Lyrics:

Now that the wind called my name
And my star had faded now hardly a glimpse
up in the empty space
And the wise one-eyed great father
in the sky stilled my flame

For the ones who stood me near
And you few who were me dear
I ask of thee to have no doubts and no fears

For when the great clouds fills the air
And the thunder roars from o, so
far away up in the sky
Then for sure you will know that I have
reached the joyous hall up high

With my bloodbrothers at side
All sons of father with one eye
We were all born in the land of the blood on ice

And now you all who might hear my song
Brought to you by the northern wind have no fear
Though the night may seem so everlasting
and forever dark

There will come a golden dawn
At ends of nights for all yee on whom
Upon the northstar always shines

The vast gates to hall up high
Shall stand open wide and welcome you
with all its within
And Oden shall hail us bearers of a pounding
Hammerheart

[TheInsertus]

I wish... to die with this song...

[MiKhAiL0vIcH]

This should be the anthem of the united Scandinavia! Hail Quorthon!

[Morkertrollet]

To day is Ace "Quorthon" Forsberg's birthday...he would have been 46 to day if he still had walked amongst us...but instead there is a birthdayparty in valhall too his honor! CHEERS ACE!!!

[SROCeallaigh]

@ronniesoak2003 It comes from Holst's Jupiter...I did not know that about Jerusalem, must be selected passages because I can't imagine Quorthon making clear biblical references in his songs...will have to compare the lyrics with those in ELP's Jerusalem

[ronniesoak2003]

@SROCeallaigh Aqctaully music by Sir hubert parry, not Holst, and the HYmn jerusalem was what he wrote the music for (William Blakes words) quorthon has adapted this magnificently

[ronniesoak2003]

dude, the music is by Sir Hubert Parry, not Gustav holst. was what was written to set William blakes "jerusalem" to. And herree Quorthon sets his won words to it,. awesome.

[kozagong]
