I Flammens Favn
Mork Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I det innerste hjertet av ilden
Der sjelene stekes ihjel
Fra hellig hy til aske
Et inferno av smerte
Det brenner! de knekker sammen
Det svir! de slikkes av flammene
Blod blir til tjære, livet det falmer
Og de slukkes av flammene
De renes renselse, de røves av glede
Der håper smeltes og røyken stiger




En het befølelse fra syndenes hånd
Det brer seg over, mørkets isende teppe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mork's song "I Flammens Favn" are dark and intense, describing a scene of intense suffering and purification in the heart of a fire. The first few lines describe the center of the inferno, where souls are burned to death. This is a metaphor for a personal hell or a state of extreme emotional pain. The image of holy shrines turning to ash highlights the idea of something pure and holy being destroyed by this all-consuming force.


The next lines depict the physical pain of the flames, causing those caught in it to break down and be licked by the fire. Blood turns to tar and life fades away until they are completely extinguished. This vivid imagery highlights the idea of being consumed and destroyed by something beyond one's control.


The last section talks about the cleansing power of fire, and how it can strip away all impurities and leave only joy and clarity behind. However, there is also a sense of danger and darkness, as if this purification process is a double-edged sword that can either heal or destroy. The theme of sin and darkness is also present, emphasizing the idea that suffering and purification are necessary to overcome one's personal demons and achieve a state of enlightenment.


Overall, "I Flammens Favn" is a powerful song that speaks to the human experience of suffering, purification, and redemption.

I love the fact that Thomas Erikson knows what's he's doing in the studio. Clear, audible bass in black metal is fucking rare.
