Survival Of The Outlaw-Solefald

Survival Of The Outlaw - Solefald As a hungry wolf with an old man's teeth I run Freezing cold in caves, forever crushing the sun The daylight and all time when the weather is clear I live in night and darkness, that's why I'm still here Iceland was my home with seals in the fjords My winter's only thought is fleeing from the hordes They may come anytime to kill me like a dog Always on guard I pray for another day of fog As the outlaw am I shout at the mighty Thor Greatest god of thunder I can't take it anymore Take me home where smoke rises from the halls Make me welcome again within the Chieftain's walls Drown his treacherous wife the adulterous Queen Who told the King what a rapist I had been She lied she was wrong she asked me to seduce her In her games of sex I was bound to be the loser She harmed her husband's skald, caused the poet's disgrace Outlawed at Althingi, I can never show my face At Reykjanes again, lest I want to endure All the evils she accused me of doing to her More bone than man, I hail the gods of the North Avenge my injustices, I beg you to come forth Misfortune loves both fool and wise For seven winters I have strayed the land of ice A master of the word and a man of the sword Of tongue and steel many times I proved to be lord Gods of the North, I beg you come forth More bone than man Odin I hail you As a slave on the run I must stay out of sight Allfather make my destiny right That in none of the worlds whose number is nine Another innocent must suffer a fate like mine As the outlaw I am I shout at might Thor Great god of thunder I can't take it anymore Take me to Reykjavik where smoke rises from the halls Make me welcome again within my Chieftain's walls
