arcturus - la masquerade infernale lyrics

Loading...

[based on the poem “tragediens trone” by john henrik svaren]
[is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to kristoffer garm rygg]

hear!
from this day forth
are the heights of h-r-b broken
and the sea of sulphur-ice.

and blasphemy!
in heaven’s chambers:
souls had fled their halls
and closed was the book of life.
and behold!
the great, white throne:
black
with sacred blood

our father –
dead by his own hands:
an epitaph
worthy no king.

and so is everything
a nameless lie.
who, my god,
am i?

man knows me
as lucifer, the serpent of old.
the wretched hold my banner high.
your gift
– all life! –
i grant a grave
yet i am not your death.

come carry forth the crown
to your once held throne.
here is where my suffering should cease
– but alas; i am crowned
in grief unheard of!

in this lone monarchy
– without a friend of foe –
i greet the mourning sun
with strife and a song:
please speak my name!
and leave me not
in the dust of death.

i am weighed down
beneath the tragedy crown, –
nameless,
and alone,
a fatherless son.

[jhs 1996]
