Broderskapets Ring

TRANSLATION: come young brother pour us your pure youth put your life in our hands fight our battle together with us let our sorrows darken your mind let your soul be torn feel the night closing around you forget all love no tears shall fill your nights step into the circle of the brotherhood no weakness you will find in your soul strength shall wander beside you come share your hatred with us leave your weak body let not beautilful words confuse you in death all power/might is found

THis is about a brotherhood of some dark thingy. Possibly a cult.

Awesome song, love the vocals, m3's meaning makes sense, and thank you Ddadutta for the translation

(Zions - I didn't mean to reply to you, it was a general statement. This website is a fucking pain in the ass.) Thank you so much for the translation! I was able to follow along a bit. The title is Circle of the Brotherhood. This song is definitely about finding truth in our existence. The twist is that the brotherhood is not necessarily of a living, breathing Order of Truth (comprised greatly of Norwegians, haha), but could be interpreted as simply death. Death has always been the truth. It is the only reality we have known for an eternity before our existence, and it is the only reality we will know for an eternity after our existence. It is an incredible paradigm of necros interruptus. I always scream the very last line along with Shagrath in the car: I døden finnes all makt!!!!! FUUUCKCKKK!!!!!!

I´d much rather suggest that it is spoken from the view of Christianity. "Brorskap" - "Brüderschaft" - "Brotherhood": that clearly reminds of abissal origin. I mean, it is Christian thought that values death as the beginning of the "true life" - that's one point being truly disgusting: "true, better life" starts at the end of life? How much would someone need to hate and reject life in order to make up the idea, that life starts at the end of life!? So, what I think is the meaning of this, is that a Monk or some other fiend of life talks to a young person, in order to get him join the circle. (People hating life don't want others to enjoy living. Jealousy - if that's the English word for "Neid"...) The twist is, that the Brother is not able to utter the lies he normally utters in such cases. It´s like in the film with Jim Carrey, where he is a lawyer and keeps saying what really thinks is true. (That movie sucked so much ass, though...) In the case of the brother: he tells the young boy, what he really does with him: draining life and soul off of him, letting him be obsessed by "Geist", logos, ratio. Thus, these lyrics express the core of Christian belief.
