throne of tragedy - arcturus lyrics

[poem by jørn hernik sværen / translation by kristoffer garm rygg]

hear!
from this day forth
are the heights of horeb broken
and the sea of sulphur
– ice.

and blasphemy!
in heaven`s chambers:
souls had fled their halls
and closed was the book of life.
and behold!
the great, white throne:
black
with sacred blood.

our father –
dead by his own hands:
an epitaph
worthy no king

and so ie everything
a nameless lie.
who, my god,
am i?

man knows me
as lucifer, the serpent of old
the wretched hold my banner high.
your gift
– all life! –
i grant the grave.
yet i am not your death

come carry forth the crown
to your once held throne.
here is where my suffering should cease
– but alas: i am crowned
in grief unheard of!

in this lone monarchy
– without friend or foe –
i greet the morning sun
with strife and a song:
please speak my name!
and leave me not
in the dust of death

i am weighed down
beneath the tragedy crown, –
nameless
and alone,
a fatherless son.
