Ulver often uses older languages to create a kind of distance, a formal veil over raw moments.
Here, the archaic Danish frames a domestic horror with an almost liturgical chill.

Saa rød som Viin & Blod

The phrase 'Saa rød som Viin & Blod' hangs over the whole thing. It's not just a color; it's the stain left on a hand, right there by the bed where he stood. That specific image does a lot of the work.
It's a comparison that feels ancient and immediate at once, tying a common luxury to a vital fluid at a deathbed. The plainness of 'so red as' makes it heavier.
The way 'Viin & Blod' is paired, then repeated a line later as a stain 'paa hans Haand,' sticks with you. It's a quiet, persistent detail.

Nu har han ey meer sin Drackt
Saa rød som Viin & Blod
Fro Viin & Blod vaer paa hans Haand
Ved Sængen der han stood
Hos Liiget aff sin elskede
Dend Stund man fandt de to
