"Nio Dagar, Nio Nätter"

[Swedish:]

Glimrande ögon i mörkret
Likt bergskristall
Bergets dånande symfoni
Väller ur dess gap

Naglar som river hud
Borrar sig ned
Upplyft i köttet
Livets vatten faller

Ett skimmer utav smärta
Visar dess anlete
Vacker men fasansfull:
Bergets drottning

Ser in i hennes ögon
Ljuset fyller mitt sinne
En strid ström av bilder
Beslöjar världen

Blodbestänkt sten
Fränders rop
Blodvingade skepnader
Under nattens öga

Drivna utav hunger
Vedergällning
Offer för seger
Ulvhednar, vargatid

Nio dagar, nio nätter
I marans grepp
Nio dagar, nio nätter
Ett offer för liv
Nio dagar, nio nätter
Huldrans vridna dans
Nio dagar, nio nätter
En gåva från griften

Etter i en strid ström
Längs väggarna
Ormars ögon glöder i djupen
Svekets blick i gapande hål

En stinkande andedräkt
Ur tandlösa gap
Från ormtungors mun
Förgiftets tal
Ett tordön väcker mina sinnen
Allt är åter svart
Borta är tunneln
Som tog mig hit

Bergatagen i djupet
Ingen väg ut
Bunden och fångad
Är detta mitt slut?

[English translation:]

Glittering eyes in the dark
Like rock-crystal
The rumbling symphony of the mountain
Wells from its gap

Nails that tear skin
Burrow down
Uplifted in the flesh
The water of life flows

A shimmer of pain
Shows its face
Beautiful but terrible
The Queen of the mountain

Look into her eyes
The light fills my mind
A swift torrent of images
Veils the world

Blood sputtered stone
Cries of kin
Blood-winged phantoms
Under the eye of the night

Compelled by hunger
Retaliation
Sacrifice for victory
Ulfhednar, the time of the wolf

Nine days, nine nights
In the grip of the nightmare
Nine days, nine nights
A sacrifice for life
The twisted dance of the Huldra
Nine days, nine nights
A gift from the grave

Venom in a swift flow
Along the walls
Eyes of serpents glow in the depths
The gaze of betrayal in the gaping hole

A stinking breath
From toothless gaps
From the tongues of serpent mouths
Venomous speech...

A thunder awakes my senses
All is once more black
Gone is the tunnel
That brought me here

Spirited away into the deep
No way out
Bound and captive
Is this my ending...
