Orgia
Misþyrming Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sem svanir móti stormi.
Þau standa í þeirri trú
Að þau hafi eitthvað val,
Hahahaha...
Hann er vel varinn
Handan hvítra múrveggja.
Haldið þið virkilega að sá með völdin:
Drottinn yðar
Gefi ykkur val?
Hans ríki þrífst á stríði
Og þegnar hans þjóna því blíðir.
Hvers vegna að hafna hans veldi
Þegar þrældómur vor er hulinn
Með draumum í vöku?
Nú ákalla þau dýrið dátt
Og æða áfram dreymin.
Til lofts þau lyfta veigum hátt
Og dansa glatt í algleymi.
Hans ríki þrífst á óreiðu
Og þegnar hans upphefja það glaðir.
Hvers vegna að efast hans verk
Þegar hvert högg svipunnar
Er sem blíð gola á kinn?
The lyrics to Misþyrming's song Orgia are written in Icelandic language and describe a scene of a battle where the herd fights for their lives like swans in the storm. They stand with the faith that they have some power, and the singer laughs sarcastically at this notion. The next lines express a doubt in the claim that their lord or god protects them, asking if they really believe that he has any power. The singer acknowledges that the ruler's power thrives on war, and his subjects serve him gladly. The song then asks why they should reject his rule when their slavery is hidden behind the dreams they have.
The following verses describe the people invoking a deity and continuing their revelry, lifting their voices high and dancing happily in the darkness. While the ruler's power thrives on chaos, his subjects praise him joyfully. The song asks again, why anyone should doubt the effectiveness of his actions when every strike of the whip is like a gentle kiss on the cheek.
Overall, the lyrics to Orgia depict a dystopian world where the powerful thrive on war and chaos while the masses are happy to be enslaved and oppressed. The song raises questions about the nature of faith, power, and control and encourages the listener to reflect on their own beliefs and values.

Hjörðin berst fyrir lífi sínu

Like swans against a storm.
Þau standa í þeirri trú
They stand in that faith
Að þau hafi eitthvað val,
That they have some choice,
Hann er vel varinn
He is well-protected
Handan hvítra múrveggja.
Beyond white walls.
Haldið þið virkilega að sá með völdin:
Do you really think that he, with the power,
Drottinn yðar
Your Lord
Gefi ykkur val?
Gives you a choice?
Hans ríki þrífst á stríði
His kingdom thrives on war
Og þegnar hans þjóna því blíðir.
And his subjects gladly serve him.
Hvers vegna að hafna hans veldi
Why reject his rule
Þegar þrældómur vor er hulinn
When our slavery is concealed
Með draumum í vöku?
With dreams awake?
Nú ákalla þau dýrið dátt
Now they invoke the animal lust
Og æða áfram dreymin.
And they continue to indulge in their dreams
Til lofts þau lyfta veigum hátt
They lift their arms high towards the sky
Og dansa glatt í algleymi.
And dance happily in oblivion.
Hans ríki þrífst á óreiðu
His kingdom thrives on chaos
Og þegnar hans upphefja það glaðir.
And his subjects exalt in it.
Hvers vegna að efast hans verk
Why doubt his work
Þegar hvert högg svipunnar
When each of his events
Er sem blíð gola á kinn?
Is like a gentle touch on the cheek?
