Witches & Black Magic

A bit more "faithful".

Be careful what you wish for brother, he might just arrive.

What is it that you want?

I think "wisdom".

Wisdom is not a good thing to have these days.

Are you sure, you don't rather want loads of naked men?

No, wisdom is all that I want.
So shall it be.

Brother, the way things are going, gonna get naked and mustered with all my bros anyway.

Don't be shy - it's World War III!

Can you feel the Panic?

The Germnic tribes vs. the Romans.

A history of the American Indian, plain's nations.

Smoking the peace pipe.

Minorities versus soldiers.

I'm sorry, I cannot hold this peace.

Don't you wish the wind and the sea never blew us together?

I suppose not much of a stretch to go from neo-paganism to issues of post- colonialism, since virtually all indigenous beliefs were once considered "witchcraft".
Rather ironic, since even today some fundamentalist Catholics and Protestants consider each other similar to witches.

Elin Kåven - Gávnnahallan / Revealed

Guhká jáhkken son lea mu
oskkáldasvuođas
Ja go čolui giellásiid
njálgát daid njillen
Čáppa nieguid máisttašin
bihkkaduvvon nieguid
Divttii mu jáhkkit
Fillii mu jáhkkit

Gávnnahallan, Gávnnahallan, Gávnnahallan
Čielggaduvvan – nannejuvvon

Jáhkken son mu sáŋgár lea
salodettiin mu
suddjii behtolašvuođa
dan sadjái go mu
suddjii behtolašvuođa
čiegai cummái njihtama
Logai ráhkistit
dasto ráiskkidii

Gávnnahallan Gávnnahallan Gávnnahallan
Čielggaduvvan – nannejuvvon – duođastuvvon

Dávjá vuvssii giellásiid
Gazzen, njielastin
Ledje boahtán ovddežis
ja viehkis liigenissonis

Huvddahuššamis
Buiján gierisvuohta
Huvddahuššamis
Gilvvii bahča hája

Gávnnahallan Gávnnahallan Gávnnahallan
Čielggaduvvan – nannejuvvon – duođastuvvon

English translation:

For long I thought he was mine
by fidelity
and when he spit lies
I swallowed happily
tasted beautiful dreams
decayed dreams
He let me believe
fooled me to believe

Revealed, revealed, revealed
Clarified – confirmed

I thought he was my hero
while in his arms
protecting the treason
instead of me
protecting the treason
hiding betrayals in kisses
He said he made love
but then destroyed it

Revealed, revealed, revealed
Clarified – confirmed – proven

Often he vomited lies
I swallowed and ate
They came from the past
and malicious other women

Disrespectfully
forsaken devotion
Disrespectfully
scattered awful scents

Revealed, revealed, revealed
Clarified – confirmed – proven
