UNDER FRUSNA STJÄRNOR Där hon går under frusna stjärnor I sin slitna kappa, full med makt Kristalltaggar av granträd kvistar Stenhud av skaren Ändlös tomhet, svarta himlar Hon bestiger under frusna stjärnor Hon står nu på det kala berget Mardrömmar vaknar under frusna stjärnor Himmelens Mästare Havets Herre Bergens Härskare Skogens Värd VAKNA! Himmelens Mästare VAKNA! Bergens Härskare VAKNA! Hör min sång! Hör min röst! Vakna från de hundra långa åren av sömn! Hör min röst! Hör min sång! Vakna från de hundra långa åren av sömn! Hon höjer sin stav, hon tjuter vildt Ut till himmelen under frusna stjärnor Onda andar skall besvara De skall vakna under frusna stjärnor =========== translation: UNDER FROZEN STARS There she goes under frozen stars In her worn cloak, full with power Crystal spikes of spruce branches Stonehide of snow crust Endless void, black skies She climbs under frozen stars Now she stands on the Bald Mountain Nightmares awake under frozen stars Sky Master Sea Lord Mountains Ruler Forest Host AWAKE! Sky Master AWAKE! Mountains Ruler AWAKE! Hear my song! Hear my voice! Awake from the hundred long years of slumber! Hear my voice! Hear my song! Awake from the hundred long years of slumber! She raises her staff, she screams wildly Out to the sky, under frozen stars Evil spirits will answer They shall wake under frozen stars

Moder Av Alla Häxor 05:26
lyrics

MODER AV ALLA HÄXOR Långt härifrän står hennes stuga Trolldomens näste, dold i snårskog Omgiven av urtidens träd och rot Svartkonst skyddar dem från att huggas ner Talar med urträden Påverkar elementen Sten, ström, rot, eld, vind och rymd Hon tänder trolldomselden Sammankallar skogens vilt Uggla, räv, björn, varg och korp Skogens krona — en hemsk krans Av magiska små rötter, växter och svamp Pryder hennes hjässa när hon stirrar på dans Runtom Blåkulla — hemmet av häxors stam Fortfarande så ljuder en gammal ugn Och kopparkitteln öppnar sin mun Deras händer ikväll är så blodiga Och kokade barn är så lydiga =========== Translation: MOTHER OF ALL WITCHES Far from here stands her hut Nest of the witchcraft, hidden in thicket Surrounded by ancient trees and root Black magic protects them from being chopped Speaks with the ancient trees Influences elements Stone, stream, root, fire, wind and void She lights the sorcerous fire Summons the wild animals Owl, fox, bear, wolf and raven Forest crown – an awful wreath Of magic small roots, weeds and mushrooms Adorns her head when she stares at dance Around Blue mountain – home of the witches tribe An old oven still rumbles And the copper cauldron opens its maw Their hands are so bloody tonight And cooked children are so obedient...

about

"Under Frusna Stjärnor" (translated as "Under Frozen Stars") is a single which is preceding the next album by Svartby's tradition.

The new album's concept will tell a story of chthonic monstrous beasts - masters of the Mountains, the Sky, the Sea and the Forest. These beasts are ancient and freaking enormous, and they were in hiatus for ages... until now

The title song "Under Frusna Stjärnor" is an introduction track. Svartby's matriarch, Mother of All Witches, the most powerful and the most important creature in Svartby village. She is walking under frozen stars and climbs the Bald Mountain for shamanic witch ritual to awake the chthonic horrors.

What we want this time for the next album is coming back to the roots - the ancient evil forest, the northern nature, and obviously Swedish lyrics to wrap it all.

We also decided to give a second birth to the song about Svartby's matriarch from the first album. "Moder av Alla Häxor" is about the same old witch - Mother of All Witches.

Both songs are intertwined by concept. We actually developed the lyrics part from "Moder" about how the matriarch talks with wild animals, and we turned it into something bigger... MUCH BIGGER.

The "Moder av Alla Häxor" song finally sounds like it should have been recorded, granted the help from our fellow vocalist Darya Ivlitskaya. So we hope you like it. It is a present to ourselves and to you as we celebrate the 10-years anniversary of our first album this year.
