Select language to translate this lyric
Carve in stone, carve for the family's legacy
Cherish and die, love with the ardor of youth
Claws of ravens grasp the harvest of the bare
Whisper an oath the hands are closed, the runes rest in sejd
In time immemorial, the moss the ancient lay
Ancestor's sword folded against the blade's hilt
Cut in turf, hung in the vault of the spear
Whispering an oath the hands were closed, the runes rest now
Under the earth's jewels walk, brothers swore
Aes testify the bond of blood, there the land is sanctified with sæmja and law
Sanctify a knife, cut for the peace of the gods
Swear in faith, chained in the sap of life
Walk in guilt , together with death consecrated
Whispering an oath the hands were joined, the runes rest now
Under the earth's jewelry goes, brothers swore
Aes testify the bond of blood, then r the ground was fertilized with flattery and law
Never failing in expected battle, against the enemy they stood
Always the revenge was faithful, of the bonds of blood that were cast in soil
Beneath the earth's jewel goes, brothers swore
Asar bears witness to the bond of blood, where the ground was fertilized with coddling and law
