Moonsorrow - Pakanajuhla

This is my first video, hope you like it.

Finnish lyrics:
PAKANAJUHLA

Veljet sekä siskot,
kokoontukaamme yhteen pöytään!
On meidän malja nostettava
uudelle jumalalle.

Tähden alla syntynyt
meidän seuraamme nyt liittyy.
Hän syö kaikki pöydän antimet
ja vapahtajaksemme ilmoittautuu.

Ketkä asettivat sankarinsa juhlittaviksi
aina meidän pyhiemme aikaan?
Ja he toistuvasti julkeavat puhua meistä häpäisijöinä!

Juopot eivät ulos astu lain,
valvova isäntä vaihtuu vain.
Sillä jok' ikistä päivää kuluvaa
seuraa loputon pimeä yö.

Pian suden uneen
taas vaipua saa...

English lyrics:
PAGAN FEAST

Brothers and sisters,
gather around the table!
A chalice we have to raise
to a god of an unknown faith.

The one born under a star
now joins our company.
He eats all yield of the festive table
and declares himself our savior.

Who did arrange the celebration of their holy
always on the days of our feasts?
And again and again they dare speak of us as blasphemers!

Drunkards never step out of the door,
observing masters alone taking turns.
For every passing day in human life
is followed by an endless dark of night.

Into a wolf's dream
we soon may fall again...

@Crosell There are still people who truly worship the old nordic gods, not many though, but there are.

@HelsinkiXdrunkcore About Sweden...You may just as well ask why the Scandinavian countries didn't help Iceland when Britain invaded it. It's not a question of solidarity. It's a question of whether a country is allowed by the protagonists to remain neutral.

In Finnish Winter War in November 1939 Sweden declared itself not neutral, but ”non-belligerent”. This allowed the country to send volunteers and weapons to Finland.

@HelsinkiXdrunkcore In reality what could Norway and Denmark actually do?

Both had weak militaries and even if stronger couldn't have fought Germany alone as Britain and the allies were in no position to send any meaningful aid to them.

@dblk

And all off that brave Viking Blood made Germans invading Denmark the shortest war in history, Norway made a such brave effort to stop the invasion...That I have no idea of what happened, other than that they got totally invaded.

And Sweden, du gamla, du fria, you land willing to betray your olderst ally and the only defence you ever had against the Russians.

Ukko over all.

@randomjesse Thanks, I wasn't aware of this saga.

Indeed in the Ynglinga saga, Fornjotr is a giant who rules over Finland, but where does it say that he is Finnish?

Furthermore, I'm sure you realize that Ynglinga saga is a mythological tale, not a historical text?

[dblk]

@randomjesse Yes, and Finnish language also has loan words from Slavic languages and even Sanskrit. No doubt Ancient Finns had contact with Germanic people, such as the Swedes.

But what does all this have to do with Moonsorrow having a runestone on their album cover? Where are the Finnish runestones if they are of the same cultural influence?

[dblk]

@randomjesse Who cares what they are called. I'm not interested in word etymology. They made conquests to Iceland, Greenland, Russia, Canada, British Islands... And had colonies in all those places. If that's not a glorious past, I don't know what is.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by slagging them off.
