Lyrics

Da trolddomen bleff h¦ved - & need
Paa jorden han sv¦ved: da som nu
Vaer jaget ved at lefve, ved at aande
Ved hver bev¦gelse saa stoor at n¦sten
Dend vaer smerte

Medens han gik omkring
Blandt mennisker, vaer han skuffed fèrst:
I liivets ydre vaer der intet skifte
Lig det han hafvde fèlt I ulvens liiv

De tr¦ller under ham
Med at troskyldig sind
Fryckter ham
Een krafft aff sand natur
Som sanser uden selfbedrag

Han gliider useet blandt dem, streifer I sit jag
Lig kv¦ldens farver, nattens aandedrag

For ingen guderèst hafver nogensinde
Git mennisket svar paa hvem han skiulede
D¦mon, phantom & varulv
Vaer kund naffn paa det de aldrig kunde finde

End han -
I hans hi¦rte: een affgrund tung
Som det sorte hav
Der eldsker sine dyb

Der -
Sammenkrèget
I vintrens bund
F¦lder han al deris gl¦de
Liiv, mod & haab

Maanen, stiigende paanye
Hilser ham fra en sunken himmel

...Oc ved den lydende midnattssalme
Som fryckt I natten v¦ver
Skald de ffromme atter falme

The spell did breake and gave release
To hours amongst mankynde
But then, as now, the strayn
Of living, breathing, yea ev'rie move
A burden approaching payn

Dishearten'd he was
As he wander'd with men
On the surface of life - no change
No change as the beast within

They fear him, these fooles
A power pure, nature unveil'd
Perception sans delusion

Amongst them he walks unseen
Like a tint if twilight
The breath of night

No voice of god did tell
Man what he did hide
Werewolf & phantom, daemon & beast -
Mere names given to what they fear'd

But he -
In his heart: an abyss unfathomable
As teh blacken'd sea
Which loves its deeps

There -
An animal shadow crawling
O'er the wintry soil
All hope, joie & life he slayes

The moone, rising anew
Bids him welcome from a waning sky

... and by the sounding
Of his midnight psalme
Feare shall be harvest agayn
From the pious hearts of men
