Album: I En Tid Som Var (2002)

Arv (Lång Version)

[Lyrics: Patrik Rimmerfors]

En dag nu gryr ur svunnen tid
Rösen manar skogens mörka ed
Sälla dig till harg och griftens vida famn

Ty jorden ni gav som svedjat land
En vilja av tro som aldrig dör

Så murken äro ekens stam
Åldern minnar unge mannens värv
Han giver jorden sitt blot som eken skänker sitt blad

Ty jorden ni gav...

Se hurledes korpen far
över furan mot en helgad dal
Där vördnad råda skall, där alver städse bli

Ty jorden ni gav...

För forsarnas sång är livets stäv
Porla varligt, strömmen äro så skälmsk
Ack nejdens fagra spår, skilda vägar vi gå

Ty jorden ni gav...

[English translation:]

Heritage

A day now dawns from bygone time
Cairns exhort the forest's dark oath
To join altar and the wide embrace of the grave

For the earth you gave as burnt land
A will of faith which never dies

So rotten is the oak's trunk
Age reminds the young man's duty
He gives the earth his sacrifice like the oak gifts its leaf

For the earth you gave as burnt land
A will of faith which never dies

Se how the raves goes
Over the pine towards a hallowed valley
Where reverence shall reign, where elves will always be

For the earth you gave as burnt land
A will of faith which never dies

For the torrents' song is the song of life
Ripple gently, the current is so mischievous
Oh the country's fair tracks, separate paths we go

For the earth you gave as burnt land
A will of faith which never dies
