lyrics

Kom nærmere
Lovsigemanden taler
Lovsigemanden taler

Thorleif, søn af Siggeir
Altinget kender for ret
Du dømmes fredløs
For dine talrige niddåder
Dit svig af din hjemstavn

Røm dine jorde og drag bort
Længere bort
End kristne søger kirke
End hedninge bloter
End ravnen flyver
En lang forårsdag
I frisk brise

Kristnir menn kirkjur sækja
Heiðnir menn hof blóta
Eldr upp brennr, jörð grær

Mögr móður kallar
Ok móðir mög fæðir
Aldir elda kynda

Skip skríðr, skildir blíkja
Sól skínn, snæ leggr
Fiðr skríðr, fura vex

Valr flýgr várlangan dag
Stendr honum byrr bein
Undir báða vængi

Valr flýgr várlangan dag
Stendr honum byrr bein
Undir báða vængi

Our approach to composing the music is experimental, and has roots in musical archeology, -history, cultural history and the sagas. ... more
