Lyrics Available
 

Black Winter Day

This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed think
Like daybreak in spring
The sun on a spring morning

But how do I feel
In my gloomy depths?

Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like a dark night in autumn
A black winter day
No, darker than that
Gloomier than an autumn night


 

Moon And Sun

Where has the sun gone from us Where is the moon lost to us The moon will not gleam at all Nor will the sun shine at all Death opens its mouth The son of the Northlander Camo to look, to listen "There beyond the river is hero walking" He took one step and took another To the north's shore he hurried He drew his sword, wrenched the iron Snatched from the sheath the harsh one Upon whose point the moon shone Upon whose hilt the sun flashed Upon whose back a horse stands He uttered a word, spoke thus, "There the sun has gone from you The sun gone and the moon lost"


 

Moon And Sun Part II: North's Son

Go, look at the moon And inspect the sun! Now they are in the sky Right in their old places Hail, moon, for gleaming Fair one for showing your face Dear sun for dawning And daylight for coming up! Dear moon, you're out from the rock Fair day from the cliff You've risen as a golden cuckoo As a silver dove Up to where you used to live Fare well now upon Your way, upon your journey Sweetly end your curve beautifully Come at evening into joy!
