Of Wolf And The Devil

[Ulver Cover]

Ulvens Billeder hafver eengang

Til Hex & Diefvels Stolthed tienet -

Om Gudstroe vidnet, mørck men mæcktig -

Ja med Grenser viide som dend Verden dend là øde

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, dødstrett Jag

.........Oc dend stoore, tridste Eensomhed

Vild øfve giengiærd for dend tabte Kiaerlighed -

I Had!

[English translation:]

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!
