Lyrics: Guds Spelemän

Var äro de män som drogo här vägen fram
Med milda ögon och sorgsna för brott och skam

Små bröder i mörka skogar med ulv och snö
Var äro de män som drogo så stort att dö

De logo bara för drivan och köld och pil
Små bröder i mörka skogar med mil på mil

Från människors hyll och gårdar där ondskan satt
Vem hör deras silverklockor i molntung natt

Var äro de bröder gångna och spelemän
I dalen sade man mig att de lever än




God's Musicians

Where are those men who wandered upon the roads
With gentle eyes so saddened by crime and shame

Small brothers in the dark forests with wolves and snow
Where are those men who march onward towards death

They grimaced only for snowdrifts, and cold and arrows
Small brothers in dark forests, wandering mile upon mile

From people's homes and farms where wickedness lies
Who hears their silver bells in the cloudy night?

Where have the brothers and the musicians gone
In the valley they have told me they're still alive
