[Bonus Track]

I natten, i morket vi krypa
Pl hosten vi resa ur dimma
I skogens skuggor vi spokar
Vi legger i fejd med Krist

Vlrt riket ar kryptan av grundval

Frln kyrka till kyrka vi dvar

Mordbrand... Dommedag!!!

Vi(som) dolja anletet med lader
Klottrade med svart och vitt
Tovor som piskar genom tystnad
Som vargar bli vi rasande

Vi kanna ingen aangest - vi frykta ingen dod

Vi ar sl elaka och vilda
Svart i hjarta och sjal

SvartMetall!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kromlek's song "Svartmetall" describe a group of individuals who emerge from the darkness of night and mist in order to wage war against Christianity. They exist in the shadows of the forest, haunting the area and seeking to engage in conflict with followers of Christ. Their kingdom is the crypt, which they consider to be the foundation of their power.

The group uses leather to conceal their identities and has scribbled black and white messages throughout the area. The group is fierce, much like a pack of wolves, and is unafraid of death. They are described as being malicious and wild, with dark hearts and souls. The final line of the song, "SvartMetall!" is a declaration of their allegiance to the genre of music that defines them and their rebellion.

The lyrics of "Svartmetall" is a nod to the Scandinavian Black Metal movement that gained notoriety in the 1990s. The lyrics describe the intense opposition of Black Metal to Christianity, which is a common theme within this specific sub-genre of heavy metal music. The song's title is itself a reference to the genre, as "SvartMetall" or "Black Metal" is a term used within the music scene to describe the specific style of music.
