Amon Amarth - The Fate Of Norns Lyrics






I feel a chill in my heart
Like lingering winter cold
I and my son are torn apart
He was just 6 winters old

My first-born was he
And the last of my kin
The last one to carry my name
Death smiled at him its deadly grin
There is no one for me to blame

The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through hel's gate

I carry him to my ship
He seems to be asleep
But the deep blue colour of his lips
Is enough to make me weep

No man should have to bury his child
Yet this has been my share
The tears i shed run bitter and wild
It's a heavy burden to bear

His body feels so light in my arms
His skin is pale as snow
Yet his weight feels heavy in my heart
As my sadness continues to grow

Allfather!
What fate has been given me?
Why must I suffer?
Why must I feel this pain?
Allfather!
LIfe has lost it's meaning to me
I think I'm going insane!

I lay him down on a pyre
A burial worthy a king
And as I lie down by his side
I hear the weaving norns sing

The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through hel's gate

The fate of Norns await us all
I know this to be true
It's time to answer Odens's call
My son, he calls for me and you

    El Destino De Las Normas

    Siento un frío en mi corazón
    Como un persistente frío invernal
    MI hijo y yo somos separados
    Sólo tenía 6 inviernos de edad

    Mi primogénito fue él
    Y el último de mis parientes
    El último en llevar mi nombre
    La muerte le sonrió su mortal sonrisa
    No hay nadie a quien culpar

    El destino de las Normas nos espera a todos
    No hay forma de escapar
    El día para responder al llamado de Odín
    O caminar a través de la puerta del infierno

    Le llevo a mi nave
    Parece estar dormido
    Pero el profundo color azul de sus labios
    Es suficiente para hacerme llorar
    Nadie debería tener que enterrar a su hijo
    Sin embargo, esta ha sido mi parte
    Las lágrimas que derramo corren salvaje y amargamente
    Es una pesada carga a soportar

    Su cuerpo se siente tan ligero en mis brazos
    Su piel es pálida como la nieve
    Sin embargo, su peso se siente pesado en mi corazón
    Como mi tristeza sigue creciendo

    Creador!
    ¿Qué destino se me ha dado?
    ¿Por qué debo sufrir?
    ¿Por qué debo sentir este dolor?
    Creador!
    La vida ha perdido su significado para mí
    Creo que me vuelvo loco!

    Le coloco sobre una pira
    Un entierro digno de un rey
    Y al recostarme a su lado
    Oigo el cantar de las nornas al tejer

    El destino de las Normas nos espera a todos
    No hay forma de escapar
    El día para responder al llamado de Odín
    O caminar a través de la puerta de
    El destino de las Normas nos espera a todos
    Sé que esto es cierto
    Es hora de responder al llamado de Odín
    Mi hijo, él llama por mí y por ti

  20. N.... W....

    The rage being shown by the father in the middle of this song is amazing!

  21. D.... R....

    They are incredible \,,\

  22. m.... ....

    they should sing in their native language, that'd be the vikings we want

    m.... ....

    if we want that, we listen to raubtier instead of amon amarth though raubtier doesnt sing about vikings and norse mythology

    m.... ....

    Käften din rakade. Dom sjunger på vilket språk dom vill. Eller vill du ta reda på hur lång nornorna har vävt din livstråd

    m.... ....

    You do realize the the vikings were explorers too. And settled beyond many have thought. They went east west south. A little bit everywhere. And continued to beyobd the viking age. You must remember that not all people from Scandanavia were considered Vikings. Hence called the Viking age. And some that emigrated have ancestors that are a little bit mixed. Like in the northern midwestern states in North America and others. I know a lot of Europeans of twentieth and twenty-first century bitch about it. But in North America it isn't the same as in Europe with ancestry. Being not originally from this side of the ocean, its hard to say American and not be anything in that than country. It's complicated ancestry wise. Some cities neighborhoods are still based on ancestry in Europe. Not common as before. But true. And few who speak american English are actually English at all. Too much said there. But get the point I hope.

  23. U.... G....

    depressed suicidal viking melodic death metal

    U.... G....

    U.... G....

    The objectively best metal

  24. J.... H....

    This song is so sad, but it is what makes it so good. When I hear this song, I think of things such as the futility of life and my powerlessness to do anything in the world.

  25. J.... G....

  36. A.... R....

    That's a badass song!!!

  37. r.... m....

    my favorite version of this song

  38. K.... O....

    Freaking amazing live performance right there.

