Skogsgriftens Rike
Sorhin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Æver landet af en svunnen tid
En skugga kastas af vindarna
Genom skogens djup den fara
MÅnljuset glimrar mellan trÄden
Skenet sÅ starkt det strÅla
DÄr livet tar farvÄl, fÆrenas helvetet
En fÄrd genom livlÆsa vidder
Ljuset Är passerat och slÄckt
Kistan i jorden den ligga
Kroppen Är lÄmnad och begravd
DÆdens lyster, omsluter
Min vÄg att vandra
Ledd af mÆrkret, jag slutligen
Fann min tid och plats
DÄr slutet nalkas, fÆrenas helvetet
DÄr Æppnas dÆdens port framfÆr mig
DÄr fÆrblir mÆrkret evigt inom mig
Och skogens grav min sjÄl befriar
The lyrics to Sorhin's song Skogsgriftens Rike paint a hauntingly atmospheric picture of a land frozen in time, where a shadow is cast by the winds that blow through the deep forest. The moonlight shines through the trees, illuminating the landscape with an eerie intensity. The lyrics suggest that this is a place where life bids farewell and the gates to hell open upon the darkened paths of the night. The journey through this lifeless wilderness is described as one where the light has been extinguished, and the soul is left to wander in the darkness, led by the darkness itself. The final lines of the song speak to the ultimate end of this journey, where death's door opens before the singer, and the darkness becomes an eternal companion.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of foreboding and a deep connection to nature and the passing of time. They suggest a place where darkness reigns and the natural world is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. The imagery of death and the afterlife gives the song a gravitas that only adds to its hauntingly beautiful melody and atmospheric appeal.

Don't worry, there are so many forgotten masterpieces from the nineties - it's almost impossible to know them all.

Sorhin was underground even in their homeland(Sverige) in their early records. I'saw' them in Immortal mag#3 and ordered a compilation tape with them, Unpure, Algaion, Mork Gryning..
