Runenstein
Thrudvangar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zeichen einer alten Schrift
Nur die Weisen können deuten die Worte
Die er verbirgt
Geschrieben vor tausend Jahren auf
Kaltem grauen Stein
Erzählt die Sagen unserer Väter, vom Leben
Runenstein, Erinnerung runenstein, Ermahnung
Schriften aus den alten Tagen
Rufen in die Zeit die Stimmen unserer Ahnen
Auf ihm sind geschrieben die
Geschichten der Krieger
Helden der alten rauen Zeit
Ihre ruhmreichen Taten
Von den Kämpfen ihres Lebens bis
Hin zum heldenhaften Tod
Broedr váru their beztra manna á
Landi ok lidi uti heldu sina huskarla vel
Hanna fell i orrostu austr i
Górdum lids foryngi landmanna beztra
Runenstein, Erinnerung runenstein, Ermahnung
Schriften aus den alten Tagen
Rufen in die Zeit die Stimmen unserer Ahnen
These lyrics are from the song "Runenstein" by Thrudvangar. The song speaks about the significance and power of an ancient runestone, highlighting its ability to capture and transmit the wisdom and stories of a long-forgotten past.
The first verse describes the runestone as being carved with the symbols of an ancient script. Only the wise are capable of interpreting the words concealed within it. The runestone is said to have been written a thousand years ago on cold, gray stone and holds the tales of our ancestors, recounting their lives, happiness, and sorrows.
The chorus emphasizes the runestone's role as a reminder and a teaching, an artifact from the ancient days that calls forth the voices of their forefathers into the present time. It serves as a vessel carrying the stories of warrior heroes from a harsh and distant time. These stories recount their glorious deeds, from the battles fought during their lives to their courageous deaths.
The final lines in a different language, possibly Old Norse, reinforce the importance of the runestone. They speak of how the best men on the land and beyond fought bravely alongside their knights, and how, in a battle somewhere in the east, the best warriors perished, but their sacrifice enriched the land.
Overall, the lyrics of "Runenstein" by Thrudvangar celebrate the power and importance of an ancient runestone in preserving and transmitting the tales and wisdom of our ancestors, reminding us of the valor and difficulties they faced in their lives. It serves as a connection to our heritage and the historical struggles that have shaped our existence.
