Jag tog mina steg i gyttjans mark.
Tusende korpar i mrker sky.
Ett trsk med ddens skugga.
Dr lag min hmndens
stund.
Inget gift mej drpa.
Inga svekfulla dad.
Spjutet med stjrnors prakt.
Trollet med rymders makt.
Jag sag nu en
grop en strm.
Tog min vrede och lt mossan svlja.
Under fanns en passage en klyfta.
Jag lt den dra mig in.
Mot djupets skte
for jag n en gang.
In i djupet av urtids minne.
Mot gudens djup mot hmndens stund.
Dr grep nu klor av skuggors mara.
Hon
drack mitt blod.
Hon stag min makt.
I eld sa bla.
Jag vred mej loss.
En urgud som nu skickat mej.
Hon klste mitt jag
min innersta eld.
Da tog jag mitt stjrnors spjut.
Med all min kraft jag skar.
Ty sa som det var jag sag.
Urguden och
ormars hxa.
Genom samma blodiga mun de talt.
En ristad under tva runor.
En hmnd jag ej nu fatt.
Men orden ej
frgatt.
Jag blev kung med runors makt.
Genom hmndens och hatets pakt.
Urgudens gava.
Runors makt.
Mot manen i av
steg.
Trolldom fdd igen.
[English translation:]
Under Two Runes
I took my steps in the land of mud
Thousands of
ravens in the dark sky
A swamp in the shadow of Death
There lay my moment of vengeance
No poison kills me
No devious
advice
The spear with pride of stars
The troll with the power of the void
I saw a hole, a stream
Took my wrath and
swallowed the moss
Below was a passage, an opening
I let it draw me in
Towards the deep embrace I traveled once more
Into
the depths of ancient memory
Towards the depth of the God, towards the time of vengeance
There gripping were the claws of shadows'
nightmare
She drank my blood
She stole my power
In fire so blue
I wriggled free
An ancient God who now sent
me
She tore from me my inner fire
Then I took my spear of stars
With all my might I slashed
I saw the truth for what it
was
The ancient God and the witch of serpents
Through the same bloodied mouth they spoke
As one, etched under two runes
No
vengeance came to me
But the words were not forgotten
I was made king with the power of runes
Through the pact of vengeance and
hatred
The gift of the ancient God
The power of runes
Towards the moon I ascended
Magic born again
