rust
The smell of graves and autumn soil

Mighty olden oaks
Always speak to me
With their grim voices of the dead
With their neverfading memories

Once of Northern blood
Death and tragedy
Everything in you
Ghosts and mystery
