Lyrics
I torven jag låg med mordisk brand
Under mossan bland bergets sand
Lerad och täckt griper spjutets skaft
Genomsyrad av urgudars kraft
Besmyckad och döljd med kvist och lav
Jag lyfter min kropp ur skogens grav
När bytet nalkas på åsens brant
Inget ljud när jag krypa mot stigens kant
När nattens vålnad av skogen gjorts fri
Från skuggor jag resas med ett vansinnes-skri
Skräck ny fryser fiendes röst
Då spjutet spräcka, tugga hans bröst
Skövlarna dö, en efter en Jag hänger deras huvud på trädens gren
Där de stirra fulla av häpnad
Änger i blick vid asfåglars skepnad
På hällen jag sprider ben och tarm
De blir nu mat för skogens garm
Jorden nu sluka deras kraft, deras låga
Så att deras ätt ej hit mer våga
Makt nu viska i höstlövens sus
När lundar ånga av rodnadens ljus
Då vandra jag ner under rotens gång
Då skogen i frihet sjunga sin sång
I laid on the peat in a murderous blaze
Under the moss, in the sands of the mountain
Muddied and covered, clutching on a spear’s handle
Impregnated with the power of ancient gods
Bedecked and masked with branches and lichen
I raised my body from the grave of the forest
When the prey approaches the end of the ridge
No light as I crawl towards the edge of the path
When the ghost of the night is released from the forest
I’m raised from the forests with an insane scream
Horror paralyses the voices of enemies
A spear bursts, impales his chest
Wasters are dying, one by one
I hang their heads on the trees' branches
They gaze there full of consternation
Regret in their look in form of carrion birds
I spread the limbs and intestines on the tiles
They become meal for the forest’s beast
The earth absorbs their power, their flame
So that their kin won’t dare to enter there anymore
Might is whispering in the fallen leaven
When the groves are steaming in the reddened light
I wander down under the roots' path
The forest sings its song in freedom
Lyrics translation
In the peat I slept with murderous fire
Under the Moss among the sand of the mountain
Lated and covered grabs the shank of the spear
Imbued with the power of God
Adorned and hidden with twig and lichen
I lift my body out of the grave of the forest
When the prey approaches the ridge steep
No sound when I crawl towards the edge of the path
When the night ghost of the forest is made free
From shadows I travel with an insane cry
Horror New freezes enemy's voice
Then the spear burst, chewing his chest
The shovels die, one by one I hang their head on the branch of the trees
Where they stare full of amazement
Blick in glances at the likeness of asfåglars
On the hob I spread legs and gut
They now become food for the garm of the forest
The Earth is now devouring their power, their flame
So that their offspring no more dare
Power now whisper in the sus of autumn leaves
When Groves steam off the light of blush
Then I walk down the course of the root
Then the forest in Freedom Sing Their song
I laid on the PEA in a murderous blaze
Under the moss, in the sands of the mountain
Muddied and covered, clutching on a spear,’s handle
Impregnated with the power of ancient gods
Bedecked and masked with branches and lichen
I raised my body from the grave of the forest
When the prey approaches the end of the ridge
No light as I crawl towards the edge of the path
When the ghost of the night, is released from the forest
I'm raised from the forests with an insane scream
Horror paralyses the voices of enemies
A spear bursts, impales his chest
Wasters are dying, one by one
I hang their heads on the trees ' branches
They gaze there full of understanding
Regret in their look in form of carrion birds
I spread the limbs and intestines on the tiles
They become meal for the forest's beast
The earth absorbs their power, their flame,
So that their kin won't dare to enter there anymore
Might is whispering in the fallen leaven
When the groves are steaming in the reddened light
I wander down under the roots ' path
The forest sings its song in freedom
