ulver - wolf & the moon lyrics

i dende n tters nat
der hun hafvde bes ttende gled,
bar bleege stjerner i sit skied,
hylder han hende med een sang

dende lidenskabens hymne
vidner om det baand
som nu inv lder
natten in hand aand

nyr stjernerne varsler grye
mod to-hornet selvmaanenye
oc soelen stiiger frem
lig een flamme, ski r & reen
som fra faedres offerbaal -

ustyrlig er da hans sind!
ski nk kam saa nyt lius aff dit skin,
du, satans soel,

saa han kand jage tol bestandighed
regi re, i kold,
ufattbar mayestet

possesivelie she upon him shone
adorned with dimme stars
in this night of nights
he hailes her with a song

this hymne of passion
reminding of the bond
between him and the night
as they melt into one

when dawn draws near
and the sunne ascendes
like a flame bright & pure
from the bonfires of heretics

ecstatick, then, his mind!
grant him thus light anew,
thou, sunne of satan

so that he shall reigne
through infinite
in colde, inconceivable majestie!
