Gattir allar gates guess us all
adur gangi fram
others go forward
um skodast skyli
um skyggnast skyli
em shadows em shudder
Þvi at ovist er at vita
unknowing is to know
hvar ovinir each unknowing
sitja a fleti fyrir
sits by fleeting fires fireflies
Guests are in come
where shall so sit
soft are sisters
so a burning skull
go sing em freest first
Elders are berries
ok solar syn ok solar sight
ok seeing matter hopes
better alive than unalive
not lost at life
with lust for life ok ok
The room was busy
the living were noisy
crowding out the place
the dead were marching through
noone was paying attention
thats when I started to
I started to shake
ok ok when I started to
scook push sharken churn
ok wander ok scacan
thats when I started to shake