  39. d.... L....

    chakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllll.............

  40. M.... ....

    do they have two guitarists normally?

    M.... ....

    MegaGuthix123 All metal bands have to guitar, yes.

  41. G.... W....

    this is me for real my god is oden I am germanian and Celt (irish) I live my life this way

    G.... W....

    no point we are all brothers of oden norse celts germanians scotts

     

    G.... W....

    +George Wiltfong yeah I really didn't have a point. I also take pride in my Celtic heritage as one with scottish blood.

    G.... W....

    @Cody Roberson thought you were correcting him or something ;)

    G.... W....

    +George Wiltfong I am Germanic and Celt as well brother, Hail Oden.

    G.... W....

    I'm Irish, and if you worship the gods, you're an idiot. You just like to romanticize Saxons and the Norse who killed each other and the Celts. You look up to a people who probably didn't even wash their dicks and believed the universe was held up by the roots of a tree. No better than Hindus who believe the universe rests on a tortoise's back. I get taking pride in heritage because of the obvious demonizing going on in society of anything to do with white ancestry, but to bring back a bunch of loopy religions in order to separate yourself from everyone else is just stupid. Take pride in what they accomplished as a society, not in fucked up religion and customs.

  42. L.... B....

    Fate of norns

  43. J.... T....

    ahhh fucking gorgeous

  44. J.... P....

  50. H.... ....

    This music is shit!

    H.... ....

    @Klocksby Noted, now get the fuck out of here

    H.... ....

    +Klocksby you are a big shithead

    H.... ....

    +Klocksby Obvious troll is obvious.

  51. T.... ....

    best song ever...

  52. A.... A....

    one of the few metal songs that i lived with, everything perfect and to my taste,
    lyrics awesome,
    for sure in my top 3 metal songs i love the most,
    gives me one of the very best feelings in my life: sadness along with the power and toughness and the will to continue...

  53. M.... L....

    "He was just 6 winters old"
    ;_;

    M.... L....

    @Noel Andrews fixed it

    M.... L....

    Lol was all good man we knew what you meant lol

    M.... L....

    +Mister Lucifer ??

    M.... L....

    And it's not the worst part of it..
    He was his last/only son ..
    Not ONLY did the norns cut his life string short, but they also took away the only son (heir)

    M.... L....

    SortenRavn This song was kinda sad, but then I realized what’s really happening. The father throws himself on the pyre at the end because he has nothing left to live for. He hopes Odin will have mercy on him and let him join his son in Valhalla, instead of condemning him to Hell for the cowardice of suicide. Sad level cranked to 11.

  54. I.... P....

    Very deep song that promotes pure father's love. So opposite from shallow and stupid mainstream pop "music" (and other) that bombards us every day with it's stupidity and ever selling sex. Love you Amon Amarth!!! Skoll to all of you vikings! See you in Valhalla to dine and fight until Ragnarok! \m/

    I.... P....

    Resting in Asgard is pretty legendary by itself, one can even meet Gaut/Odin in one of his journeys and discuss politics or philosophy with him, while drinking a great horn of mead next to a fire.

    I.... P....

    +Noel Andrews With the world the way it is today it is only a matter of time before all Hell breaks loose.

    I.... P....

    Can't I just share love of metal in the comments without people crying about how pop is so much worse and meaningless than metal? Also, Vikings were all about sex. When someone important died and got a big funeral, a girl loyal to him would get drunk, have sex with a bunch of dudes and then get killed in the pyre.

    I.... P....

    Telling a tale of your dead son, while also being Viking as fuck about it. That's not something anyone could do

    I.... P....

    Oh? Look up the funerary account written by Ahmad ibn Fadlan in the 10th century. It describes in great detail the funeral of a high ranking Scandinavian Chieftan.

  55. A.... B....

    true blood

  56. T.... ....

    love listening to this song when it's cold and windy

  57. T.... ....

    I read some comments and found some people which said its viking metal. Acuatlly its death metal wirh viking texts . They said it in a interview so :D

  58. O.... G....

    The video was terrific, but the description was very descriptive and thorough. Even if it was copied and pasted, it was a terrific read while listening to such powerful metal. Thank you.

  59. A.... A....

    It is so funny that they made a music video when Johan fucked up the lyrics haha :D
    (no criticism,it is my fucking favorite band)

    A.... A....

