Sneppan

The Darkness of Death

Sneppan

The sun sets tonightSólin setir seg í kvøld
Over town and landYvir bygd og land
The pot has cooled, the bridge is coldGrýtan kólnað, bríkin køld
The ravens settle on the sandRavnarnir setast á sand

In death's dark, shadowy valleyÍ deyðans døkka dimma dali
The light of life is goneLjós lívsins er sløkt
Life played its game and lostLív í leiki dystin tapti
The black death has grownSvarta deyðans økt

The deserted town by the seaOyðin bygd við havið lá
Silence fills the doorwayKvirt er innan húsagátt
Empty, shimmering stillness is the bayManntóm blikandi still er vág
The deadly plague is a sorrowful taleDøpur er tann drepandi sótt
One life still lingers hereEittans lív her anir enn
In the garden's small patchÍ smáttu innan garð
The witch weaves a thread at onceNornan hon kvettir ein tráð í senn
An end this one will also meetEin enda hesin eisini fær

In death's dark, shadowy valleyÍ deyðans døkka dimma dali
The light of life is goneLjós lívsins er sløkt
Life played its game and lostLív í leiki dystin tapti
The black death has grownSvarta deyðans økt

I will keep my vigil of sorrowSita skal eg sorgarvakt
Over the crowd and kinYvir fjøld og ætt
When my last word is spokenTá mítt síðsta orð er sagt
Death, you step in so easilyDeyðin stíg tú innar lætt

In death's dark, shadowy valleyÍ deyðans døkka dimma dali
The light of life is goneLjós lívsins er sløkt
Life played its game and lostLív í leiki dystin tapti
The black death has grownSvarta deyðans økt
