Kælan Mikla [English translation]

I was once a child, just like you

But the darkness swallowed me whole

Made me fall into the shivering depths

I froze, but now I am free.

I’m a voice that was silenced for hundreds of years,

Left by the cold, in the form of tears

A lump in the throat, but now I am free

And I freeze your fragile souls.

As I rise from the ripples, slippery as ice

Insane as I break into a wavering dance

I no longer belong to him.

I am the lady of the cold

Out on the prowl, in a mischievous game

Made to torment, roam amongst humans

As I freeze you, rip up your chests.

Paint your bright world black.

I’m the poetry of broken hearts.

I am the lady of the cold.
