The silent night

The silent night is all that was before,
I had a fare but don't remember where,
fled, gone, what is said and seen,
the truth hurts if a lie follows along.
Raises a sword and a shield.
 
The poetic night is all that was before.
Had a treasure box but don't remember where.
Beaten with logs, demands prayers and requests.
Broken promises make a faint sound.
Both the hot and the cold ones.
 
The good night is all that was before.
Had gold but don't remember where.
Where is the faith that goes on its feet.
Father of the world, will you help me?
Faith will gain power.
 
The silent night is all that was before.
Had treasures but not there.
Fled, gone, what is said and seen.
Some of it was good, but other things came with it.
Raises a sword and a shield
Some of it was good, but other things came with it.
Raises a sword and a shield

Offtopic: I was just wondering - is there a version of "Holy night" in Icelandic?

There sure is. It's called 'Heims um ból'. Should be easy to find :)
