PRE-SAVE / PRE-ORDER:


“Die before you die, and know death is not the end.''

Āsteorfan ('To die' in Anglo Saxon) is a song about overcoming the dark periods in life, and empowering you to face your fear of death, or the death of your ego.

This song offers strength during challenging times and is a reminder that life is not meant to be constantly full of merely light. The darkness is not your enemy; it helps you gain insight into what truly matters.

Lyrics:

Let go of the light
Step into the darkness

The night is not your enemy
The night is your ally

Die before you die
and know death is not the end

Let go of the thinking mind
Reveal inner wisdom

Overcome your fear of the darkness
Of the silence

Ālǣt þæt leoht
Stæpe intō þære þīestre

Seo niht nis þīn fēond
Seo niht is þīn neah freond

Āsteorf ǣr þū āswilst
ond wite þæt dēaþ nis se ende

Ālǣt þenċende mōd
onwrēoh inneran wīsdōm

Oferwin þīne angnesse of þære deorcnesse
Of þære stillnesse
