Fire and Ice
Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice]
Born a Son of Nordic tribe
Early spring morning I arrived
When Sails were set, the Ships all done
To Sail with Wind a Waves for long
Down foreign shores across great waters
Many hundred miles from home
This half year deep frozen land
Where I on this morning was born
Proudly my Father took me in
His arms and walked outside
Where for the first time,
Light struck me newborn child
And even though told when older
I can almost recall the scene
When he held me high up towards
The most beautiful sky ever seen
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Oh with gentle hands he did sway me
Over the flames to strengthen and purify
Oh, with loving words did he dab me
With spring's last snow for cleansing me his child
I grew and learned respectfully
The Earth, Wind, Water and the sky
The powers that decided the weather
And rules both the dark and light
I heard the voices of the spirits
Of the forest call my name
I saw the Hammer way up high
Cause lightning in the rain
Watching crystal flakes
Of falling snow on winter nights
Uniting with the pure white flames dance,
When reaching for the sky
Brings me back to the morning this world
First heard my battle cry
Gently swayed above the flames
And cleansed with snow and ice
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Oh, having it with me
From the first day of my life
Oh, always carrying them within me
The powers of Fire and Ice
Now I pass unto thee
My son what was given to me
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Oh, having it with me
From the first day of my life
Oh, always carrying them within me
The powers of Fire and Ice
The lyrics BAPTISED IN FIRE AND ICE of BATHORY is also present in the album Hammerheart (1990)
Bathory è stata una storica band heavy metal svedese, fondata nel 1983 da Quorthon (pseudonimo di Lars-Göran Petrov). Considerati pionieri sia del black metal che del Viking metal, hanno influenzato profondamente il panorama musicale underground. Il nome della band deriva dalla celebre contessa ungherese Elisabetta Bathory, nota per le sue pratiche sanguinaria e la leggenda che la circonda. Bathory ha pubblicato una serie di album fondamentali, tra cui "Blood Fire Death" (1987), considerato un punto di riferimento del black metal, e "Hammerheart" (1990), che introduce elementi folk e viking. Altri album importanti sono "Twilight of the Gods" (1996) e "Requiem" (2001). Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Total Destruction", "In League with Satan", "The Lake", "Equimanthorn" e "Outro Aeternum". Quorthon, unico membro stabile della band, ha gestito tutti gli aspetti musicali e produttivi fino alla sua scomparsa nel 2004.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
