Long is one night, and long the second one;
How can I.... how can I wait through three?
Once a month.... a month seemed less to me
Compared to this one night of waiting for her....
As dear to no man in days past
Was maid as she is to me:
But no elf, no god, will grant my prayer
That I may lie with her....
Hail to thee, Veraldur!!!
Long is one night, and long the second one;
How can I.... how can I wait through three?
Once a month.... a month seemed less to me
Compared to this one night of waiting for her....
Arise, Skirnir, now ride swiftly to Frey, my son,
And ask him this:
With whom is the Wise one so angry,
So sad at hearth?
Hail to thee, Veraldur!!!
To stake life on the luck of the dice
Is better than to be a coward:
The day of my death is by fate,
My time is fixed.
Night has fallen:
Now we must ride over the misty mountains,
The fells of the troll-folk;
We shall both arrive or both fall
....into the hands of Gymir.
Hail to thee, Veraldur

Falkenbach è un gruppo musicale tedesco di black metal viking, attivo dal 1994. Il nome del gruppo significa "Falconbrook" in tedesco. L'unico membro permanente è Vratyas Vakyas, che si occupa della composizione, degli arrangiamenti e dell'esecuzione di tutti gli strumenti. La musica di Falkenbach è caratterizzata da atmosfere epiche e malinconiche, influenzate dalla mitologia norrena e dalla cultura germanica. I testi sono in tedesco e trattano temi come la guerra, la morte, la natura e la spiritualità. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Havamal", "Nordstjärnan" e "Sigurdr". L'album di debutto, "En ihrer Zeit", risale al 1995. Falkenbach è considerato uno dei pionieri del genere black metal viking e ha influenzato numerose band successive.
