Aio Drekisanis draumar

01 Heimþrá

(song of the sea)
Walk by the sea if your way is long.
The calm sea does not last.

The glow grows dim
on the ocean's rim.

Walk by the sea if your way is long.
The calm sea does not last.

A calm sea is the best path

02 Sjávarljoð

(mountain in the north)
through the storm she reaches the mountain, that rises in the north out of the ocean, and has to put her head into her neck for a long time until she sees the top

03 Fjall Í Norðri

04 Aio Drekisbani 1

(the red queen)

internally: uncontrollably vengeful

05 Rauð Drottningin

06 Fegurð Sólinni

07 Þokadraugur

08 Klettar

(helmet of terror)
In her anger the red queen entered into a pact with the dragons of the old world. The strongest among them demands revenge. The regime must be driven into the sea, storms and waves shall destroy them.
The dragonslayer knows him only to well, his payment will be high. Determined she enters his cave, to break his power.

manual to create the helmet of terror:
helmet of terror,
it shall be made in lead and when a man expects his enemies he shall imprint it on his forehead. And thou wilt conquer him.

in the darkness rises a mighty voice:
all ways lead to me.

helmet of terror that i wear between my brows
I wash from me my enemies hatred
the greed and wrath of powerful men.

and now, dragonslayer, are you afraid of me?

I carried the helmet of terror before the sons of man
and spit poison all around me
among all was i the strongest
and no weapon did i fear
among all did i find no one who was stronger than me
and everyone was afraid of me!

09 Ægishjálmur

10 Aio Drekisbani 2

I seek to do this through my work: to share my love. Love is also a mysterious thing: the more we share it, the more it multiplies.
