--------------------------------------------
|
|
Minnenes ekko stiller timen
|
Kneblet i tungsinnets lenker faller jeg ifra
|
Ikke lenger vil jeg være boltet fast i vemodighetens anker
|
Men endelig fa lengselen slukket - Etter a dra
|
|
Drakk jeg for meget av livhapets krus
|
Tok jeg gledens forfengelighet for gitt
|
For min strid mot tomhetens smerte - Denne dødsangstens rus
|
Er det eneste ene igjen - Som er mitt
|
|
I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
|
At jeg ikke har noen andre a takke enn meg selv
|
Derfor er jeg rolig nar
|
Repet strammes rundt min nakke
|
|
Stumme vitner kan ei gi trøst
|
Menigmann i gravkorets forsamling vil aldri fatte
|
Det landet av fortapelse
|
Jeg egenhendig skapte
|
|
Denne intense dragning mot dødens portaler
|
En vandrende studie i gratkvalt messe-noir
|
Behersket siden tidenes morgen
|
Men noe jeg aldri lot slippe taket - Var sorgen
|
|
I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
|
At jeg ikke har noen andre a takke enn meg selv
|
Derfor er jeg rolig nar
|
Repet strammes rundt min nakke
|
|
--ENGLISH TRANSLATION--
|
|
The echo of memories sets the hour
|
Bound in the chains of gloom I fall from..
|
No longer will I be bolted to the anchor of melancholy
|
But finally to get my longing extinguished - To leave
|
|
Perhaps I drank to much of the mugs of life’s hope
|
Did I take the vanity of pleasure for granted
|
For my battle against the pain of emptiness - This trip of death anxiety
|
Is the only thing left - That is mine
|
|
In my solitude I know anyway (that)
|
I have no one to thank but myself
|
That is why I am calm
|
When the noose tightenes around my neck
|
|
Mute witnesses can not comfort
|
The common man in the funeral choir, I will never comprehend
|
The land of damnation
|
Which I singlehandedly created
|
|
This intense pull towards the portals of death
|
A walking study in tearfully choked Messe Noir (black mass)
|
Mastered since the dawning of time
|
But something that I never let go of - Was the sorrow
|
|
In my solitude I know anyway (that)
|
I have no one to thank but myself
|
That is why I am calm
|
When the noose tightenes around my neck
|
