Learned we in former-days,
Of glory-blessed heroes,
The thegns of the Lord,
Their force did not fail,
In the war,
When banners clashed together.
Illustrious men upon the earth,
Bold folk-leaders on fields of reckoning,
Doughty Warriors, Battle-Brave!
When shield and hand defended their crown.
When all man´s land was found in murder,
The enemy´s deceit was rife in the kingdom.
On the dwelling-place of mighty men,
Homeland of heroes. They of true spirit!
Neither bread nor water for men,
Consumed they, blood and skin throughout the nation,
The flesh-homes of foreign-coming men,
Such was the peace-less token
The violence of the wretched,
That the enemy, sword-grim and sad-minded,
Destroyed the sight of the eyes,
with the point of spears.
Then they strove against incursion,
Swiftly under shield,
Bristling with spears,
Enraged ash-bearers,
Towards the fight´s flame!
One and all, together, for home!

(The black metal-band Winterfylleth are english, but they really sound that norwegian it´s hard to believe, that they´re NOT from Norway! "The mercian sphere"-album, which came out in the year of 2010, is the Manchester based-band´s second full-length, and is a great black metal-album with some folk influences. A word which really describes the music is....FRESH! Actually "The mercian sphere" sounds more fresh to me than most of the black metal, I´ve been listening to for the last couple of years....Big words, yes, but in fact true :-)
We´re in the beginning of 2012, and may 2012 be the year, where we´ll get a third release from these talented guys!
....and "The fields of reckoning"? Well, it´s absolutely my favorite song from this brilliant album :-)
Kind regards
Carsten
