The Dance 가사

Ancient Gods send me a vision And I saw... A new faith on the Northern Land Veiled the Old God's faces from glances Some hearts only still keeping The memory of the past To the ancient heathen temple An old man came A crook covered with runes Sized in his hand Sitting by the stone image Done on the ground He Smiled He said: "My old eye can see the things A few can see A lot of my people died Denying a new god But the new temples Are covered with patterns Our temples were cowered with Let them frame The angels & saint's faces In songs about Christ Our melodies are kept This is the way to save our traditions Our baptized children dance On the holly glade The Old Dances They sing about the new saints Like ancient scalds About the Asgard Gods" The Dance of the Vans people Is like the dance of a swan Girls dancing & circling around A fire like feathers They seem to fall in it But the fire is friendly to them It doesn't want to swallow them It plays with them Like father with his daughters Fellows singing, girls laughing Logs cracking merged The sound of thunder was Heard from the Heathen The Ancient Gods threw the lightning To show their joy Of the man children
