Translation of the song lyrics Sov for Satan Mand - Nephew

Sov for Satan Mand (original)

Sov så, sov det væk
Sov, så går det væk
Du står til advarsel og skræk
Det går bare ikk' at slukke
For sin mobil
Sin blodmobil

Sov for satan mand
Sov for satan mand
Sov for satan mand
Sov for satan mand

Vågn så, vågn nu op
Vågn så, og stå op
For dine flag
Nej det går bare ikk' at stoppe
Og bare stå af
Du ka' ikk' bare stå af

Sov for satan mand (vi venter på dig)
Sov for satan mand (vi stoler på dig)
Sov for satan mand (vi regner med dig)
Sov for satan mand

Vi venter på dig
Vi stoler på dig
Vi regner med dig

Sov for satan mand
Sov for satan mand

Sov for Satan Mand (translation)

Sleep now, let sleep wash the wound away,
Sleep—let darkness bear your grief astray.
You stand, a beacon warning ships from wreck,
Yet the fire inside refuses to be quenched,
Your hand clings still to the cold-lit shell—
Your blood-machine, your fevered cell.

Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, sleep, my friend,
Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, still descend,
Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, hush the storm,
Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, night grows warm.

Rise now, let dawn’s lash undo your trance,
Rise, and from the gray sheets, take your stance.
For banners flare within your veins, ablaze,
No, the river won’t be dammed, its endless craze,
And you cannot simply turn away,
No, you cannot simply turn away.

Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, sleep (we keep our silent watch for you),
Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, sleep (our trust in you is true),
Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, sleep (the sum of hopes, we count on you),
Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, sleep—

We keep our silent watch for you,
Our trust in you is true,
The sum of hopes, we count on you,

Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, sleep—
Sleep, for Heaven’s rebel, sleep—
