lyrics
Tre Sverd (lyrics by Sergey AR Pavlov, excluding the spoken words from "Heimskringla" by Snorri Sturluson)
I
Crimson waves splash out the boards,
Shields are licked by tongues of swords,
Blind fury leafs a blood-soaked page
Of another flame-coloured age!
II
Thirst for glory is the history's lips
Brushing the foes with a deadly kiss.
Never wait for a dead man’s shoes,
Face your fate, nothing to lose!
Chorus
Behold the ghostly dragons’ horde
Under the misty veil by the Hafrsfjord –
Blood will splash out the boards
Under the sign of three swords!
III
On the shores of the storming rage
There's no place for chains and cage,
Drink red mead of your endless fights
On the path the sea dragon rides!
"Skip kom austantil,
stundande paa ufred,
med gapande hovud
og gravne platur.
Med stridsmenn var dei
Ladde og skjoldar blanke,
med vesterlands-spjot
og valske sverd.
Berserkar bura,
paa bragdir tenkte,
ulvhednar ula,
jarnvaapn glumde" - (Spoken words from "Heimskringla")
Chorus:
Behold the ghostly dragons’ horde
Under the misty veil by the Hafrsfjord –
Blood will splash out the boards
Under the sign of three swords!

Founded in spring 2001. A distinctive feature was the presence of 2 bassists & a drummer, & an intended refuse to use
guitars.
H.W. existed 'til spring 2002.
In October 2014, the band was reunited with the original line-up & the 3rd bassist.
Music is marked by the uncommon approach to folk metal & interest in obscure/forbidden/esoteric topics of pre-xtian & medieval periods of European history....more
