Lyrics
Ich sende wort über lant,
mit lîp und list in mîner hant.
Under dem slôr, under dem glanz,
brennet mîn eid – nieman erbarmet mich!
[Pre-Chorus: Male Vocal (distorted, deep)]
Râben kreis’t um mich im sturm,
ein kreûz von eisen, kalt und durm.
Got swîget, der himel stât still,
und bluot ist sîne zucht und will.
[Chorus: Both Vocals (powerful, layered)]
Trink ûz dem kelch der sünde,
wein ûz dem bluot der trûwen.
Heil sî dem schmertz, der blîbet,
sô lange herzen glüewen.
[Instrumental Break: Iron Pulse]
(Hammered frame drums and distorted sub-bass pulses.
Mechanical noise textures rise.
Metallic hits echo under wind. No vocals.)
[Verse II: Male Vocal (burning tone)]
Ich sach si brinnen, wort umb wort,
ein tempel viel, der eid noch fort.
Dîn ougen klar, wie lêde tief,
ein kuss von dir – ein feghefeur lief.
[Bridge: Female Vocal (whispered)]
„Daz swert, daz Sigurd trûg,
erkenn’t den fluch, den ich gefûg.“
Ein schnitt, ein licht, ein lezter ton –
ich gloub an mîn bluot allein.
[Chorus: Both Vocals (reprise, darker)]
Trink ûz dem kelch der sünde,
wein ûz dem bluot der trûwen.
Heil sî dem schmertz, der blîbet,
sô lange herzen glüewen.
[Instrumental Bridge: Mechanical Descent]
(Tempo slows.
Low distorted bass drone, filtered hurdy-gurdy sustain,
sporadic snare hits, reversed metallic sounds.
No vocals.)
[Outro: Male Vocal (broken, fading)]
Silber wird swarz im heilgen sal,
die glocken sturben – ein lêre mal.
Zwêne schatten knient vor stein,
und nieman mac gesegnet sîn.
