Angantyr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et skib skulle kaentre, en kriger kom fra havet
I landet hersker ufred blandt maend
Glemt har de fordums pragt
Til korset er mange vendt
Men skjult er folk af skoven
Der ej har glemt den gamle saed
Tager du ved fuldmane de glemte stier
Med stolthed i hjerted og fortid i hu
Lytter du til skovens stemme
Med abent sind
Vil du finde vejen gennem tagernes land
Folket i det glemte torster efter haevn
De vil lede dig pa vej
Men lad dit navn vaere ukendt
Til den nat du betraeder tagernes dal
Da skal din slaegt fa oprejsning
Og det gamle folks haevntorst vil slukkes
The lyrics to Angantyr's song Thulens ord tell the story of a dream that the singer had a long time ago where he saw a future where a ship was wrecked and a warrior emerged from the sea. The land is in a state of unrest among men who have forgotten their former glory. Many have turned to the cross, but there are still those in the forest who remember the old ways. The song encourages the listener to take the forgotten paths under the full moon with pride in their heart and knowledge of their past. By listening to the voice of the forest with an open mind, they will find their way through the land of towers. There they will find the people of the forgotten who seek revenge and who will guide them on their way.
The song's lyrics encourage listeners to remember the traditions of their ancestors and to embrace a connection with nature. There are references to ancient knowledge that was once lost but is still guarded by those who remain faithful to the old ways. The song also suggests that seeking revenge must be done with caution and patience until the right moment is reached.
