"En Fallen Fader" text

"En Fallen Fader"

[Swedish:]

Blickade upp i natten
Slagen och driven till marken
Omtöcknad fylld av förbittring
Kunde ej se klart

Famlade bland tankar
Min själ bedriven
Urdriven var min broderhälft
Hörde nattens barn

Hörde nattens barn, mina barn
Mina barn!

Medan regnet föll svalt
Ekade en förtvivlans sång
Över en fallen fader
Sorg blev snart till vrede

Fångad i elden
Ingen väg ut
Hugg, slag och spe
De band en själ, min vargbroder

Min vargbroder, broder i blod
Min vargbroder, broder i blod

Min vargbroder, broder i blod
Min vargbroder, broder i blod

Faller åter ner
I böljande hav
Medvetandets dunkel
Tidlöst drivande gäck

Röster av svek
Galdrar som ljuder
Från nidingars mun
Slitande smärtor
Separerad, bunden

Ett vagt minne, att jag, att jag lyfts upp
I fjärran dunkel, en elds svaga sus

Min vargbroder, broder i blod
Min vargbroder, broder i blod
Broder i blod

[English translation:]

Gazed up into the night
Stricken and driven to the ground
Dazed, filled with bitterness
Could not see clearly

Fumbled among thoughts
My soul pursued
My brother-half compelled
Heard the children of the night

Heard the children of the night... My children

As the rain fell cool
A song of despair echoed
Over a fallen father
Grief soon turned to wrath

Caught in the fire
No way out
Cuts, blows and taunts
They bound a soul, my wolf brother

My wolf brother... Brother in blood

Fallen again
Into billowing seas
The gloom of the mind
Timelessly mocking

Voices of treachery
Resounding incantations
From the mouths of vandals
Excruciating pains
Separated, bound

A vague recollection
Of being lifted up
In faraway gloom
The faint sound of fire
