Skyforger has only three songs in English. But, with the luck of living in theinformation age, it was very easy to find the lyrics in English. And after reading the lyrics, I have enjoyed the band even more. Skyforger’s lyrics are about Latvian history, folklore, mythology, culture and Nature. The historical background and pride in their national symbols and culture gives originality and content to the band’s material, something which I really value and I think is missing in current metal bands. Skyforger’s music made me feel inspired to know more about history in general and Latvia’s history and culture in particular, so much so that I decided to visit the country. I really wanted to see the places mentioned in the lyrics, the fields, forests, marshes and rivers. These verses, for example, really impressed me because they were about something I have never seen before: snow.
