Peersen / Lyrics: K. Grutle / Translation: E. Selvik) I eit åndsforlatt land Gjallar horn på ny ljomar mot dei alle som trur dei sanninga eig, som fører blinde i vilse. Deg sjølv gjeven deg sjølv Lat oss fara heim, under lauvets ly Samlas heime på ny, Hugse netter ni All tid - me har vandra under vinger - av vilse All tid - me har venta på at vinteren - slepp grepet Lat oss fara heim, under lauvets ly Samlast heime på ny, Hugse netter ni ORIGINAL LYRICS (ENGLISH): Return to Yggdrasill (Music: I. Peersen / Lyrics: K. Grutle) A new sound heard throughout the land From which the spirits had left ages ago Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan outer worlds For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting It is all for the taking, the world for their making We will gather again Under the leaves We will gather again In honour of the nine nights For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end We will gather again To praise the courage We will gather again To watch the harvest
