Lyrics:
[based on the poem "Tragediens Trone" by John Henrik Svaren] [is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to 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 is 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 a 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 a friend of foe - I greet the mourning 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. [JHS 1996]
