Falkenbach - Skirnir lyrics

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 d**h 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 [Inspired by the Skirnismal]
