lyrics
The Great Ones
Words by Andonis Violaris
Music by Adam Violaris
Somewhere deep in time, hidden by mists
Shroud-like clouds part
Four Great Ones look down
Cruelly they smile on our woes
From great Asgard’s shores the Great Ones came
Cast their boreal light into our lives
Rite of flaming spear that sears the wind
Mighty Thor’s great hammer rends the air
Here where tall stones stand dark as the night
Offer prayers to Odin’s might
Feared Loki’s stare feeds our despair
Do they care
From Valhalla’s halls
The Great Ones come
Valkyries, then Twilight of the Gods
Goddess of the wolves that cry at night
Help us ease our sorrows and our fright
Back to Asgard’s shores
The Great Ones go
Leaving just their tales to help our lives
Sky-cloaked gods that stare
With fearsome eyes
Sated; laugh and leave us when they’re done
Don’t leave us, stay with us (repeat)
Don’t leave us, don’t leave us
Stay with us now!
(Repeat in Anglo-Saxon):
Abiddan giernes ge bidden ci egan
Abiddan giernes maestra nu
Back to Asgard’s shores
The Great Ones go
Leaving just their tales to help our lives
Sky-cloaked gods that stare
With fearsome eyes
Sated; laugh and leave us when they’re done
Don’t leave us, stay with us (repeat twice)
Don’t leave us now!
Don’t leave us, stay with us (repeat)
Don’t leave us, don’t leave us
Stay with us now!

Like a fast paced horror movie with guitars. Except you never want it to end. Until maybe their next album comes out.

The songs of this album create an ancient, otherworldly ambiance and touch my heart with their rapturous melodies. The lovely voice of Lady Erutan is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes.
