I höstens brinnande färger
Nordöst marscherar en frankisk här
Bärandes en flamma av guld
Ska de rasera vårt hem och vår tro
Hans svärd och hans spira ska bringa svaret på
Hans dröm om att bli konungars konung
Irminsûl, nu sjunger vi kvädet
Blodstänkt jord, kring det heliga trädet
Världars mord, de fällde vår frihet
Bränt vår tro, men tar aldrig vår stolthet
Trädens kronor brinner och
Westfalen har fallit i lågor
Men från döden skall en
Vit hingst resa sig igen
Hans svärd och hans spira ska bringa svaret på
Hans dröm om att bli konungars konung
Irminsûl, nu sjunger vi kvädet
Blodstänkt jord, kring det heliga trädet
Världars mord, de fällde vår frihet
Bränt vår tro, men tar aldrig vår stolthet
Hemsökt flammar himlen, borta med vinden, förbi är vår tid
Gamla gudars skymning, en flod utan mynning, men ej slut på vår strid
Sjung nu sorgens sånger, fyllda med ånger, vi gräms det ikväll
Fäll då tyngdens tårar, av gångna vårar, sen begrav dem med eld
English:
In the burning colors of autumn
Northeast marches the Frankish force
Flying the flame of gold
They will destroy our home and faith
His sword and his spire will
Answer his prayers to become
King of kings
Irminsûl! we sing the song of
Bloodsoaked earth, around the holy tree
Murder of worlds, they felled our freedom
Burned our faith, but they will never take our pride
The treetops are aflame
Westfalen is burning
But a white steed
shall rise from the dead
His sword and his spire will
Answer his prayers to become
King of kings
Irminsûl! we sing the song of
Bloodsoaked earth, around the holy tree
Murder of worlds, they felled our freedom
Burned our faith, but they will never take our pride
Afflicted, the sky is like embers
Gone with the wind, our time has passed
Twilight of old gods
A river without end, but not without fight
Sing now songs of sorrow,
Filled with regret, we will grieve tonight
Then cry tears of heaviness
Remember the springs of past
And bury your sorrow with fire

I picked this one up as preparation for the Ragnarök Festival. VANAHEIM play lively, epic folk metal which appears very cheerful. Sometimes they remind me of Moonsorrow, Ensiferum, Equilibrium or Finsterforst. The songs are packed with fresh ideas, pathos and creativity, sometimes even too much for my taste. But live they performed a crowd-moving set and left the stage as a big winner and with many new supporters. Check the mighty opener "Unit Steen Geslagen". H.L.
Melodic, Scandinavian-style melodeath, and done so goddamn well. This is exactly how this music should sound and feel, stellar start to finish. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
Alestorm return with another batch of rollicking pirate metal. Swinging, sawing keys, “yo-ho-ho” sing-along choruses, and riffs for days. Bandcamp New & Notable May 29, 2017
