Translation of the song lyrics IntroVertigo - Koldbrann

IntroVertigo (original)

En lukket sirkel…
Kabinett av innestengte redsler
Eutanasiens regime bak jernslåtte dører
Uten fornemmelse for perspektiv og retning
Altseende fasetter merker mine skritt
Når Jernnatten senker seg over
Og alle veier fører til tomrom
Når hver døde vinkel skjuler en fiende
Og de lammede skarer griper til vanmakt
Fra bevegerens skueplass
Gjort til gjenstand
For sadistisk, kjølig betraktning
Skrinne sjeler, den iscenesatte virkelighet
På vent for det siste teppefall
Livets diametrale motsats
Står for meg klart, som i en åpenbaring
Sprunget ut fra en indre singularitet
Morderisk og Briljant
Når stengslene brytes, og hånden tar over viljen
Og kniven kjører seg fast i ditt liv
Når jeg ser Dødskampen i dine øyne
Er vi ikke lenger fremmede, du og jeg
English
A closed circle…
Cabinet of confined fears
Regime of Euthanasia behind iron barred doors
Without sense for perspective and direction
All-seing facets are tracing my steps
When the Iron Night falls over
And all roads lead to void
When each dead angle conceals an enemy
And the paralysed flocks grasp for despair
From the prime mover’s theatre
Subjected to
Sadistic, cold analysis
Shallow souls, the staged reality
On hold till the final curtain falls
The diametrical opposite of life
Stands clear to me, as in a revelation
Sprung out from an inner singularity
Murderous and Brilliant
When the barricades breach
As the hand takes over the will
And the knife jams into your life
When I see the Death Struggle in your eyes
Are we no longer strangers, you and I

IntroVertigo (translation)

A closed circle…
Cabinet of trapped horrors
The euthanasia regime behind iron-clad doors
Without a sense of perspective and direction
All-seeing facets mark my steps
When Iron Night sinks over
And all roads lead to emptiness
When each dead angle hides an enemy
And the paralyzed crowds resort to powerlessness
From the mover's scene
Made the subject
For sadistic, cool consideration
Shrine souls, the staged reality
Waiting for the last carpet fall
The diametrical opposite of life
Stands clear to me, as in a revelation
Jumped from an inner singularity
Murderous and Brilliant
When the fences are broken and the hand takes over the will
And the knife gets stuck in your life
When I see the Battle of Death in your eyes
Are we no longer strangers, you and I.
