[Musik by Vintersorg]
[Lyrik by Karl-Erik Forsslund]
Som en gammal isbelupen drake ligger Jökeln tung
Och vitgrönraggig nedför branten mellan tvenne toppar
Stjärten lindad runtom högsta
Spetsen, buken spänd och stinn
I fjällets kittel, ryggen krönt av mittmoränens ås,
Svart och knöglig
Ner mot daln han sträcker långsmal nos med rynkigt
Skinn till läppar, vita tänder grina där imellan,
Genom Jökelportens svarta hål rinner ur hans
Gap en lerig ström
Taggig kam på hjässan, mörka grumligt gröngrå ögen -
Stelt han stirrar över dalen ner,
Trycker nosen vädrar mot
Marken mellan tassarna vars mörka klor
Skymta fram ur våt smutsgrå ragg
Småväxt ättling av sin jättestamfar, istidsdraken,
Fader Jökul själv - han som sträckte stjärten upp
Mot polen ramarna mot blockberg och ural,
Han som över fjäll och slätter vräkte sig,
Krälande och vältrande
Han som fyllde hav och sjöar,
Rev med klorna rispor i de hårda hällar
Gnagde klipporna och pressade
Bergen samman med sin tyngd
Ham som skövlade och lade öde sagoskogar,
Gröna paradis, blåste med iskall andedräkt bort
Allt som levde, blommande och lyste
Vintersorg is a Swedish musical group founded in 1994 under the name Vargatron. Active to this day, the band stands out for its black/viking metal style characterized by lyrics that explore fantasy, mythological, naturalistic, cosmic, and metaphysical themes. The name Vintersorg, meaning "Winter Depression", was taken from Margit Sandemo's Isfolket series of novels, where the character of the same name is the son of a prominent pagan leader. Vintersorg has released numerous albums, including "Heart of the Ancient Forest" (2001), "The 13th Sun" (2004) and "Sol Invictus" (2017). Among the most representative songs are "The Serpent's Tongue", "Vintersorg" and "Blood and Iron".

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
