I den øftes sal
Lutar alt der under
For den skinande guden
The lyrics of Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik's song WulthuR are rich with Norse mythology and symbolism, expressing a deep reverence for the ancient gods and their power. In these particular lines, the singer is making a solemn oath or vow, swearing on their eiderdown bedding (which was traditional in Norse culture) in the presence of the ancestral gods.
The phrase "den øftes sal" is likely a reference to Valhalla, the mythic hall of the slain where the bravest warriors go after death, and the singer is humbling themselves before the god or gods who preside over that realm. The act of bowing or kneeling beneath the altar of this deity suggests a willingness to submit to their authority and receive their blessings.
Overall, these lyrics convey a profound sense of devotion and reverence towards the ancient gods, as well as the singer's desire to honor them with their words and actions. Through the use of vivid imagery and ancient symbolism, Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik evoke the power and majesty of Norse mythology, offering listeners a glimpse into a rich and complex cultural tradition.
