Einherjer - The Pathfinder And The Prophetess

Album: Odin Owns Ye All
Year: 1998

[Lyrics]

[The Prophetess:]
Who is this man, who for me is unknown
Who forces me to go such a hard way
I am covered with snow, beaten by rain
I am wet through by dew
& death I have known for a long time

[The Pathfinder:]
I am the pathfinder, accustomed to battle
For whom is the hall decked here in Helheim
Silence not prophetess, I seek your answers
Who shall bring death to the son of Odin

[The Prophetess:]
For Balder the mead
A drink for the noble
I was forced to speak
Now silence is my name
Hod shall guide him
Shall be his bane
I was forced to speak
Now silence is my name

[The Pathfinder:]
Tell me this, who shall punish this deed
Kill Balders killer and place him on the pyre
[The Prophetess:]
A child, one night old, shall kill Balders killer
Not wash his hands nor comb his hair
Until the fire burns
[The Pathfinder:]
Tell me this; What maidens are those,
Who weeps such heavy tears?
[The Prophetess:]
You are no Volve, but a mother of giants.
Right you are Odin
See you after the wolf

[The Prohetess:]
For Balder the mead
A drink for the noble
I was forced to speak
Now silence is my name

Hod shall guide him
Shall be his bane
I was forced to speak
Now silence is my name

My favourite Einherjer chorus! Really beatiful!

[screambloodykunt]

I dont know why people havnt commented these. Einherjer a great viking band! I drink my beer to this song! Cheers and thanks for posting!

@DarkAustin whenever i hear that part...it brings to mind a bunch of vikings in a state of drunken melancholy...one of my favorite songs of Einherjer...too bad they broke up

[duranathor]

sehr schön musiziert! für mich ein klassiker auf ewigkeit!

[DarkAustin]

Awesome song! love the lyrics! makes we want to get drink with my kindsmen and sing "FOR BALDER THE MEAD! A DRINK FOR THE NOBLE! I WAS FORCED TO SPEAK, NOW SILENCE IS MY NAME!"

[XTSY]

Trippy! 5 stars!

[ItsNotaTuhmah]

But it's the best IMO. It's very melodic, some progressive influence, great vocals and excellent lyrics.

This guys deserves more visits and comments, instead the bunch of 'happy drunken' folk metal bands around.

probably because this album is "lighter" than their other albums

Wer auf normalen Gesang in Verbindung mit Viking-Metal steht, dem könnte es gefallen!
