This is the second song from the new album. My Norwegian neighbor Gaute is singing the lead, me and my girlfriend Mando singing the harmony and then I brought over some more friends and we sang it all as a choir multiple times to thicken it up. It was a really fun experience.

The song is split into two parts. One is mainly vocals and harp and the second sort of orchestral, I've always wanted to do something like that so it was great finally having an opportunity to do it. This song is about the Gjallarhorn, Mimers horn that was given to Heimdall. He blows the horn to wake the sleeping gods and warn them that the end has begun. Loki and Heimdall are the last ones standing on the battlefield and Loki scorns him for blowing the horn too late. Heimdall replies to Loki that he can see further than him and that the world will begin anew.

Sörj en fallen vän och slå hans baneman i trenne järn
Bered för strid
Ljud ditt horn

Mörker lägger sig, en ålder börjar här av krig och kamp
av svärd och blod
Ljud ditt horn

Vintrar följs, hör vargatjut! Fränder vänder rygg, det råder svält i männskoborg
Ljud ditt horn

Marken häver sig, den skakar lider ont, i alla riken skälver den
Så ljud ditt horn

Ljud av barnaskrik när himlen öppnar sig, se is och eld när dom närmar sig
Ljud ditt horn

Döden står vid gudaport, du som allt sett vet, det sedan länge är för sent
Men ljud ditt horn

English Translation

Mourn a fallen friend and put his murderer in irons three.
Prepare for battle
Sound your horn!

Darkness falls. Here begins an age of war and struggle, of sword and blood
Sound your horn!

Winter follows winter, hear the howling of the wolves! Friends turn their backs [on eachother]. Starvations reigns in the fortress of man
Sound your horn!

The ground heaves, it shakes in pain, shivers in all realms
So sound your horn!

The skies open with the sound of children screaming, behold ice and fire as they draw near
Sound your horn!

Death stands at the gate of the Gods. You who've seen it all know that it's far too late
But sound your horn!