    Bruce fucks up the lyrics to Aces High on the Live After Death album, but it sounds soo fucking good who cares! As you can see I'm a singer, we fuck up lyrics all the time, just think of the catalogue both of those men have to remember!!!!!

  60. T.... ....

    playing this song puts more stress on my strumming arm then masturbating

  61. A.... ....

    listen to this song right after Embrace of the Endless Ocean. It is like the father who retrieving his deceased son. 

    A.... ....

    If you let out the part where he says that "He was only 6 winters old", yes I totally agree with your statement ! 

    A.... ....

    And now we have Back on Nothern Shores

    A.... ....

    just done that!!

    A.... ....

    Holy shit ya. It's an episode in my head

  62. A.... A....

    Song of Power

  63. D.... ....

    2:53 makes me go into uncontrollable fits of head banging no matter where I am or what I'm doing. It's dangerous.

    D.... ....

    For me it starts already around 01:57

  64. M.... H....

    Indeed Roy. Brilliance!!!

  65. o.... ....

    it is good in gym...I work like hell on this album :P

  66. T.... M....

    This song makes me want to become a very powerful person

  67. M.... Y....

    \,,/'-,,-'\,,/

  68. E.... ....

    Maybe Johan just needs a hug

  69. E.... ....

    You, my friend, deserves more likes!

  70. f.... ....

    sends chills down my spine

  71. S.... S....

    5:30 yeah , Put The Fuckin Rock on

  72. l.... v....

    yeah your spot on but the unique sounds a band make define said band so it kind of matters

  73. L.... E....

    Amon Amarth say that they make Death Metal, so I would say that they make Deaht Metal in Wiking style assholes xD

  74. M.... ....

    The most powerful part. When second guitar join at 5:26. That part together with bass and slow doublebass drumming.

  75. M.... P....

    called my dog odin most people cant even get that right they allways seem to call him odie im like wtf ya wonder what would happen if you called Oden odie haha

  76. A.... A....

    You say Amon Amarth - you say perfection.

  77. �.... ....

    i fuckin love amon amarth !...amazing band! see them 3 times and counting! \m/

  78. s.... ....

    If you like Melodic Death Metal check out a song I've written for a school project. It's not perfectly recorded but it's a beginning and I would be glad about some feedbacks.

    watch?v=xhgvjAdX82Q

  79. S.... M....

    I always like the viking approach with metal. Anytime I think of heavy metal, i apply the idea of vikings and sort of middle earth kind of ideas along with it, and appreciate that Amon Amarth do the same. Some bands just dont do it, and when some do, it sounds terrific.

  80. S.... ....

    I heard the song a hundret times and always understood "or walk trough hells gate". now realized it is "Hel's gate", finally

  81. g.... ....

    The fate of Norns, awaits us all!

  82. K.... ....

    yeah i know what you mean. this is the song i first heard from amon amarth it ensnared me right away. amon amarth is now my fav metal band \m/

  83. R.... P....

    AMON AMARTH!! THE BETS

  84. M.... L....

    240p destroyed.

  85. T.... C....

    FATEONORNS

  86. d.... ....

    Well,i agree with all that you said,but you can't deny that people might not like some genre of metal and love some others.The categories were made to fit the taste of the audience better,in the end it is all what matters.I personally hate some kinds of death metal and love some other kinds of death metal.For example i hate Cannibal Corpse but i fucking love Gojira.It's all a matter of taste and personal preference.

  87. J.... T....

    Fucking epic is what this is

  88. g.... ....

    Getting some of the words tatted on me with that hammer.

    Hold the Heathen Hammer high!

  89. J.... ....

    destiny... awaits us all

  90. J.... S....

    há uma banda melhor que Amon Amarth essa banda é MANOWAR

  91. C.... C....

    como se llama el concierto

  92. E.... ....

    there is no greater metal band than Amon Amarth

  93. r.... ....

    the band itself says its pure death metal. for melodic deathmetal the guitars are way to low tuned and in melodeath keybords are very important.

  94. R.... V....

    IT'S A REAL VIKING METAL, WITH FULL OF BRUTAL LYRICS WITH A EXCELLENT COMBINATION FUCUS TO NEW APPLICATION OF GENRES...GO ON GUYS...!!!

  95. A.... E....

    Du sagst es..!!!..

  96. t.... ....

    Amon Amarth ist MIT das Geilste, was Metal zu bieten hat! :-D

  97. D.... ....

    Exactly.
