Galgaldr lyrics
Bræðr munu berjask ok at bönum verðask,
munu systrungar sifjum spitla;
hart er í heimi, hórdómr mikitl
skeggöld, skalmöld, skildir ro klofnir,
vindöld, vargöld, áðr veröld steypisk;
mun engi maðr öðrum þyrma.
Svört verða sölskin um sumur eftir
Skeggöld, skalmöld, vindöld, vargöld
Svört verða sölskin um sumur eftir
Gal anda viðr,
gangla viðr,
riðanda viðr,
viðr rinnanda,
viðr sitjanda,
viðr signianda,
viðr faranda,
viðr fluganda,
skal alta fyrna ok um döya
Sér hon upp koma öðru sinni
jörð ór ægi iðjagræna
fatla forsar flýgr örn yfir
gá er i á fjatli fiska veiðir
um aldrdaga ynðis njóta
- skeggöld, skalmöld, skildir ro klofnir,:
Ages of Wars
