Ofärd - Völvans Spådom - Sözleri

Völva! Rístu upp gamla, vitra kona.

Opnaðu dauð, hvít augun.

Horfðu í hyldýpið.

Til ókomna daga.

Völva!

Hvað sérðu? Hvernig endar þetta?

Garm nu gräsligt skäller

framför Gnipahålan;

fjättern skall brista,

och fri blir ulven.

Då skälver Yggdrasil,

urträdet jämrar sig.



Bröder banemän bliva,

systrars barn

sitt släktskap spilla;

vindålder, vargålder,

hårt är i världen,

yxtid, klingtid,

innan världen störtas;

Naglfar lossnar.



Solen svartnar,

jord sänkes i hav,



flammande stjärnor från fästet falla

upp ångar imma, och elden lågar.



Dunklets drake flygande nalkas,

nedifrån Nidafjäll.

Människors kroppar,

på vingarna bär.



Men gammal är hon, trött är hon,

nu skall hon åter sjunka.

The cover illustrates a Völva (an alleged seer and practitioner of sejd) holding a staff that resembles the Viking Age artifact (SHM inventory no. 25840) found in Klinta, Öland, in 1957. The raised stones and surrounding nature capture the essence of the typical cultural landscape seen in Southern Öland. The original painting was made by contemporary artist Martin Enrique Pelozo especially for this single.

In case you wondered, Ofärd do not believe in politics, fundamentalism, religious or racial intolerance, or any other kind of narrow-minded behaviour. They believe in Nature, Music and the strong bonds that unite lovers, family and brethren.
