Nacht und Nebel
Bilskirnir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im Forst, verhüllt durch tiefen Schleier
Frostwind raunt sein klagend' Lied
Voll Bitternis die Weise spricht
Der Mond blickt über's brache Land
In Schweigen eingetaucht liegt dieser Ort
Kein Laut durchdringt die Totenstill'
Noch liegt die Welt in Finsternis,
Noch trübt der Nebel uns're Sicht
Was bringt des neuen Morgen Rot
Ungewiß scheint alles Sein
Sei gewiß, es kommt die Zeit
Da die, die noch in tiefem Schlummer
Dereinst aus ihrem Schlaf entrissen
Durch Zeit des Unheils neu erweckt
Der Seele klagen, im Inneren tief
Vereint all' die, die vor Dir waren
Im Blut lebt fort, was einmal war
Und hat Bestand für alle Zeit
The lyrics of the song Nacht und Nebel by Bilskirnir depict a lonely wanderer on a dark night, shrouded by a thick veil of mist. The frost wind whispers a mournful song, full of bitterness, as the moon looks down on the barren land. The silence of the place is complete, with no sound or light piercing through the dense fog. The world is still in darkness, and the uncertainty of what the new morning will bring weighs heavily on the singer's mind.
However, the song ends on a note of hope, as it speaks of a time when those who are still in a deep sleep will be awakened by the time of disaster. The souls of the past will join together in deep inner mourning, and their blood will live on and endure for all time. The song speaks to an awakening and recognition of the past that is tied to the present, a cyclical process of renewal and rebirth that is both painful and necessary.
The imagery created in this song is powerful and evocative, capturing the mood of a dark, uncertain night and the sense of connection to the past that defines so much of human experience. The song reminds us of the universality of human longing and the importance of acknowledging the weight of the past as we move forward.

To think that people avoids this masterpiece just because it celebrate ancestral heritage. Best music = unwanted & rejected by the masses
