lyrics

Tiden er kommet som engang var fortalt
der menneskets verden i sorg skal bli lagt
Tre kalde vintre legger sin bleke arm
rundt Mannheims frostbetonte land

Et skall av skjebnens dystre tone
setter sprekker i dødens frosne krone
Sulten venter verden derunder
forbi porten og Hels ulvehunder
Fra en verden av evig fortapelse
til en annen med bøddelens fortatelse

En hyklersk strid blant levninger
fortapt i vinterdød
graver åpne på snøen så blodrød
Liv går tapt ved fiendens og ens egen hånd
spunnet blir nornenes skjebnesbånd
Lagt i frossen aske

Den fortviltes kamp- tårer bundet til evighet
Alle smerteskrik samles- til helvetes borgens profet
Så trist alt er- det sørgelig fortalt
Farvel - en tom evighet, alt er forfalt

Tid er ei tid her mer
Liv er ei liv noensted
Et øye kan ei som et øye se
Forsvunnet er alt folk og fe
Hører ei en vissen tone mer
Sanser intet, føler intet
Vinterdøden flere hundre dager lange
tok alt.. men vent..

English translation:

Winterdeath

Time has arisen as erstwhile was foretold
that humankind’s kingdoms be laid in grief’s mould
Three ice-cold winters layer their pallid arm
round Mannheim’s frost-beridden land

A shell of fortune’s dismal tones
wreaking cracks in the frozen crown that death owns
Hungry waiting stronghold thereunder
Past the gate’s ban and Hel’s hoary watcher
From a kingdom of eternal malison
to another by hangman’s absolution

A two-faced feud ’tween vestiges
astray in winterdeath
snow made bloodred by graveyard’s freed breath
Lives laid waste by foe’s own and one’s very hand
Norns have been spinning the weirding band
Laid in frozen ashes

The wretched at war – tears shackled to endlessness
All cries of pain gather – to fortified hellfire’s seeress
So grim all is – bespoken is regret
Farewell – a void endlessness, all has decayed

Time is no more time here
Life is not life anywhere
An eye cannot see as eyes see
Departed are both folk and fay
Hear not one more withered sound
Sense nothing, feel nothing
Winterdeath abiding days by hundreds many
reft all… but wait…

A masterpiece of Folk Metal. You know how I know? When I get goosebumps after listening to a album. Every song is perfection, beautifully crafted. Haunting vocals and violin, blazing guitar solos - it's all here. 10/10! SwordnBoard
