"Nattsjäl, Drömsjäl"

[Swedish:]

Nattens mara väser, famnar dig i sömn
Vaggar stilla ro i sinnets land
Sveper ned mot djupen, i drömmarnas hav
Skändar och vrider, tanke och tal

Grå ögen av vanvett, stirrandes utan ro
Gnisslande käftar gnager i själens märg
Som blod ur aska, driver hon förbi
Genom gånggriftars ro, från bergens djup

Den bleka drottning över mardrömmarnas kval
Vallar sina själar till vansinnets grav...

Nattsjäl, nattsjäl, drömsjäl, stormande gast
På en springare utav kval, rider hon dig... i natt

Under grenar smala, i rötters vindlande snår
Vadar fram i mörker, mot marans eviga hav

Den bleka drottning över mardrömmarnas kval
Vallar sina själar till vansinnets grav...

Nattsjäl, nattsjäl, drömsjäl, stormande gast
På en springare utav kval, rider hon dig... i natt

I kaosets eviga flod, ur nattvindars djup
I nattens tysta timmar, under marans kalla hand
Formas våra drömmar om livets slut
Nattsjäl, drömsjäl, evigt stormande gast

Nattens mara väser, famnar dig i sömn
Vaggar stilla ro i sinnets land
Grå ögon av vanvett, stirrandes utan ro
Gnisslande käftar gnager i själens märg

[English translation:]

The nightmare hisses, embraces you in slumber
Cradling calm and peace in the land of the mind
Sweeps down towards the depths, in the sea of dreams
Violates and twists, thought and speech

Grey eyes of madness, staring without rest
Grinding jaws gnaw into the marrow of the soul
Like blood out of ashes, she drifts by
Through the peace of tombs
From the deep of the mountains

The pale queen of the sufferings of nightmares
Herds her souls to the grave of madness...

Nightsoul, nightsoul, dreamsoul, storming ghost
On a steed of suffering, she rides you... tonight

Underneath narrow branches
In the twisting thicket of roots
Wading through the darkness
To the eternal sea of nightmare

In the eternal river of chaos
From the depths of nightwinds
In the silent hours of the night
Under the cold hand of the nightmare
Our dreams take shape, dreams of the end
Nightsoul, dreamsoul, forever storming ghost

The nightmare hisses, embraces you in slumber
Cradling calm and peace in the land of the mind
Grey eyes of madness, staring without rest
Grinding jaws gnaw, into the marrow of the soul
