Chapter I : Lost in a Forest of Trolls
They awaited the girl/maid’s return [home]
[But] she was lost in the dark forest
The snow had fallen like a blanket as far as the eye could see
On the road home
Her only freind..
If she only could
Follow the road of the stars
But she was lost
Among the dark trees
The Forest's dark arms embraced it self over the unknown guest
Reminded her of her biggest fright
That the mountain king thrists for christian blood
Those underneath/underground:
"Somone closes silently
A sorrowfull girl
She is sitting there with folded hands
She is sending a prayer to the heavenly realm"
Over her head
It’s dripping from a branch
Drop, by drop like the blood
[Of the body] from Jesus christ
The girl:
“Aa, alone in a scary forest
I feel that tonight
Tonight no one thinks of me”
Chapter II : The Sun goes down Behind the Hills
Slowly she turns her head half ways
Listening, for words spoken from distance
A place under the ground, the heart's woe
The girl:
“The sun goes down behind the hill
The shadows grow longer
Night will soon return
Capturing me”
She sheds a tear at her missing
A longing home with her own
She wanted to embrace them so
Sorrow rooted in unspeakable pain
She cries
She fades
She looks not at the night’s path
She falls to sleep on a bed of moss
And everything becomes quit
And then darkness falls
On her dream's path
Chapter III : She Noticed she was being Watched
From far away she’s being watched
Eyes, many eyes of gray watches her
While the moon slowly glides
The girl:
“I sense cold eyes
Whatever I do – I must be quick
Before sorcery takes me with force”
Eyes still behold her
Looking curiously from afar
Norwegian night ices
When the sound of howling wolves beckons
Thunder rolls
(Her anxiety blazes)
The world is snow
- Quiet
Alone she breathes
Heart beats
Her blood turns to ice
Those underground:
“The source of sorrow rests
On the thorn dressed trees
She is as beautiful as a virtue
Hendes Drøm Solspell indvier*
On those white cheeks
On that mouth that no longer smiles
Tears flows in rivers
When the world sleeps
*untranslatable
Chapter IV : A Voice is Calling
She wakes on shadowed trails
In the forest’s deep green chambers
Then a voice whispers anew
Behind leafhidden trees
The voice:
“Come, if you want! Come into the dark!
Mine black eyes shall find you!
My soft hair will tie you!”
(Said sucking, enchanting words)
The girl:
“O sweet voice, why do thee wake
My seceret sorrow now
In this silent mound?”
The voice:
“Girl, what do you expected to find here?
Follow me down this hill...
Where else can you find the memory
Of happineness, of home?"
The girl:
“I don’t understand – I feel so weird...
...tell me, do I have to? Do I have to?”
Chapter V : Into the Chambers of the Mountain
The girl prayed for her [life]
It must not happen to her
And with that a new girl they took
Treated her as they wanted too
And not as they should
There, the house of shadows she saw...
..Soo cold and eternal blue
The mountain took her in
Too it’s hard gray cheek
Again the black night regined
And now she is gone...
She screams with her last breath
An epic we will never forget
- A body turned to stone
...the moon is gone
Also the stars have gone out
Ooh! It rains and blows [hard]
Far into the north, in the mountain
Under the ground
There they play...
