about

Soundtrack of a non-existent movie about the Battle of Hafrsfjord (872). Remix of HEATHER WASTELAND’s song “Tre Sverd”, which is more like the song’s cover version.

New reading of the 20-year-old instrumental, which turned into the song.

International collaboration featuring Cruinh (RIMMERSGARD, Germany) - vocal, Mortiis (ex-VOND, ex-EMPEROR, Norway) – monologue from “Heimskringla”, Chur (ЧУР, Ukraine) – battle intro/interlude, Elanor (Russia) – harp, and LIHOLESIE - strings & winds, jaw harp, remix electronic wizardry.

The single cover is a kind of the "remixed" fragment of Nickholas Mortem's artwork used for HEATHER WASTELAND’s maxi-single “Tre Sverd” (2019).

PS: According to Snorri Sturluson's “Saga of Harald Fairhair” from “Heimskringla”, the werewolf warriors participated in this battle and it remained in the memory of the Vikings as the most violent and significant sea battle.

lyrics

Tre Sverd (lyrics by Sergey AR Pavlov, excluding the spoken words from "Heimskringla" by Snorri Sturluson)

I

Crimson waves splash out the boards,
Shields are licked by tongues of swords,
Blind fury leafs a blood-soaked page
Of another flame-coloured age!

II

Thirst for glory is the history's lips
Brushing the foes with a deadly kiss.
Never wait for a dead man’s shoes,
Face your fate, nothing to lose!

Chorus:

Behold the ghostly dragons’ horde
Under the misty veil by the Hafrsfjord –
Blood will splash out the boards
Under the sign of three swords!

III

On the shores of the storming rage
There's no place for chains and cage,
Drink red mead of your endless fights
On the path the sea dragon rides!

"Skip kom austantil,
stundande paa ufred,
med gapande hovud
og gravne platur.

Med stridsmenn var dei
Ladde og skjoldar blanke,
med vesterlands-spjot
og valske sverd.
Berserkar bura,
paa bragdir tenkte,
ulvhednar ula,
jarnvaapn glumde" - (Spoken words from "Heimskringla")
