The Day Burzum Killed Mayhem
Nargaroth Lyrics

1993
The year when something terrible happened

a year of misery?
Asking if 1993 was a miserable year

Darkness fills the sky.
The world was filled with darkness due to the incident

I hear the warriors cry.
People were saddened by the event

The legend tells a story
A tale has been passed down through generations

From a Viking from the north,
The story is about a warrior from the north

Who met a Death Warrior
The warrior encountered someone who was willing to kill

Black Metal was never really the same.
The incident had a significant impact on the genre of Black Metal music

The legend call it murder
The story involves a murder

And the Viking had survived.
The warrior from the north was able to survive

But the eyes of the Death Warrior
The person who killed the other was unable to see the sun again

Never saw again the sun upon the sky.
The killer was possibly executed or imprisoned for life

And the quintessence:
The main takeaway from the story is that

Everyone recognized war,
People acknowledged that a war was happening within Black Metal

That Black Metal isn't just
Black Metal isn't merely

Entertainment anymore.
a form of entertainment anymore

I can still remember
The artist can still recall

My emotions so confused.
The singer was feeling mixed emotions

My soul was seeking answers.
The singer was searching for answers

No knife I let unused.
The artist was willing to use violence if necessary

So many questions
The artist had many unanswered questions

I had to satisfy.
The artist needed to find answers to their questions

My soul was under torture,
The singer was going through a difficult time

But I knew my way was right
The artist was confident in their convictions

I see a cemetery fall asleep under fog
A metaphorical description of the end of an era in Black Metal

And I know the old days will never come
The old days of Black Metal will never return after the incident

Again.

1993, this year of misery was the knife
The year had a negative impact on Black Metal

which split the Black Metal scene apart.
The incident caused a divide within the Black Metal community

Since that mighty day Black metal split his Way,
The incident was a turning point in the history of Black Metal

And the unity was never the same again.
The community was never able to come together in the same way again

Lies, rumors and hate. Moneymaking, sadness
Negative emotions were created that still have an impact on Black Metal today

And shame
There was a sense of shame that came along with the incident

And all this by, the Day as Burzum Killed Mayhem.
The incident is referred to by this title

Remember this day! Remember this way!
The singer is urging others to remember the incident

That you never betray, what here leads you
To never betray what you believe in

On your way!

And I never will forget
The singer will never forget

The day as this both warriors met.
The day of the incident is being referred to as a battle between two warriors

The blood was hot the moon was red
A descriptive metaphor of the incident

And Black Metal created his own grave.
The incident had a negative impact on Black Metal

And I dream from days before
The singer misses the old days of Black Metal

Black Metal Maniacs, no whore,
The singer is referencing the sense of purity that existed in the early days of Black Metal

In the legions of war
The Black Metal community was united

The demons in our heads the law.
Reference to the inner demons that motivate Black Metal artists

So I summon you once again,
The artist is calling upon others to join them

We should never forget the pain
The singer is urging others to remember the incident

From older days in our veins
The emotions from the incident still linger

We now cut of that it can flow like rain.
To move forward and let go of the negative emotions

Arrghh, this was the legend from
An exclamation, followed by a reference to the story

The Day as Burzum killed Mayhem.
The title of the story
