Inferno
Kampfar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snerrende Gjennom svart
Frådende inn i natt
Blistrende og svart

Lyset fråder
Dødens mørke sol ruller over Himmelen
Jagende og kald
Kald og dundrende gnistrende ild
Og piskende vind
Reiens sorte profeti slår ild

Kaskader av gnister og vind
Trykker seg inn
Lysets Hvite magi

Fra et ulmende rødt
Til piskende ild




Til et flammende
Inferno

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kampfar's song Inferno are composed in Norwegian and depict an apocalyptic scene where the world is consumed by darkness and fire. The first few lines translate to "Whirring through black, Foaming into night, Blazing and black." The imagery suggests a foreboding darkness that is approaching where the blackness engulfs the world. The phrase "Dødens mørke sol ruller over himmelen" (Death's dark sun rolls over the sky) highlights the severity of the situation, where the world has become a wasteland where all sunlight is obliterated by the darkness. The inferno that follows is described as "cold and thundering sparkling fire, and whipping wind", which adds a sense of urgency to the situation.


The second half of the lyrics describe the aftermath of the inferno, starting with "Cascades of sparks and wind, press in, The white magic of light". The transition from the destructive inferno to the peaceful white light suggests a transformative experience where the world has been renewed. The final part of the song conveys a sense of finality, where the fiery inferno culminates in the world's end, described as "From a smouldering red, To whipping flames, To a blazing inferno". Overall, the song presents a bleak, haunting view of the apocalypse where the world is consumed by an all-consuming darkness followed by an inferno and ultimately ends in a blaze of fire.
