about

Skäggets Allians is about Vikings and Muslims in the 10th century meeting and becoming friends, bonding over their taste in facial hair.

lyrics

Från söderns muspelhetta
Till nordens nifelrike
Ur samma skål de tvättar, slåss som bestar
Kan inte skriva, men de kan rida
Ooh, det är så kallt
Kylan är outhärdlig
Männen av Norden, den frusna jorden
Demoner i rösten, behåring på brösten

Brodersband flätat i mjöd och keratin
Allah och Oden skakar hand
En pakt mot klockor och hymner på latin
En skäggets allians

Besatta av papper och penna
Svärd som månens skära
Bor där solen kan bränna
Ber hela dagen i Allahs ära

Brodersband flätat i mjöd och keratin
Allah och Oden skakar hand
En pakt mot klockor och hymner på latin
En skäggets allians
En vänskap som silver ej kan köpa
Araber och nordbor tar i famn
Ett krig mot kristna och att döpas
När handeln går i hamn


Translation:

From the Múspel-heat of the south
To the northern Nifel-realm
They wash with the same bowl, fight like beasts
They can’t write, but they can ride
It’s so cold here
It is unbearable
Men of the north, the frozen earth
Voices like that of demons, hairy chests

A bond made from mead and keratin
Allah and Odin shake hands
A pact against bells and hymns in latin
An alliance of the beard

Obsessed with pen and paper
Swords like the crescent moon
Lives where the sun burns
Prays all day to Allah

A bond made from mead and keratin
Allah and Odin shakes hand
A pact against bells and hymns in latin
An alliance of the beard

A friendship that silver can’t buy
Arabs and norsemen embrace
A war against Christians and baptisms
When trade is golden
