Im sorry i should have attached the lyrics with my origional post. Here they are:

Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak låg brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid

Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Frå tidleg mot seint

Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land.
Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi.

They came from north
Towards another time
Behind lays a burning world
Ahead lays another battle

They saw storms in the distance
but persisted boldly and brave
Into the heart of the earth
Restlessly

The dead rise from the water and wail scornedly to the shore
Calling from behind all laden ships



SOmething like that. I'm not too good at Norwegian.

World is not the right translation. Ord means word;

Behind lay burning words.

Here is a slightly more literal translation than the (good) one already provided. The lyric is written in dialects used in North of Norway, and some words can have double meaning or deceive a bit. For example:
FOR (fór) can mean "left, departed" as well as "travelled"
BEINT means "straight" ("BEIN" is "leg"....)
DAUE is a transcribed dialect version of the word "døde", pronounced with a diphthong and a silent second D. In Norse time one would have written "daude", pronouncing the second D as TH in English "this".

Dei for ifra nord - They left the North
Mot ei anna tid - Towards another time
Bak låg brende ord - Left burning words behind
Framfor dei ei ny strid - Ahead (lays) a new battle/war

Dei såg (såg) stormar i det fjerne - They saw tempests/storms in the distance
Men haldt fram og beint - But kept going straight
Inn mot jordas kjerne - Into the core of the Earth
Frå tidleg mot seint - Early and late (without a stop)

Dei daue gror opp av havet - The dead ones grows out of the sea
Og ropar så sårt mot land - Soaringly calling towards (the) shore
Dei ropar bak alle skuter - Calling behind every vessel
Som kavar seg tungt forbi - (which is) Crawling heavily past (them)

The last part is from Aksel Sandemose's book "Horns for our adornment" from 1936.
