Na dagulkaur dig.

Afar bolvag roth.

Hungrod, hungrod hu-na.

Vatog, vatog hu-na

Haldup, kapul og dagri
Hungrod ta-hum.

Vesall draut,
Dagulkaur nagithas.
Nagraufom, zajar!

Overall Meaning

Interpretation:

Horna's "Ghas Inras" is a dark and eerie song with lyrics that are difficult to decipher. The lullaby-like melody and the haunting vocals of the singer create an atmosphere of despair and confusion. The song begins with the lines "Blograugz fund, Na dagulkaur dig" which signify a powerful force or entity that is about to take control of the situation.

The next line "Ghash inras, Afar bolvag roth" refers to some kind of ritualistic sacrifice that is about to take place. The use of these mystical and cryptic phrases creates an ominous and ominous feeling throughout the song. The repetition of the phrases "Hungrod, hungrod hu-na, Vatog, vatog hu-na" further adds to the haunting aura of the song.

As the song progresses, the lyrics focus on the depiction of a dark and cursed place where evil forces rule the environment. Lines like "Zahuv na mos, Bri-sahat laga" and "Dagulkaur nagithas, Nagraufom, zajar!" suggest a realm of darkness, pain, and suffering. The song builds up to a climactic finish, leaving the listener with a sense of dread and despair.
