    I'd really like the translations to these two songs, I know the second is a bit too long but I hope someone can give me a hand!

    Nordbloss Och Gasteld
    Norrskenets trollsejd i vildsköna natten
    maktgjuter gasteldens flammande sken
    Eldfängda irrbloss på istäckta vatten
    belyser då snårskog och frostsprucken sten

    Böljebägarens silverklara
    midvintersal under nordbloss och grant
    Galderbesjungen av dråpgirig mara
    Nymånens bävsamma bundsförvant
    ------------------------------

    Trollslottet

    Om dunkel stig i mångmilaskogar förtäljs i bergasagan
    En snårig led som kantas av gyger som har blivit til sten
    I grenars verk av vindars iver höres ödslig klagan
    Vad lurar bortom nästa krök, bortom irrblossken?

    Din rädslo äro större än att bliva rovdjursföda
    När du trampar stigens väg i mystisk labyrint
    I ringlande vandring svår, en ändlös trälamöda
    Genom kitteldalens djup upp mot högan klint

    Vid dess slu.t* den digra skugga fägnar mänskligt öga *(to write the word without problems I had to change a bit the spelling)
    Lockar trolskt i aftonbärgring med borglik silhuett
    Med vindbrygga över vallgrav tornen prålar höga
    Som från en fyr det starka ljusspel äreporten beklätt

    Ett avskorligt kungadöme i molnens vida kappor
    Nedanför nu synes vandra midnattflammans hov
    Tunga steg uppför berget forna tempeltrappor
    När drängsol går i himlen högt, de prisar nattens lov

    I trollslottet
    Trollslottet, sagovindars boning

    Skuggornas runokväde ifrån denna klunga
    En dyster hymn av malmklangsstämmor ifrån hedna valv
    De grymvulna urtidstroll i norrönt mål nu sjunga
    För denna urlivsformens väsen själva berget skalv

    Som villebråd i stenlagt rike nidfullt du beskådas
    De omvände synesns bilder, även dina ord
    Och aldrig skall du från urtidsborgens klor benådas
    Ty du bjöds på glömskebrygd vid trollkungens bord
    "-Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity..."
    "-Actually, I'm planning to threaten you."

    "Well, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do. Evil plots don't just make themselves, you know!"

    I just love Vintersorg. Trollslottet is one of my favourite Otyg songs, so...

    The mountain tales tell of a shady path in deep forests
    A brushy path flanked by female trolls that have turned to stone
    In branches is the desolate wailing from the wind's ardour heard
    What lurks beyond the next turn, beyond the ghostly glow*?

    Your fear is greater than that of becoming predator food
    When you tread the path forward in a mysterious labyrinth
    In hard, winding wander, an endless thralling burden
    Through the depth of the kettle valley, up to the summit high

    At its end the great shadow delights the human eye
    Lures bewitchingly in the evening with castle-like silhouette
    With a drawbridge over the moat, the towers glitter high
    Like from a beacon, a strong light play adorns the main gate

    A hidden kingdom in the wide coats of the clouds
    Below now seemingly wanders the court of the midnight flame
    Heavy steps up the mountain's ancient temple stairs
    When the moon goes high in the sky, they praise the night

    In the castle of trolls
    The castle of trolls, dwelling of fairy winds
    Troll castle
    Troll castle

    The shadows' rune chanting from this crowd
    A gloomy hymn of metallic voices from heathen vaults
    The fierce primeval trolls now sing in northern tongue
    The mountain itself trembles before these ancient beings

    Like prey in stony kingdom you are wickedly watched
    They turn your vision's images, even your words
    And never shall you you get mercy from the claws of the ancient castle
    For you were given the potion of oblivion at the table of the troll king

    In the castle of trolls
    The castle of trolls, the dwelling of fairy winds
    Troll castle
    Troll castle

    *irrbloss literary translates as "will-o'-the-wisp"
    It's funnier in Enochian

    Thanks! Otyg are definitely one of the best bands I've ever heard! Mr V is an absolute genius!
