Evighet
Nasheim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Likt Järnskogens lövsalar höljda i svart kläds den ock i dystra färger
Evig död i nattsvärta bunden, här droppar vårt blod från gran
I oändliga svarta floder - nattens blod; hedniska tårar
Det rasslar och tasslar
Prasslar och knastrar
Vinden viner, regnet piskar
Var kväll går solen för evigt ned
Och var natt minner om fornstor norrön tid
Varje natt vaknar skogen i dunkel prakt
I dimhöljda minnen är var natt lik en evighet
Vad dväljs i det fördolda, vad hyser dessa salar?
Där skuggor dansar i skenet av månens blod
Ett bortglömt rike höljt i nattens djupa mörker
Mörker så djupt att intet ljus tränger in
Blott finns detta minne av en förgången tid; ett vet jag som aldrig dör
Evigt är mörkret, vidsträckt slumrar skogen (i evighet)
The lyrics to Nasheim's song "Evighet" convey the image of a forest shrouded in the shadows of the past, wrapped in obscurity and majesty. The forest is described as being dark and gloomy, much like the halls of the Iron Forest, clothed in somber colors. The forest is bound in eternal death and tied to the darkness of the night, where the blood of the trees drip from the branches like pagan tears in an endless, black river.
The eerie sounds of the forest are also described in the lyrics, with the rustling and crackling of branches and leaves, the howling of the wind, and the pelting of rain against the trees. As the sun sets every evening, the forest awakens in all of its dark glory, reminiscent of the ancient Norse times. And every night, the forest is alive with memories, echoing through the misty recollections of time like an eternal existence.
The lyrics hint at the existence of a hidden realm, shrouded in the deepest darkness of the night, with mysterious, shadowy creatures dancing in the light of the moon's blood. This realm is forgotten, lost in the darkness and silence of the forest.
Overall, "Evighet" is a haunting ode to the eternal cycle of life and death within nature, and how memories and remnants of lost civilizations remain embedded in the very fibers of the forest.
