The Last Song of the Skald

Howl of the wind among the fjords.
Ashes have cooled on the stones.


My voice is broken, strings are like ice,
In these lands, only silence awaits.
The old gods have forgotten the paths,
I have nowhere else to go.
Frost has covered the wooden deck,
I have already let go of all legends.

Припев
This is the last song that breathes in the dawn.
There is no triumph, no fury in it.
Only exhaustion and the whisper of the wave,
Dreams that were born for this earth.
The sound breaks, the fire fades —
The word goes into the endless expanse.


Ships sleep on the cold sandy bottom,
Shadows of heroes come to me.
Runic script has lost its meaning,
Time mercilessly erases any thought.
A lonely chord trembles in the fingers,
No one will take this ford anymore.

Припев
This is the last song that breathes in the dawn.
There is no triumph, no fury in it.
Only exhaustion and the whisper of the wave,
Dreams that were born for this earth.
The sound breaks, the fire fades —
The word goes into the endless expanse.


No one to listen, and no one to sing,
Continuing to burn in the night sky,
Stardust covers the tracks.
A step to the great and eternal water.



Припев
This is the last song that breathes in the dawn.
There is no triumph, no fury in it.
Only exhaustion and the whisper of the wave,
Dreams that were born for this earth.
The sound breaks, the fire fades —
The word goes into the endless expanse.


Whisper of the wave...
Ash and snow...
The age is over.
The age is over...
