Before the Fimbulwinter (Áðr Fimbulvetr) | Viking Music

Born beneath a fading sun and a sky that no longer promises spring, "Before the Fimbulwinter" tells of the first signs of the great winter before Ragnarök. The rivers fall silent beneath the ice, the fields stop bearing grain, fires burn lower in the halls, and the nights grow longer. One winter becomes another, and still no summer comes. Hunger spreads, brothers turn against brothers, and the old world begins to feel its end approaching. A dark, powerful and melodic Old Norse Viking song led by female vocals, with deep male voices appearing only in moments of warning and weight. "Before the Fimbulwinter" is a song about the three winters without summer, the fading of light and the silence before the old world falls.

English Translation The sun rises pale above the snow, a cold wind moves through the valleys. The rivers fall silent beneath the ice, no green earth can be seen. Long nights, little daylight, the fire dies in every hall. The people look toward the sky, no one knows what is coming. **Frost in the earth, frost in the bones. No sun comes home.** **Before the Fimbulwinter comes, before the world falls, three winters, no summer, cold over everything.** **Before the Fimbulwinter comes, before the final day, the earth sleeps beneath the snow, and the night grows so long.** No field bears grain anymore, no stream runs toward the sea. The children wait beside the fire, but the flames burn lower and lower. Brother looks coldly upon brother, a friend no longer knows a friend. Hunger walks from house to house, and the frost enters with the darkness. **Frost in the earth, frost in the bones. No sun comes home.** **Before the Fimbulwinter comes, before the world falls, three winters, no summer, cold over everything.** **Before the Fimbulwinter comes, before the final day, the earth sleeps beneath the snow, and the night grows so long.** The first winter took our grain, the second took our light. The third comes with heavy snow and closes every road. The wind calls across the mountains, the sea lies cold and black. No flowers of spring rise now, no warmth returns. **Hear the wind. Hear the earth. Hear the ice breaking.** The night grows longer, the sun grows pale, the old world shall fall. **Three winters. No sun. Three winters. No spring.** **Before the Fimbulwinter comes, before the world falls, three winters, no summer, cold over everything.** **Before the Fimbulwinter comes, before the final day, the earth sleeps beneath the snow, and the night grows so long.** Before the Fimbulwinter. Before the Fimbulwinter. No summer comes home. The sun does not rise. Spring does not come. Only winter. Only winter. --- Follow Skavira on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer and YouTube Music.
