Translation of the song lyrics Mørkets Monolitter - Mortem

Mørkets Monolitter (original)

Stille vandrer vi under skyggetak
Lar oss drukne i skumringens drakt
Med nakne grener mot månen skjør
Gripende skygger med sprikender klør
Ranke spyd fra mørkets oven
Stolt og spent av jordens styrke
I skyggens dyp-dunkel og rå
Gamlegrå strekker seg nå
I mørket der, en hviskende sang
Sløret glir vi inn, in ingenmannsland
Der svøpende tanker, atter vil komme
Falmende lys, når dagen er omme
Fra lys til skumringens land
I skyggens dypsørgmodig klang
Langsomt kveles og slukkes den rått
Sort den dekker med sin kappe
Beksvart lukker seg om
Mørkets kyss, kun stillhetens flom
Blant skogens ruvende, monolitter
Nattens kalde hand, der smitter

Mørkets Monolitter (translation)

Quietly we walk under shady roofs
Let us drown in the costume of dusk
With bare branches against the moon fragile
Gripping shadows with split claws
Straight spears from the top of darkness
Proud and excited by the strength of the earth
In the deep-dark and raw of the shadow
Old gray is now extending
In the dark there, a whispering song
We slip in the veil, into no man's land
There sweeping thoughts, will come again
Fading light when the day is over
From light to the land of twilight
In the deep mournful tone of the shadow
Slowly suffocate and extinguish it raw
Black it covers with its mantle
Answered closes
The kiss of darkness, only the flood of silence
Among the towering monoliths of the forest
The cold hand of the night that is contagious
