Þrjár Rætur. Lyrics by Ellen Truyts.

Описание: A ritual song rooted in the ancient north.
Three forces — Angrboda, Hel, and Odin — bound through darkness, fate, and transformation.
This piece was born from within — where pain, endurance, and something older than words meet.
It is not meant to be understood… but felt.

Lyrics Old Norse:

Angrboða, móðir myrks
í járnviði seiðr hún kveðr
blóð ok rót, bein ok eld
úr djúpi fæðir örlög mín
Ek kalla þik í skugga mínum
haltu mér þegar ek fell
villt er hjarta, villt er sál
þú ert jörð undir mér

Hel, drottning náttar
hljóð ok ró
hálf ljós, hálf myrkr
tekr við því sem brotnar hljótt
enginn dómr, engin þörf
Ek legg niður þunga mína
í köldu, mjúku fangi
þar sem endir verðr upphaf
þar sem sár fá hvíld

Óðinn, gangandi milli heima
hengdi sik sjálfr í tré
rúnir kalla í blóði mínu
viska kostar sár ok tíma
Sýndu mér eitt spor í myrkri
Ek þarf ei sjá allt í senn
gefið mér orð eða þögn
leið mér áfram

Þrjár rætur halda mér
í myrkri, í blóði, í sál
Angrboða, Hel og Óðinn
ek stend, ek fell, ek rís
Ek er ei ein í nótt
þau vaka og bera mik
í djúpi finn ek líf
í myrkri brennr minn kjarni

Þrjár rætur halda mér
í myrkri, í blóði, í sál
Angrboða, Hel og Óðinn
ek stend, ek fell, ek rís
Ek er ei ein í nótt
þau vaka og bera mik
í djúpi finn ek líf
í myrkri brennr minn kjarni


Engelse vertaling:

Angrboda, mother of darkness
in the iron woods she chants
blood and root, bone and fire
from the deep she shapes my fate
I call to you within my shadow
hold me when I fall
wild is my heart, wild is my soul
you are the ground beneath me

Hel, queen of night
of silence and stillness
half light, half dark
you take what breaks in silence
no judgment, no need
I lay down my burdens
in your cold, gentle embrace
where endings become beginnings
where wounds find rest

Odin, walking between worlds
he gave himself to the tree
runes call through my blood
wisdom asks for pain and time
show me one step in the dark
I do not need to see it all
give me a word or silence
lead me onward

Three roots hold me
in darkness, in blood, in soul
Angrboda, Hel and Odin
I stand, I fall, I rise
I am not alone in this night
they watch and carry me
in the deep I find life
in darkness my core still burns
