Clear was the sky : now storm clouds are forming
the sun disc was high : the dusk came too soon
sighted : a forest of masts and sails
ride swift yee messenger : the word must get through
Carry the news to the villages westward
Asa Bay is under attack
light the signal fires along the shoreline
sound the bugle : upon us is the storm
Ride up the coast : sound the alarm
the enemy fleet soon to land
women and children to the hill : the enclosure
to the shore every brave able hand
Sons of ours afar in foreign land
their swords will be missed on this fateful day
brother of Eigil : who set sail for Vinland
with Torgeir the strong and Ashur the brave
Upon us the storm : the twilight was sudden
the clear sunny day : now bitterly cold
may the Gods be all with us : and fate by us stand
let the livestock all run and bury your gold
The messenger riding swift through the forest
crossing the wide open plains
carrying the news of the storm : the fleet fast approaching
to arms all : defend Asa Bay
Clear was the sky : now storm clouds are forming
the sun disc was high : the dusk came too soon
now restless the waves : unruly the sea
red are the sails : may the message get through
Now dark is the sky : the storm clouds assembled
the enemy fleet soon to land
in the dark grey haze glimmering sharp steel is drawn
the swelling sails nearer now : stand and fight every man
Ride through the forest : past mountains and creeks
upon us is fire and doom
carry me : run swift : my good able steed
the news of the storm must get through
The lyrics THE MESSENGER of BATHORY is also present in the album Nordland ii (2003)
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
