lyrics

morþcrundel
Swefecere

Were Broken
Words spoken
Heartbeat like deer feet rolling
Were falling, deaths calling
The souls of men are in the air

No solace in the place of woe
Brothers feed now for the crow
Bones of trees stand over me
Bones of men lie underneath

Sword has fallen from the hand
Tears have fallen from the sky
Screams of war they're in my head
Calling out from earthen bed

After blood has ceased to flow
Into the roots that dwell below
Every rise and every set
The sting of loss beats in my chest

Akin to wolves among the trees
Ghosts will stalk and follow me
All the things i could have done
to save the souls of those I love

Red was dancing in the fields
Burned away the black of night
Raven spoke to me in tongues
Sang to me of shades in Hel

So I walk upon the hill
Where the ancients drank their fill
With the stones I seek for peace
Inside the earth to find release

morþcrundel
Swefecere
EorÞbyrgenn
Slumere

Tongues bleeding
Lungs screaming
Heartbeat like bulls stampeding
There fallen cold autumn
the smell of leaves is in the air

I wake beneath the dappled sky
Wipe the salt out of my eyes
Evermore i hear their cries
Every set and every rise

Only here beside this tomb
Sleeping in the earthen womb
Do their faces come to me
Whisper softly as i sleep

After the life has ceased to grow
Out of the roots that dwell below
Every thought is now of death
How to join them in the flesh

Do not follow us my dear
Wipe away your falling tears
Pick the sword up from the ground
Let your courage be unbound

From the chains of loss and grief
Plant the seeds and cut the wheat
Build yourself up strong and new
Find the others find the few

Walk together through the land
Through the forest fields and sand
Find the men who took your love
Kill the creatures shed the blood

A meditative journey to the land of primal rituals and raw vital energy. Wander deep into the world of paleo incantations and may Cernunnos the Horned One watch over you all. Anders Kvistr
