Fading Tree

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
