Translation of the song lyrics Under Två Runor - Finntroll

Under Två Runor (original)

Jag tog mina steg i gyttjans mark
Tusende korpar i mörker sky
Ett träsk med dödens skugga
Där lag min hämndens stund
Inget gift mej dräpa
Inga svekfulla dad
Spjutet med stjärnors prakt
Trollet med rymders makt
Jag sag nu en grop en ström
Tog min vrede och lät mossan svälja
Under fanns en passage en klyfta
Jag lät den dra mig in
Mot djupets sköte for jag än en gang
In i djupet av urtids minne
Mot gudens djup mot hämndens stund
Där grep nu klor av skuggors mara
Hon drack mitt blod
Hon stag min makt
I eld sa bla
Jag vred mej loss
En urgud som nu skickat mej
Hon klöste mitt jag min innersta eld
Da tog jag mitt stjärnors spjut
Med all min kraft jag skar
Ty sa som det var jag sag
Urguden och ormars häxa
Genom samma blodiga mun de talt
En ristad under tva runor
En hämnd jag ej nu fatt
Men orden ej förgatt
Jag blev kung med runors makt
Genom hämndens och hatets pakt
Urgudens gava
Runors makt
Mot manen i av steg
Trolldom född igen
I took my steps in the land of mud
Thousands of ravens in the dark sky
A swamp in the shadow of Death
There lay my moment of vengeance
No poison kills me
No devious advice
The spear with pride of stars
The troll with the power of the void
I saw a hole, a stream
Took my wrath and swallowed the moss
Below was a passage, an opening
I let it draw me in
Towards the deep embrace I traveled once more
Into the depths of ancient memory
Towards the depth of the God, towards the time of vengeance
There gripping were the claws of shadows' nightmare
She drank my blood
She stole my power
In fire so blue
I wriggled free
An ancient God who now sent me
She tore from me my inner fire
Then I took my spear of stars
With all my might I slashed
I saw the truth for what it was
The ancient God and the witch of serpents
Through the same bloodied mouth they spoke
As one, etched under two runes
No vengeance came to me
But the words were not forgotten
I was made king with the power of runes
Through the pact of vengeance and hatred
The gift of the ancient God
The power of runes
Towards the moon I ascended
Magic born again

(translation)

I took my steps in the mud's ground
Thousands of ravens in dark sky
A swamp with the shadow of death
There lay my moment of revenge
Nothing poisoned me killing
No treacherous dad
The spear with the splendor of the stars
The troll with the power of space
I now saw a pit a stream
Took my anger and let the moss swallow
Below was a passage a gorge
I let it pull me in
Against the bosom of the deep I went once more
Into the depths of ancient memory
Towards the depths of God against the moment of revenge
There now claws of the mara of shadows seized
She drank my blood
She staged my power
I eld sa blah
I writhed
An ancient god who has now sent me
She clung to my self my innermost fire
Then I took my star's spear
With all my might I cut
For said as it was I saw
The witch of the primordial god and serpents
Through the same bloody mouth they spoke
A carved under two runes
A revenge I did not get now
But the words not forgotten
I became king with the power of runes
Through the covenant of revenge and hatred
The gift of God
Runor's power
Towards the man in of steps
Sorcery born again
I took my steps in the land of mud
Thousands of ravens in the dark sky
A swamp in the shadow of Death
There lay my moment of vengeance
No poison kills me
No devious advice
The spear with pride of stars
The troll with the power of the void
I saw a hole, a stream
Took my wrath and swallowed the moss
Below was a passage, an opening
I let it draw me in
Towards the deep embrace I traveled once more
Into the depths of ancient memory
Towards the depth of the God, towards the time of vengeance
There gripping were the claws of shadows' nightmare
She drank my blood
She stole my power
In fire so blue
I wriggled free
An ancient God who now sent me
She tore from me my inner fire
Then I took my spear of stars
With all my might I slashed
I saw the truth for what it was
The ancient God and the witch of serpents
Through the same bloodied mouth they spoke
As one, etched under two runes
No vengeance came to me
But the words were not forgotten
I was made king with the power of runes
Through the pact of vengeance and hatred
The gift of the ancient God
The power of runes
Towards the moon I ascended
Magic born again
