Hail -- hail to the gods
That our ancestors praised in the woods
Skald -- narrate us the tale

Of the god with sorrow in his heart
Tell us his fears


Odin the great sits enthroned hlidskialf
Looking down to midgard in deep grief


Tears in the eye you wouldn't believe it
Tears in the eye of the great god
See the fall of odin's warriors

Snow keeps falling in this frozen land

Hail -- hail to the gods

That our ancestors saw in the skies
Snow -- coating the land
Endless darkness rises from now

No more light

Under the oak we used to meet

To praise the gods of forgotten times
Now it stands alone in the forest glade
The whipping winds tear if the leaves

No one sees the fading tree
It passes away from the light of day
