Dimmu Borgir Avmaktslave Lyrics

Stanken fra den uransaklige vei
Hvor forkynnelse og fask forhapning er ate
trengeter igjennom som en bitterhetens gave
Og befrukter den menneskelige rate
Som en slave i avmakthetens tilstand
Rader ei annet enn nederlagshekjennelse
Retrett
Du har ei livets rett
Retrett
Du har ei livets rett
For ignoreres Dyret og idolets tegn
Vil straff omsider den skyldige bifalle
Denne fromme paktens skadelige innavl
Soker tilflukt i edens hage
Hvorpa en stolt ren og rakrygget herre
Ikke like lett lar seg belage
Sa nar dommedagstorden endelig runger
Kan menneskets fantasibilde avdukes
Alle og enhver med gudfryktig hunger
Vil tape ansikt og slukes

[English translation:]

Slave Of Impotency [as in "powerlessness"]

The stench from the mysterious way, [refers to "God works in mysterious ways" or something]
Where preach and false hopes are bait.
Pierces through like a gift of bitterness,
And fertilizes the human rot.

Like a slave in the state of impotency,
"Advices" nothing but confession of defeat.

Retreat!
You are not worthy the gift of life.
Retreat!
You are not worthy the gift of life.

Because if the sign of the animal and the idol is ignored,
Great punishment will "eventually come to the guilty."

This pious pact's harmful inbreed,
Seeks shelter in the garden of Eden.
Where a proud, pure and upright master
Is not as easily pleased.

So when the thunder of armageddon finally roars,
Can man's "fantasy image be shown".
Every man with god-fearing hunger,
Will lose face and be devoured.
