Finntroll - Ur Djupet

Frbannad och glmd.
Evigheten, ensamheten.
Jag tog mina steg.
Sista men frsta.

Tusen och trettio steg.
Mot jordkrnans brinnande valv.
Den skalv, den skalv.

D visade sig, modern i djupet.
S dold s hemlig.
Om henne jag talt ej mer.
Ty om moderns visdom sjunga.
Ej en levande sjl.

Ur vad jag trott.
Min undergng bliva, jag steg och knde kyla.
Ett ljus s lngtat.
Ett ljus s ljuvt.

Jag sprang ner en lg.
Under mnens skra.
Drack dess livssaft s het.
Som djupjordens gld.
Den brnde mitt svalg.

Ilskan klste och mitt hjrta brann.
Hmndens tid kommit.

Ty blod fr blod.
Var hmdens hamn.
D ristade jag mitt skinn.
Med urgudens namn.
Med urgudens namn.

Jag sprang ner en lg.
Under mnens skra.
Drack dess livssaft s het.
Som djupjordens gld.
Den brnde mitt svalg.

==English Translation==

Cursed and forgotten.
The eternity, the solitude.
I took my steps.
The last but the first.

A thousand and thirty steps.
Toward the burning vault of the Earth's core.
It trembled, it trembled.

Then she showed herself, the mother in the depth.
So hidden so secret.
About her I spoke no more.
For about the wisdom of the mother sings.
Not a living soul.

From what I had believed.
My doom comes, I stepped and felt a cold.
A light so longed-for.
A light so sweet.

I ran down an elk.
Under the crescent of the moon.
Drank its life juice so hot.
Like the heat of the deep earth.
It burned my throat.

Rage tore and my heart burned.
The time of vengeance had come.

For blood for blood.
Was the vengeance's shape.
Then I carved my skin.
With the name of the primordial god.
With the name of the primordial god.

I ran down an elk.
Under the crescent of the moon.
Drank its life juice so hot.
Like the heat of the deep earth.
It burned my throat.
