Kampfar Lyrics

Reptiles speak
The presence of danger or malevolent forces is felt through the silence of the night, as if the reptilian underworld is communicating some ominous message.

Between sunset and sunrise
This ominous message is heard in the quiet of the night, just before dawn.

In the last fragment of life
In the final stages of existence, a person can sense that something wicked is coming for them.

You can feel them crawl
The creeping sensation of a reptile crawling up one's spine is felt as dread overtakes the mind.

You can hear men fall
The sounds of death and defeat are heard in the stillness of the night, as if a great battle has already occurred.

Devilment, the opposite of light
The forces at work here are diabolical and anti-divine, the antithesis of all that is good and holy.

The moon
The lunar light illuminates the dark deeds and sinister intentions of the serpents.

The mist
The obscuring fog that rolls in from the sea provides cover for the creatures of the night and their evil deeds.

The pure
The original, untainted nature of the world contrasts sharply with the corruption and decay wrought by the serpents.

The phenomenon
The unnatural, surreal world that arises from the serpents and their dark power is inexplicable and beyond comprehension.

The servants
The human followers of the serpents are mere tools or slaves to their power and influence.

The coven tongues
The mystic or obscure language used by the serpents or their acolytes, inscrutable to outsiders.

It will crush the night sky
The terrible power of the serpents will bring down even the heavens themselves.

It will eat the light
The darkness and insatiable evil of the serpents will consume all that is good and true.

It will speak snakes
The diabolic forces of the serpents will communicate through sinister and incomprehensible means.

While they dance among rapid tails
The serpents themselves writhe and twist in ecstasy as they unleash their power and destruction.

The tide soaking their graves
The natural forces of the sea will bring an end to the serpents and their followers, casting their remains into the ocean.

As the rowers keep on rowing
The human pawns that carry out the orders of the serpents continue their work without questioning their purpose or logic.

Fears persist
The existential dread and terror brought on by the serpents and their power remains a constant presence in the world.

Returning hate for hate
The cycle of violence and retribution continues, with those affected by the darkness and fear seeking to strike back against their oppressors.

The serpents
The prime movers and malevolent entities that drive the darkness and evil in the world.

As they keep on rowing
The human followers of the serpents that carry out their will with blind obedience and complete submission.

With the serpents licking flames
The infernal power of the serpents is burning hot, spreading like wildfire among the living and the dead.

In carnal lust
The depraved and corrupted nature of the serpents and their followers leads them down a path of unchecked desire and hedonism.

The phenomenon is growing
The diabolical influence of the serpents and their power is spreading like a contagious disease, infecting even the most innocent souls.

From the purest carnal lust
Even the most pristine and noble human desires have been warped and distorted by the corruption and evil unleashed by the serpents.

In the sea of death
The world has become a morass of decay and rot, consumed by the malignant power of the serpents.
