"Bergagasten" text

"Bergagasten"

[Swedish:]

Dunkla bleka syner, i bergets drömmar
Avgrundens fasor, skuggor som ej bleknar
Vindar från jordens djup, skämda dofter av död
En gnagande känsla, av evighetens marter
Tiden är svunnen... från mitt liv

Timmar och dagar, svarta så som jord
Ensamma och tysta, i bojor tunga
Bojor smidda av drömmar, om evighetens slut
Bojor smidda av hopp, om livets slut
Bojor smidda av hat, till bergets grav

Avbrutten i döden, karvad ur bergasten
Vriden likt död mans kropp
Lysten av hämnd, illmarig, vred
Uråldrig gast, själadömd i bergets vrår
Bergagast...

Korpklo, korpklo, vinge svart
Sök skydd i bergets famn
Till nattgastars karga land

Välkommen till mitt kalla rike
Spunnen i plågors svala nät
Fyller dig med vanvett
Jag är en bergagast...

[English translation:]

Dark pale visions, in the dreams of the mountain
The horrors of the abyss, shadows that do not fade
Winds from the deep of the earth, putrid smells of death
A gnawing feeling, of the torments of eternity
The time has fled from my life

Hours and says, black as earth
Lonely and silent, in heavy shackles
Shackles forged from dreams, of the end of eternity
Shackles forged from hope, of the end of life
Shackles forged from hatred towards the grave of the mountain

Broken in death, carved from mountain rock
Twisted like a dead man's corpse
Greedy for vengeance, sly, wrathful
Ancient ghost, condemned to the crannies of the mountain
Mountain ghost...

Raven claw, raven claw, black wing
Seek shelter in the embrace of the mountain
To the barren land of nightghosts

Welcome to my cold realm
Spun in the cool web of torment
Fills you with insanity
I am the mountain ghost...
