Opnaðu steinana
Nýttu þér jurtirnar
Hleyptu út dýrinu
Ljósið fyrir ljósið
Allt hennar flæði, kelar líkamann,
augnabliksins, birtingu opnar.
Sýnir mér sigur, lengingu tímans,
allt tilheyrir öllu, sameining.
Eldsins neistar, allt mig hreinsa,
létt er lífið, svífandi laust.
Snerting úr stað, öðrum frá heimi,
öðlast ég friðsæld, óháð ég er.
Í augnablikinu, óhindruð horfi,
annað er tíminn, þegar ég er.
Skilning hún opnar, í vídd bilsins,
dvel ég þar, milli afla.
Eldsins neistar, allt mig hreinsa,
létt er lífið, svífandi laust.
Snerting úr stað, öðrum frá heimi,
öðlast ég friðsæld, óháð ég er.
Ferðast ég óhindrað, inn í bili,
alls er mætist, heimunum í.
Bænin frá hjarta, sannleikur orða,
það hið óþekta, virði alls er.
Eldsins neistar, allt mig hreinsa,
létt er lífið, svífandi laust.
Snerting úr stað, öðrum frá heimi,
öðlast ég friðsæld, óháð ég er.
English translations:
Bil
Open the stones
Use the herbs
Free the animal
Light for light
All her flow, caresess the body,
the moment, of dawn reveals.
Shows me victory, prolonging of time,
All belonging to All, Mergence.
Fire´s flames, cleanse my all,
light is life, soaring freely.
Touched from a place, a different dimension,
peacefulness have obtained, unattached am I.
In the moment, unobstructed I watch,
something else is time, when I am.
Knowledge she opens, in the scope of nothing,
there I dwell, between forces.
Fire´s flames, cleanse my all,
light is life, soaring freely.
Touched from a place, a different dimension,
peacefulness have obtained, unattached am I.
I travel freely, inside the void,
of all that unites, as one.
Hearts prayer, the truth of words,
It the unknown, worth all that is.
Fire´s flames, cleanse my all,
light is life, soaring freely.
Touched from a place, a different dimension,
peacefulness have obtained, unattached am I.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit
i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo

Very calm, soothing, yet strong and evocative melodies. Great introduction into the world of Forndom and a true, even if a bit short, escape from the world of men. Anders Kvistr
