‘Skugge‘ bedeutet so viel wie „Schatten“, entsprechend ist der atmosphärisch dichte , altertümlich und spirituell aufgeladene Song ausgefallen. Vielleicht verkürzt er ja die Wartezeit auf die Livescheibe der Norweger „First Flight of the White Raven“.

‚Skugge‘ Original-Lyrics:

 

Eismal sat eg ute

Ved fot av fjell

Ved dagsvinn vitja meg

Skugge heitir

Eg stirde rakt

Skugge, rakt attende

I mitt innerste indre

I mitt ytterste ytre

Båe held blikket

 

Med skriande tagnad

eg spurde vegen

Men skugge tagde

Med skriande tagnad

eg spurde meiningi

Men Skugge tagde

Alt ljos rann

Skugge inn

i bjarget svann

 

Med hamrande hjarte

gol eg mot hjell

Med dvergtungetale

mol Skugge or fjell

Elden tvingar deg or meg

Sporlaus inn i notti fér

Enn du vakar djupt i meg

Vilt du dansar, tveim blir ein

 

Skugge, kan du svara? – Svara

Som heile sanning eig! – Eig

Når eg fyl, kvi hastar du? – Du

Finn eg deg, eg finn meg sjølv – Sjølv

 

Svara eig du sjølv

 

 

English Lyrics:

 

Alone, I sat outside

At the foot of the mountain

As the daylight was fading, a visitor came

Shadow was the name

I stared straight towards

Shadow straight in return

In my innermost inside

At my outermost outside

We both held the gaze

 

With howling silence

I asked the way

Shadow gave no answer

With howling silence

I asked the way

Shadow gave no answer

 

As the sunlight leaves

Shadow slips away

Into the stonewall

 

As my heart was hammering

I croaked at the rock

With a dwarven tongue (echoes)

Shadow replied

 

The fire force you from within

without a trace, slips into darkness

Still you slumber deep inside

wildly dancing, two becomes one

 

Shadow, give me answers

The truth is known to you

I feel your haste when I try to find

In searching you I find within
