INTRODUCTION
Nargaroth Lyrics

1993
This year symbolizes a period of sadness and turmoil.

A year of misery?
Does this year represent misery?

Darkness fills the sky.
The atmosphere is bleak and desolate.

I hear the warriors cry.
The people are grieving and lamenting.

The legend tells a story
There is a tale that speaks of.

From a Viking from the north,
A Scandinavian man from the north.

Who met a Death Warrior
Encountered a personification of death.

Black Metal was never really the same.
The subgenre of Black Metal suffered a notable shift.

The legend call it murder
The story depicts the event as a murder.

And the Viking had survived.
The Scandinavian man managed to survive.

But the eyes of the Death Warrior
However, the personification of death lost his sight.

Never saw again the sun upon the sky.
And never saw the light of day again.

And the quintessence:
And the essential point is that.

Everyone recognized war,
People acknowledged the presence of war.

That Black Metal isn't just
Black Metal is not merely about.

Entertainment anymore.
Providing amusement any longer.

I can still remember
I am still able to recollect.

My emotions so confused.
My feelings were perplexed.

My soul was seeking answers.
I was searching for answers within myself.

No knife I let unused.
I made sure not to waste any opportunities.

So many questions
So many inquiries.

I had to satisfy.
That I needed to address.

My soul was under torture,
My being was in agony.

But I knew my way was right
However, I was confident that my path was correct.

I see a cemetery fall asleep under fog
I perceive an entombment ground engulfed by mist.

And I know the old days will never come
And I am aware that the past will never return.

Again.
Ever again.

1993, this year of misery was the knife
This year of grief was the catalyst.

Which split the Black Metal scene apart.
That caused the division of the Black Metal scene.

Since that mighty day Black metal split his Way,
From that day on, Black Metal pursued its way.

And the unity was never the same again.
And the solidarity was never identical again.

Lies, rumors, and hate. Moneymaking, sadness
Untruths, hearsay, and animosity. Making money, depression.

And shame
And disgrace.

And all this by, the Day as Burzum Killed Mayhem.
All of this occurred on the day that Burzum killed Mayhem.

Remember this day! Remember this way!
Recall this day! Recollect this approach!

That you never betray, what here leads you
That you never betray what leads you here.

On your way!
On your path!

And I never will forget
And I will never forget.

The day as this both warriors met.
The day that these two warriors crossed paths.

The blood was hot the moon was red
The bloodshed was intense, and the situation was ominous.

And Black Metal created his own grave.
And Black Metal dug its own grave.

And I dream from days before
And I envision the days of yore.

Black Metal Maniacs, no whore,
Black Metal enthusiasts, not prostitutes,

In the legions of war
In the ranks of war.

The demons in our heads the law.
The demons inside our minds are the rule.

So I summon you once again,
So I request of you once more,

We should never forget the pain
That we should always remember the agony

From older days in our veins
Embedded in our memories from times past.

We now cut of that it can flow like rain.
That we sever ties so it can gush freely like a downpour.

Arrghh, this was the legend from
Arrghh, this was the fable of.

The Day as Burzum killed Mayhem
The day that Burzum killed Mayhem.
