Yep, Swedish artist Nordman again, and here's a Japanese anime video to with it, trying to translate the lyrics as we speak:

Beneath the Aurora
Titania (gone for lunch) Posted May 10, 2010
The light of the aurora is fading in the sky,
the shadows are hunting again
Did you see an image from a different world
The light feel down like a menacing sword
Did you cry when the horses stampeded,
scared by a blazing sky?
Sparkling, the night fell down,
right in your way - when all was gone.
I am here, I am not afraid tonight
There are things that scare me more
I am here, I'll take you home tonight
I will take you home tonight
If you become eternal - what happens then
When you've seen all - where will you go
If you understand all - nothing will be left
The questions drown in all the answers
Are you scared by the sword that was broken in half
If it was a dream you will wake up
The echo was left in a frozen forest
but became quiet when the wind died
I am here, I am not afraid tonight
There are things that scare me more
I am here, I'll take you home tonight
I will take you home tonight
Come to me now, nothing more will happen
The biggest threat comes from what you can't sense
I am here, I am not afraid tonight
There are things that scare me more
I am here, I'll take you home tonight
I will take you home tonight

Freely translated from this song, illustrated anime style and quite cleverly I think:

Live performance - and the lyrics are somewhat different from the one I tried to translate

You know, that Japanese anime version in my first posting stays pretty much true to the lyrics - well, as much as anime could stay true to Norse lyrics expresed in Swedish

I like the lyrics - very forceful, I think. And the recorder and the string and bow-thing together. What is that fiddle called, do you know Titania?

Nyckelharpa (translates more or less into 'key harp'), a very interesting instrument

its quite an expressive instrament, when you concider the fact that the finger dos'ent touch the string, so you have very limiting control over the string, i'm impressed

Makes the sound very - er - distinct is the word, I guess
like a spinet or a cembalo or an organ: it either makes a sound or it doesn't, there aren't really other options are there? Except playing fast or slow
Mind you, the nyckelharpa you can w*rk with the bow
