Árás - Skálmöld

Kvöld, úr norðri kólna fer

Kemur yfir heiðar:

Vængjasláttur, vætta her

Varúlfar til reiðar

Ég reið yfir landið mitt, reri' út á fjörð

Rólegur sjórinn, ég lofaði Njörð

Í ljósanna skiptum ég leit upp í Skörð

Ljót var sú sýn er mér mætti

Kom yfir brúnina kolsvartur her

Ég kúventi bátnum og hraðaði mér

Vængirnir steinrunnir, vígtannager

Og væl sem nú kyrrðina tætti

Skugga hann varpaði, skelfileg sjón

Skálmöld var risin og mikið varð tjón

Drukknaði þannig mín dýrasta bón

Drepið var allt sem ég unni

Verja þau átti en var til þess seinn

Viti menn, lifandi eftir ei neinn

Ataður svörður sem áður var hreinn

Allt mitt var hrunið að grunni

Ég sá:

Barnið mitt tætt, blóðugt og hrætt

Ég sá:

Barið á húsgripum mínum og ætt

Ég sá:

Saklaust blóð, fljóta um fljóð

Ég sá:

Fjölskyldu slátrað sem var mér svo góð

Ég sá:

Deyja mær, dæturnar tvær

Ég sá:

Dreyrrauðar klærnar sem læstust í þær

Ég sá:

Visna jurt, var einhvers spurt?

Ég sá:

Vágestinn glotta og halda á burt

Gekk um garð

Gríðarskarð

Höggvið hart

Hel mig snart

Vængjuð vá

Vargur sá

Nafn hans nefnt

Nú skal hefnt

Heit er gefið, heit sem verður efnt

Evening, from the north cools leaves

Across the moors:

Wing, wet army

Werewolves to ride

I rode across my country, rowing out into the fjord

The calm sea, I promised Njörð

In the light of the lights I looked up at Skörð

The vision I could see was ugly

Came across the edge a coal-black army

I hoisted the boat and hurried

The wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion

And a howl that now tore the silence

The shadow he cast, a frightening sight

Poetry was erected and much damage was done

Thus drowned my most precious plea

Killing was all I loved

They had to defend but it was too late

Wise men, living after no one

Eaten swords that were previously clean

My whole thing had collapsed to the ground

I saw:

My baby is torn, bloody and scared

I saw:

Knock on my belongings and family

I saw:

Innocent blood, floating on the river

I saw:

A family slaughtered that was so good to me

I saw:

Maiden dies, the two daughters

I saw:

The crimson claws locked in them

I saw:

Withered herb, was anyone asked?

I saw:

The weakest grin and hold off

Went around the yard

Huge gap

Hit hard

Heal me soon

Winged wow

The wolf saw

His name mentioned

Now let's take revenge

A promise is made, a promise that will be fulfilled
