These lands are my domain
Where I endlessly can soar
These lands are mine to bare
The burden of your kind

For once I do not weep
Over the lands so scarred
For once I do not keep
The secrets of my scars

Upheaval of existence
Spread my ashes
Across these wondrous lands
The forests deep
The mountains high

Here you shall not tread
Welcome, you are not
With elements fused
We deny your kind

Here you shall not build
Avatars of appraisals
These are our ground
For you not to defile

The forever-frost
The northern lights
Our beloved homeland
Of icy graves
Of wintry bliss

This pale blue speck
Defiled by thee
We will cleanse
The world from thee

Stalwart we stand
With endless sight
With banner high
Northbound and Godless

This serves to prove my earlier point about how if one is really paying attention, they can figure out the links and commonalities between all Germanic languages.

The imagery in this piece is both sparse and gorgeous, and is very evocative of the Northlands. I personally think that you write just as well in English as you do in Swedish. :)
