Night
Ahriman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Átok legyen rajtad
Fekete rossz átok
Szíved keserûbb legyen
Mint fájdalmat okozó másod
Elmédben a kígyó lakassa jól magát
A lét ne legyen számodra
Csak örök üres homály"

"Let curse be on thee
Black, malicious curse
Let thy heart be more bitter
Then thy harming self
Let the serpent be fed in your mind
Let not thy being he else
Than twilight eternal and void..."

The sky has opened for the rays of the torches
Four signs have awakened the nature from the sleep
Coldness have walked through the stars
By dead leaves we have signed the past

The sky
Clear and calm

Carving wrath
And desolation now
