Flykt
Escape
I remember bygone days,
when life was all that existed.
No woeful battles,
only the dance of the Elven King.
Nothing can now heal,
the agonised death of my kinsmen.
Nothing can prevent
the norns'1 runes and my scream in emergency.
All is burning.
All is vanishing.
My kingdom that once was.
One way, one escape.
For here, nothing remains.
This black illness,
this hate-filled pest,
can not be healed by sorcery.
Is my turn next?
So now I may wander,
yes - now I may flee.
But I shall return,
one day shall again dawn.
All is burning.
All is vanishing.
My kingdom that once was.
One way, one escape.
For here, nothing remains.
- 1. The goddesses of fate in Norse mythology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norns
