Lyrics
[Poem by jørn hernik sværen / translation by kristoffer garm rygg]
Hear! From this day forth Are the heights of horeb broken And the sea of sulphur - ice
And blasphemy! In heaven's chambers: Souls had fled their halls And closed was the book of life And behold! The great, white throne: Black With sacred blood
Our father - Dead by his own hands: An epitaph Worthy no king
And so ie everything A nameless lie Who, my god Am i?
Man knows me As lucifer, the serpent of old The wretched hold my banner high Your gift - all life! - I grant the grave Yet I am not your death
Come carry forth the crown To your once held throne Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas: I am crowned In grief unheard of!
In this lone monarchy - without friend or foe - I greet the morning sun With strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not In the dust of death
I am weighed down Beneath the tragedy crown, - Nameless And alone A fatherless son
