Naa er hele livet paa ravnens bord
Djevel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Helvedes dypt er vondskapen
Hoerer du ravnen som skriger efter aadsel
Den hungrer paa det som foer levde
Det gaar et doedningetog over myren og de oede viddene
De som gaar levde i gaar
Naa er hele livet paa ravnens bord
Dette dystre fulldekkede doedsbord
Om natten er skrig og hyl

Om dagen er jammer och frykt
Ved den vakre lyse port var livet og gleden
Men helvedes dypt er vondskapen
Naa er hele livet paa ravnens bord
Dette dystre og fuldekkede doedsbord

Helvedes dypt er vondskapen
Den lyse port er lukket og laast

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Djevel's song "Naa er hele livet paa ravnens bord" depict a dark and macabre scene. The opening lines suggest a deep evilness residing in hell, and the listener is invited to hear the raven crying out for carrion, symbolizing the hunger for what was once alive. The imagery continues with the mention of a death train crossing the marsh and desolate wilderness, where those who were once alive yesterday now find their entire lives on the raven's table, a grim and fully covered death feast.

The atmosphere described in the lyrics is haunting and terrifying. During the night, there are screams and howls, while in the day, there is lamentation and fear. The bright and joyful life that once existed near the beautiful and illuminated gate has been replaced by the deep wickedness of hell. The final lines speak of the closed and locked gate, suggesting that there is no escape from this harrowing reality.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of despair and hopelessness, painting a picture of a world consumed by darkness and suffering.
