"Vredesbyrd" lyrics

"Vredesbyrd"

Reis deg opp
La oss bestride
Den tanke fra vår lend

Og dyrk
På en forbannet jord
En smertens ætt

For så og tynge
De barmhjertiges skjød
Som har tiltro til
Den sjeleløses brød

For den tro du besitter
Er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod
Og din nøden etter viten
Er en overflod av hån og skjend

Smerten I mitt hjerte er ikke tørste
Etter himmelsk legeme

Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt
Det er ilden og den brenner
Det er bare det at du
Skjemmer for den

Ta del I skyldens skygge
Behag din sjel med syndens under
For hvor er vel du
Når lampen slukkes

Men døden kommer ei
Med vårt bud
Gjenklang fra den prektiges arv
Vil innfri det endelige forderv

Reis deg opp
La oss bestride
Den tanke fra vår lend

Og dyrk
På en forbannet jord
En smertens ætt

For den tro du besitter
Er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod
Og din nøden etter viten
Er en overflod av hån og skjend

Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode
Der du gjemmer din skam I lovsang
Så skal du få smake frukten
Av din egen bortgang

Som en flokk av helveds opphav
Og forvaltere av foraktens sønn
Parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt
Med beviset på vår tunge byrde
Ligger deres sinn I åndenød
Skamfert tilbake uten makt

Reis deg opp
La oss bestride
Den tanke fra vår lend

Og dyrk
På en forbannet jord
En smertens ætt

For så og tynge
De barmhjertiges skjød
Som har tiltro til
Den sjeleløses brød

[English translation]

[Burden of Wrath]

Rise up
Let us fight
The thought away from our backs

And seed
On a cursed land
A lineage of pain

Then to burden
The of the merciful
Who believe in
The bread of the soulless

For the faith you posses
Is nothing but disgust and arrogance
And your need for knowledge
Is an abundance of mockery and desecration

The pain in my heart is not thirst
For a heavenly body

Nor is the failing search for angelic power
It is the fire and it burns
It's just that you
Are in its way

Take part in the shadow of guilt
Please your soul with the wonders of sin
For where will you be
When the lamp is extinguished

But death comes not
With our message
Reverberations from the splendid inheritance
Will redeem the eternal corruption

Rise up
Let us fight
The thought away from our backs

And seed
On a cursed land
A lineage of pain

For the faith you posses
Is nothing but disgust and arrogance
And your need for knowledge
Is an abundance of mockery and desecration

Bring judgement over heads other than your own
Where you hide your shame in songs of praise
Then you shall taste the fruit
Of your own passing away

Like a flock of hellspawns
And stewards of the son of despite
We parry their guile with the magnificence of disgust
By the evidence of our heavy burden
Lies their mind drowning
Left dessicated without power

Rise up
Let us fight
The thought away from our backs

And seed
On a cursed land
A lineage of pain

Then to burden
The of the merciful
Who believe in
The bread of the soulless
