[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]
