Lyrics of Skogens Hämnd - Finntroll

Skogens Hämnd (original)

Skogen lever inga fångar tar
Den tar moder dotter och far
Ingen nåd ingen lämnas kvar
Minsta sår läcker av var
Byfolk försvinna ingen vet vart
Omkring står skogen tyst och svart
Slutet närmas de visa ser
Tecken i skyn prästefolk ber
Dödens lättja ut i skogen lura
Gömma sig bakom varje fura
Eldlika sken över himlabron
Så inleds hämnden av skogens tron
Finns ingen plats att gömma sig
Vart du än går skogen hittar dig
Hela världen ruttnar och svälter
Allt du trott se lögnen välter
Läs nu runor med magiska tal
Spå en ålder av ve och kval
När mörka skuggor nu himmelen rider
Se då nalkas jaktens tid
The Forest’s Revenge
The forest takes no prisoners
It kills mother, daughter and father
No mercy, no one left
Tiniest cut boils with pus
Townsfolk disappear, no one knows where
All around is the forest, quiet and dark
The end is near, the wise say
Signs in the sky, churchgoers pray
Death’s lethargy out in the forest lurks
Hiding behind every tree
Fiery lights over Heaven’s bridge
So begins the vengeance of the forest’s throne
There is nowhere to hide
Wherever you go, the forest will find
The whole world decaying and starving
Everything you believed, see the lies fall flat
Read now, runes with magic numbers
Foresee an age of anguish and pain
See dark shadows riding the sky
Then beckons, the Age of the Hunt

(translation)

The forest lives no prisoners take
It takes mother daughter and father
No mercy no one is left
The smallest wound leaks from where
Villagers disappear no one knows where
Around the forest is quiet and black
The end is approaching the wise see
Signs in the sky clergy pray
The laziness of death out in the woods fool
Hide behind every pine
Fire-like glow over the sky bridge
This is how revenge begins with the throne of the forest
There is no place to hide
Wherever you go the forest will find you
The whole world is rotting and starving
Everything you thought was watching the lie overturn
Now read runes with magic numbers
Predict an age of woe and anguish
When dark shadows now the sky rides
See then the time of the hunt is approaching
The Forest’s Revenge
The forest takes no prisoners
It kills mother, daughter and father
No mercy, no one left
Tiniest cut boils with pus
Townsfolk disappear, no one knows where
All around is the forest, quiet and dark
The end is near, the wise say
Signs in the sky, churchgoers pray
Death’s lethargy out in the forest lurks
Hiding behind every tree
Fiery lights over Heaven’s bridge
So begins the vengeance of the forest’s throne
There is nowhere to hide
Wherever you go, the forest will find
The whole world decaying and starving
Everything you believed, see the lies fall flat
Read now, runes with magic numbers
Foresee an age of anguish and pain
See dark shadows riding the sky
Then beckons, the Age of the Hunt
