Black Lake Niðstång Lyrics
Written in the waters...
(voice of the dead)
"Our shadows seep into the dusk
Like cranes that melt into the pool;
A black lake in which they descend
Pale ghosts caress the nidstång in the dark
its face scarred by the ages,
its curse sent with heathen breath to poison the waters of the black lake
We are...we are...the faces below the ripples
A deep sorrow traveled through the woods
and found a home in our humble grave"
(voice of the niðstång)
"I've sent this peril...
To the world; this peril shall spread all sorrows
And you are but gods
watching from below at the base of the totem
in the black temple of the Earth
I am... I am... the silence inside the tomb
You created the stars
and gave birth to all the heavens;
the darkness of the space and time
So go... go to the nightside end below"
Where have all the noble cranes gone?
Where have all the stags disappeared to?
Piled below in the tomb of this burdened pool
A curse to those who corrupt these sacred woods
A curse to those who taste this solemn water
No unhallowed breath shall seal a fate before me
Join the drowned in the silence of the black lake's womb
Accursed...written in the waters...
"Our shadows seep into the dusk
Like cranes that melt into the pool;
A black lake in which they descend
Pale ghosts caress the nidstång in the dark
its face scarred by the ages,
its curse sent with heathen breath to poison the waters of the black lake
We are...we are...the faces below the ripples
A deep sorrow traveled through the woods
and found a home in our humble grave"
"I've sent this peril...
To the world; this peril shall spread all sorrows
And you are but gods
watching from below at the base of the totem
in the black temple of the Earth
I am... I am... the silence inside the tomb
You created the stars
and gave birth to all the heavens;
the darkness of the space and time
So go... go to the nightside end below"
Where have all the stags disappeared to?
Piled below in the tomb of this burdened pool
A curse to those who corrupt these sacred woods
A curse to those who taste this solemn water
Join the drowned in the silence of the black lake's womb
Accursed...written in the waters...

Great job on these difficult-to-understand lyrics; I got something very similar on listening to the song ~40 times in the last week. I think there's one minor mistake, at the end of the second verse.
You have:
"the darkness of space and time So go...go to the nightside end blow"
I'm pretty sure the correct lyric is
"the darkness of the space and time so go...go to the night silent below"
no, the lyrics really are correct, i have the limited edition and i don't know if the lyrics are in the regular booklet, but in this one they are. so i can confirm the lyrics being correct...

yeah, i did have a typo or two in there but other than that they were taken directly from the booklet of the regular edition of Marrow of the Spirit. spaced them all the best i could, too.

'Join the drowned in the silence of the black lake's womb...'
