    Lyrics
    morþcrundel
    Swefecere
    Were Broken
    Words spoken
    Heartbeat like deer feet rolling
    Were falling, deaths calling
    The souls of men are in the air
    No solace in the place of woe
    Brothers feed now for the crow
    Bones of trees stand over me
    Bones of men lie underneath
    Sword has fallen from the hand
    Tears have fallen from the sky
    Screams of war they're in my head
    Calling out from earthen bed
    After blood has ceased to flow
    Into the roots that dwell below
    Every rise and every set
    The sting of loss beats in my chest
    Akin to wolves among the trees
    Ghosts will stalk and follow me
    All the things i could have done
    to save the souls of those I love
    Red was dancing in the fields
    Burned away the black of night
    Raven spoke to me in tongues
    Sang to me of shades in Hel
    So I walk upon the hill
    Where the ancients drank their fill
    With the stones I seek for peace
    Inside the earth to find release
    morþcrundel
    Swefecere
    EorÞbyrgenn
    Slumere
    Tongues bleeding
    Lungs screaming
    Heartbeat like bulls stampeding
    There fallen cold autumn
    the smell of leaves is in the air
    I wake beneath the dappled sky
    Wipe the salt out of my eyes
    Evermore i hear their cries
    Every set and every rise
    Only here beside this tomb
    Sleeping in the earthen womb
    Do their faces come to me
    Whisper softly as i sleep
    After the life has ceased to grow
    Out of the roots that dwell below
    Every thought is now of death
    How to join them in the flesh
    Do not follow us my dear
    Wipe away your falling tears
    Pick the sword up from the ground
    Let your courage be unbound
    From the chains of loss and grief
    Plant the seeds and cut the wheat
    Build yourself up strong and new
    Find the others find the few
    Walk together through the land
    Through the forest fields and sand
    Find the men who took your love
    Kill the creatures shed the blood
    Thanks to Shane Skerratt for designing us the Sutton Hoo Dancers.

      @@Evan_Bell same flavour basically the song is supposed to be Saxon going by the words at the beginning and the saxons were still full Germanic cousins to the Norse from the 400s till the late 700s till they became Christian but they still share blood as all the Germanic tribespeople came from subsequent migrations south by Nordic tribes like the vandals and goths

    I absolutely love the lyrics. It's not an overly complicated storyline, but every verse is so full of emotions.
    I can almost see the ravaged land with the earth dyed crimson and his eyes that go from dull hopelessness to fiery hatread. Just a tiny, tiny bit more and my nostrils would burn from the sickening smell and my ears would ring from the screams drowned in blood, all of it slowly changing into the scent of wet earth and autumn and the whispering of falling leaves.

    When I hear this song, I imagine it being sung in a Goblin's head as they pull themselves from the dirt after an adventuring party wiped out their entire village. Their filled with rage and pain and regret, but they know they can't just go charging after them or they'll die too. Sleepless nights, hearing the cries of those dead, they know they have to be courageous, but not foolish.
    Find a sword. Find any survivors. Get together, rebuild, and _plan._ There will come the right time when they can get their revenge. Until then, they'll just have to bear the weight of their failure.

      So each word, has a literal meaning, that can be used to simply describe something, but they also in context can have a more poetic way of coming across, as the word describes a more specific type of grave or sleep than how we would understand those words! Earth Burial, for instance is describing like a sacred burial mound, or a special place for the dead!

It feels to me like this inner termoil being portrayed in the music but they lyrics and singing are trying to quell that back a bit.
