Mixed by Iver Sandøy/Solslottet Studio. Helvegen Eg songane søkte Eg songane sende då den djupaste brunni gav meg dråpar så ramme av Valfaders pant Alt veit eg, Odin kvar du auge løynde Kven skal synge meg i daudsvevna slynge meg når eg helvegen går og dei spora eg trår er kalde, så kalde Årle ell i dagars hell enn veit ravnen om eg fell Når du ved helgrindi står og når du laus deg må rive skal eg fylgje deg yver gjallarbrui med min song Du blir løyst frå banda som bind deg Du er løyst frå banda som batt deg The Way to Hel I sought the songs I sent the songs when the deepest well offered drops so mighty of Valfather’s pledge I know it all, Odin where you hid your eye Who will sing me in the death-sleep sling me when I walk the road to Hel and the tracks I tread are cold, so cold Early or in fading day still the raven knows if I fall When you stand by the gate of Hel and when you must tear loose follow you I shall across the bridge of Gjöll with my song You become free from the bonds that bind you You are free from the bonds that bound you
