Månevæven/MoonLoom

Drengr ( feat. Kveld )

It's a beautiful starry night and you stand on a large rock looking over the fjord, frost covers your cheeks but your heart feels warm. You hear the verses of the Havamal in the wind. They echo, they pass by and come back to caress your ears and make sure the words will be remembered. The Allfather speaks.

Verse 24, 25 and 28 from the Havamal.

Ósnotur maður
hyggur sér alla vera
viðhlæjendur vini.
Hittki hann finnur,
þótt þeir um hann fár lesi,
ef hann með snotrum situr.

Ósnotur maður
hyggur sér alla vera
viðhlæjendur vini;
þá það finnur,
er að þingi kemur,
að hann á formælendur fáa.

Fróður sá þykist,
er fregna kann
og segja ið sama.
Eyvitu leyna
megu ýta synir,
því er gengur um guma.

Ósnotur maður

The Moon And The Nightspirit - Eg Fele

You found yourself in the middle of a harsh snowstorm. The wind is stronger than ever and you’re seeking refuge in a famous tavern in the woods. Exhausted, you’re sitting down while the band has started playing.

The Valkyrjur (Meaning Valkyries in Old Norse) where female figures who choose who may die in battle and who may live. The Valkyries bring the chosen to the afterlife. One half of the chosen goes to Valhalla where the God Odin feasts with his warriors till Ragnarök and the other half goes to the Goddess Freya in Fólkvangr.

Lyrics (Old Norse)

Sá hon Valkyrjur vítt of komnar 
Görvar at ríða til goðþjóðar
Skuld helt skildi en Skögul önnur 
Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul ok Geirskögul 
Nú eru talðar nönnur Herjans 
Görvar at ríða grund Valkyrjur

x4
Görvar at ríða 
Görvar at ríða 
Valkyrjur

x4
Sá hon vítt ok of vítt of veröld hverja

-

On all sides I saw Valkyries assemble 
Ready to ride to the ranks of the gods 
Skuld bore the shield and Skogul rode next 
Gunnr, Hildr, Gondul and Geirskogul
For they are named Herjan's maidens 
Valkyries ready to ride over the earth

x4
Ready to ride 
Ready to ride 
Valkyries

x4
Widely I saw over all the worlds
