Minnenes ekko stiller timen
Kneblet I tungsinnets lenker faller jeg ifra
Ikke lenger vil jeg være boltet fast I vemodighetens anker
Men endelig få lengselen slukket - Etter å dra

Drakk jeg for meget av livhåpets krus
Tok jeg gledens forfengelighet for gitt
For min strid mot tomhetens smerte - Denne dødsangstens rus
Er det eneste ene igjen - Som er mitt

I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv
Derfor er jeg rolig når
Repet strammes rundt min nakke

Stumme vitner kan ei gi trøst
Menigmann I gravkorets forsamling vil aldri fatte
Det landet av fortapelse
Jeg egenhendig skapte

Denne intense dragning mot dødens portaler
En vandrende studie I gråtkvalt messe-noir
Behersket siden tidenes morgen
Men noe jeg aldri lot slippe taket - Var sorgen

I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv
Derfor er jeg rolig når
Repet strammes rundt min nakke


English translation (Excuse me if any writing errors. The text is quite difficult)

The echoes of the memories silences the hour
Gagged in the heavy mind's chains I fall away
No longer I wan't to be bolted stuck to the anchor of sadness
But finally get the longing 'put out' - After leaving

Drank I too much of the cup of (life)hope
Took I the joy of vanity for granted
Beacause my battle against the emptyness' pain - This death anxietys intoxication
Is the only thing left - That is mine

In my solitude I know anyway
That I have no other to thank but myself
That's why I'm calm when
The rope is tightened around my neck

Mute witnesses can not give comfort
The common man in the funerals choir gathering will never see
The land of the lost
I with my own hands created

This intense drag towards death's portals
A walking studie in choked weeped service (as in church)
Ruled since the dawn of time
But something I never let go of - Was the sorrow

In my solitude I know anyway
That I have no other to thank but myself
That's why I'm calm when
The rope is tightened around my neck

    General CommentIt's about suicide, I think. He's singing that he's chained to melancholy, or depression...
    The chorus is going like this in english;
    "In my loneliness I still know,
    That I have none to thank but myself.
    This is why I remain calm,
    As the rope is tightening around my neck."

    I'll quote from darklyrics.com, they have an english translation;
    "[Chambers Of Sorrow Part II]

    The echoes of silence sets the hour.
    Gagged in the chains of "depression", I fall away.
    No more I will be bolted fast in the anchor of "melancholy".
    But finally get my longing "fulfilled" - for leaving.

    Did I drink too much from the goblet of "lifehope"?
    Did I take the vanity of joy for granted?
    For my battle against the pain of emptiness - this intoxication of the angst of death,
    Is all that is left... that is mine.

    In my loneliness I still know,
    That I have none to thank but myself.
    This is why I remain calm,
    As the rope is tightening around my neck.

    Silent witnesses can not give comfort.
    The ordinary man in the assembly of the "gravechoir".
    Tha land of perdition
    I created by my own hands.

    This intense attraction to the portals of death
    (I have as) A wandering study of tearful messe-noir.
    Controlled since the dawning of time,
    But something I never would let go.. was the sorrow."
