Lyrics

1993 a year of misery?

Reflecting on 1993 as a year of misery

Darkness fills the sky

Describing a dark and ominous sky

I hear the warriors cry

Hearing the cries of warriors

The legend tells a story

A story is told through legend

From a Viking from the north

Referring to a Viking from the north

Who met a Death Warrior

The Viking encounters a Death Warrior

Black Metal was never really the same

Stating that Black Metal changed after this encounter

The legend call it murder

The legend refers to the event as murder

And the Viking had survived

The Viking survives the encounter

But the eyes of the Death Warrior

The Death Warrior loses sight of the sun

Never saw again the sun upon the sky

Emphasizing the impact of the encounter

And the quintessence:

Introducing the quintessence or essential nature

Everyone recognized war

Everyone recognizes the presence of war

That Black Metal isn't just

Black Metal is more than entertainment

Entertainment anymore i can still remember

Recalling emotions and confusion

My emotions so confused

The soul seeks answers

My soul was seeking answers

Not using a knife symbolizes unanswered questions

No knife I let unused so many questions

The soul is tortured but believes in the right path

I had to satisfy my soul was under torture

Observing a cemetery under fog, hinting at a somber atmosphere

But I knew my way was right

Confident in the correctness of the chosen path

I see a cemetery fall asleep under fog

Expressing a realization that the past will not return

And I know the old days will never come

1993 is the year of misery symbolized by a knife

Again

The knife signifies the split in the Black Metal scene

1993, this year of misery was the knife

Since 1993, Black Metal took different paths

Which split the Black Metal scene apart

Unity in Black Metal was lost

Since that mighty day Black

Reflecting on lies, rumors, and negative emotions

Metal split his Way

Referencing the day when Burzum killed Mayhem

And the unity was never the same again

A call to remember and stay true to one's path

Lies, rumors and hate moneymaking, sadness

Emphasizing the encounter between the two warriors

And shame and all this by

The intensity of the moment, with blood and a red moon

The Day as Burzum Killed Mayhem

Black Metal faces its demise

Remember this day! Remember this way!

Dreaming of days before, honoring Black Metal purity

That you never betray, what here leads you

A call to remember the pain and history

On your way! And I never will forget

Referencing the past in the veins, suggesting a deep connection

The day as this both warriors met

Cutting off the past to let it flow like rain

The blood was hot the moon was red

An expression of frustration or emotion

And Black Metal created his own grave

Reflecting on the legend of the day when Burzum killed Mayhem

And I dream from days before

Dreaming of a time when Black Metal enthusiasts were true warriors

Black Metal Maniacs, no whore

Being part of the legions of war against conformity

In the legions of war

Reference to internal demons and the law within

The demons in our heads the law

Summoning a collective memory to never forget the pain

So I summon you once again

Recalling the legend of the day when Burzum killed Mayhem

We should never forget the pain

An insistence on not forgetting the painful history

From older days in our veins

Reflecting on the impact of past events on the present

We now cut of that it can flow like rain

Symbolically cutting off the past to allow for renewal

Arrghh, this was the legend from

An expression of frustration or intensity

The Day as Burzum killed Mayhem

Recapping the legend of the day when Burzum killed Mayhem
