Lyrics to Skirnir

Long is one night, and long the second one;

How can I.... how can I wait through three?



Once a month.... a month seemed less to me

Compared to this one night of waiting for her....



As dear to no man in days past

Was maid as she is to me:

But no elf, no god, will grant my prayer

That I may lie with her....



Hail to thee, Veraldur!!!



Long is one night, and long the second one;

How can I.... how can I wait through three?



Once a month.... a month seemed less to me

Compared to this one night of waiting for her....



Arise, Skirnir, now ride swiftly to Frey, my son,

And ask him this:

With whom is the Wise one so angry,

So sad at hearth?



Hail to thee, Veraldur!!!



To stake life on the luck of the dice

Is better than to be a coward:

The day of my death is by fate,

My time is fixed.



Night has fallen:

Now we must ride over the misty mountains,

The fells of the troll-folk;

We shall both arrive or both fall

....into the hands of Gymir.



Hail to thee, Veraldur
