Lyrics
Behold the vast dismal hall beneath the black
Describing a vast, gloomy hall under darkness
Moutain and the great ebony throne in the
The mountain and a grand throne in the hall
Middle of it. See the ancient god sitting upon
An ancient god seated on the throne
This throne and holding in his hand a golden
Holding a golden chalice filled with human suffering
Chalice full of human suffering and fear. Once
Once a god of joy, now transformed into a god of pain by the Young Gods' will
God of joy he became god of pain... By the will
Reference to the transformation of the god
Of Young Gods. The sword on the altar before
A sword placed on an altar near the throne
The throne... The sword of blue magical steel...
Describing the sword's material and magical nature
The Great Sword of Power... My disciple, it
Implying ownership of the sword by the disciple
Must be yours! Tortured victims fill all the hall
The hall filled with tortured victims
Before the throne Losing the rest of mind and
Tormented souls losing their sanity before the throne
Soul with the parting groan Eyes gushing blood,
Physical suffering depicted through bleeding eyes and torn mouths
Mouth torn with a scream and no one hears
No one hears their screams of agony
Before this face, bloodlustful and grim, life
Life vanishes before the grim, bloodthirsty god
Disappears Winged creatures under the ceiling -
Winged creatures observing from above
Down they stare Harvest pain, fear and
Harvesting pain, fear, and suffering
Suffering bouncing there Mixed with gore it
Gore mixed with these emotions to make a drink for the god
Makes the drink for the ancient god Raising
Raising the powers of the dreadful lord, the Mountain King
Powers of Mountain King - dreadful lord Hagen,
Referencing Hagen as the disciple of Darkness
Disciple of Darkness... Step forth and take what
Hagen is encouraged to claim the sword
Now is yours... The sword... And I will help you
Offering assistance to Hagen in wielding power
With my force I gather the power for flaming
Gathering power for a fiery spell
Spell Around myself turning the world Gaining
Using the heart of Muspell to gain true fire
True fire from the heart of Muspell Floods of the
Distorting time with floods of fire
Time I distort Fire shines into their eyes, hear
Witnessing the effect of fire on the victims
Their cries Dusk dies, uncovers disguise, see
Seeing the victims' demise as dusk falls
Their demise Trampling down mountain guards
Overcoming the guards of the mountain
You break to the throne Crushing their swords,
Confronting and defeating resistance
Slashing apart with the strength grown Fire
Increasing strength and wielding fire
Shines, blind are their eyes, your powers rise
Blinding the guards and rising in power
Dusk dies, uncovers disguise, now take your
Revealing the true identity and claiming the prize
Prize Before the throne you grab the sword -
Seizing the sword before the throne
Finally yours You pierce the chest of mountain
Fatally harming the mountain lord without remorse
Lord with no remorse With their lord
The mountain lord's demise
Disincarnated the servants of the mountain
The servants of the mountain vanish
Disappear And the souls of the tortured finally
The tortured souls find freedom in their afterlife
Obtain their long waited freedom Rejoicing in
Celebration of the tortured souls' liberation
Their afterlife Banished is the god - the body's
The god is banished, body dead, but spirit wanders
Dead and spirit roams But no return for blood
No return for the shed blood and pain
That's shed and for painful groans Victims death
The victims' suffering transformed into everlasting power
Turned into power that never dies Now it's
The power waiting for its time to re-emerge
Waiting for its hour to arise
Anticipation of the power's resurgence
