Skirnir - Falkenbach

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
