Hello!
Actually it is the text from a song of a Norwegian metal band, written in
1994... :)) Maybe they have tried to imitate the language of the past, also
because I think they tell about popular tales or similar things (.. if
you're really interested, the band is "ulver" and the CD is entitled
"Bergtatt-et Eventyr i 5 Capitler")
Bye and thanks for your help!!!
Mircea
