Translation of the song lyrics Dignity - Opeth

Dignity (original)

«Vid ett årsskifte så upplever många en känsla av vemod
Vid tanke på det som aldrig mer återkommer
För andra är det ett ögonblick av förväntan inför möjligheten att erövra det Nya
Andra åter känner oro inför en förändring som innebär ovisshet och kanske
försämring

Prince of lies is on his knee
Holy rites, spreading the disease

Foul agenda corrupt in secrecy
Oh no, no, no, no, no
One false prayer wielding blasphemy
Price the spirit as a wanted property
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Congratulations to the five men of affairs
There was a purpose with this life
Insinuations if she holds anything dear
Then it motivates submission in his lair
He is waiting for darkness, opens the door, he’s slithering
He is waiting for darkness, opens the door, he’s slithering
He is waiting for darkness, opens the door, he’s slithering

Dignity (translation)

Considering what will never happen again
For others, it is a moment of anticipation for the opportunity to conquer the New
Others again feel anxious about a change that involves uncertainty and perhaps
deterioration
All these moods are individually explained
Someone said the other day that we
Living In the time of the great upheaval… »
Prince of lies is on his knee
Holy rites, spreading the disease
By his side a youthful girl
Wedlocked force unfurls
She’s young
Far too young
Far too young
Can we dictate a life with dignity?
Foul agenda corrupt in secrecy
Oh no, no, no, no, no
One false prayer wielding blasphemy
Price the spirit as a wanted property
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Congratulations to the five men of affairs
There was a purpose with this life
Insinuations if she holds anything dear
Then it motivates submission in his lair
He's waiting for darkness, opens the door, he's slithering
He's waiting for darkness, opens the door, he's slithering
He's waiting for darkness, opens the door, he's slithering
