Fading Tree

1. Hail hail to the gods
That our ancestors praised in the woods
Skald narrate us the tale
Of the god with sorrow in his heart.

Odin the great sits enthroned hlidskialf
Looking down to midgard in deep grief.

[Chorus:]
Tears in the eye you wouldn't believe it
Tears in the eye of the great god
See the fall of odin's warriors
The snow keeps falling on this frozen land.

2. Hail hail to the gods
That our ancestors saw in the skies
Snow coating the land
Eternal darkness rises from now.

[Chorus]

3. Under the oak
We used to meet
To praise the gods
Of forgotten times.

Now it stands alone
In the forrest glade
The whipping winds
Tear of the leaves.

No one sees
The fading tree
It passes away
From the light of day.

Odin the great sits enthroned hlidskialf
Looking down to midgard in deep grief.

[Chorus]
