Desert By Night Lyrics
Yes, I am here…
Here at the landscape of my dreams
And what´s this perfection?
I feel immortality next to me
I have lived my life in your arms, mother
now I´m back to show my gratitude
Take my life, I know that I´m worth of you
And I´ll live again and I will live… through the Elk!
Now speak, Serpent, with my tongue
-tell them what you think
-infiltrate the venom in their veins
Brother Wolf, take my mind, use my hands for thee
and lead the way to Hall-up-high
- take their lives
Take back what is yours!
I´ve set this sacrifice
(…and now we dance
here in this circle of flames
We praise Your Might
We praise Your power to live…yeah)
Fresh as the North Wind…
You blow right to my heart
Warm as the South Breeze
my blood now covers the sand (and on we die!)
We have lived our lives in your arms, mother
Now we´re back show our gratitude
Take our lives, if you think we´re worth of you
and we will live again among the sheep…
as the Wolves!
Now speak, Hedgehog, with my tongue
-tell them what you want
and take revenge for a million lives
Sister Swan, spread thy wings, your enemies are mine
and let live those who are worth of you
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
Here at the landscape of my dreams
And what´s this perfection?
I feel immortality next to me
now I´m back to show my gratitude
Take my life, I know that I´m worth of you
And I´ll live again and I will live… through the Elk!
-tell them what you think
-infiltrate the venom in their veins
Brother Wolf, take my mind, use my hands for thee
and lead the way to Hall-up-high
- take their lives
I´ve set this sacrifice
here in this circle of flames
We praise Your Might
We praise Your power to live…yeah)
You blow right to my heart
Warm as the South Breeze
my blood now covers the sand (and on we die!)
Now we´re back show our gratitude
Take our lives, if you think we´re worth of you
and we will live again among the sheep…
as the Wolves!
-tell them what you want
and take revenge for a million lives
and let live those who are worth of you
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
-taste our minds

This is probably one of the greatest metal-songs ever written. The feelings it inwokes within me... It just cannot be described.
Same here, wrecked. Particularly the last two stanzas!
I think this is a sort of pagan revenge-of-nature tale, with a bizarre twist. The narrator calls upon the Animal Powers and sacrifices himself to give them the power to take revenge. In the second half, it becomes clear that he's actually one of a group of people, and not alone.
A side note: "Hall-Up-High" is, I think, a literal translation of "Valhalla".
Definitely a unique song, just for the lyrics.
