Lyrics

Ulvens billeder hafver eengang
Til hex & diefvels stolthed tienet -
Om gudstroe vidnet, mèrck men m¦cktig -
Ja med grenser viide som dend verden dend l  ède

Satan skabede det som for deris bilk
Blifver ofverjordisk - han er slik
Een mand I ulveham

Self vinden er een tiener I hans haand
Oc eevigheden - hans gaadefulde aand

Paa ham een stoorhed som een krone pan fordum bar
Han hungrer giennem eevighed -
Sinnker om han grim & sort
Een tragoedie kund for dend som veed

Han tager sig frem baade nat & dag
I et eevig, dèdstrett jag

...Oc dend stoore, tridste eensomhed
Vild èfve giengi¦rd for dend tabte kiaerlighed -
I had!

The images of wolf once served
The pride of witch and devil -
Witnessed a dark, yet mightie faith -
With boundaries wide as the world it layd waste

Satan did create
What to their eyne celestial is -
And so he is
A man in wolfskin clad

To his hands, e'en the wind is servant
And eternitie - his enigmatick spirit

Around him a majestie
Like pan his crowne of olde
He hungers through eternitie -
Immersed in a tragedie dark and colde
Knowne onlie to the initiated

Through day and night he moves
In an eternall, wearie chase

...And this solitude so greate and sad
Will vengeance seek for love long lost
Through hatred!
