Helheim - The Raid Of The Nightraven lyrics

Standing in a misty forest

feeling a vapour of coldness

death is awaited this night

the death of myself

Here in the hall of Mørkveden

I torture myself in hate

pushing the sword deeper into myself

deeper and deeper until it devours my mind

The raid of the nightraven will commence

when the night it shall praise

It floats above me as a sign

of death, darkness and Helheim

there where a hundred men live

and their souls and blood harden

The raid of the nightraven will come

when the day has come to an end

Hail my death - in the embracement of the forest

My screams sounded - come raven of the night

I am now wandering as a slave of darkness - forgotten

and lost

My flesh is freezing to ice, as my soul is wandering

There you can feel the breeze of death, and is amongst

the slaves of dark Hel

There the forest lies hidden

black, obscure and forgotten

no man is found

where cold and darkness is bound

The forest is enshrouded by fog

so that no one can find it

Only those that long for death

and to Hel will descend

Above the wood south of Midgard

above Mørkvedens inner hall

a nightraven is flying

still with a lust for death
