In a dark forest with cold lakes
Where the master of the world's
Fire does not go
In the darkest and greatest
Of nights and times.
And they came together
As the house of the dead.
The sons of time's power
The sons of the invincible suns.
We stand in the black circle.
The title is obviously a reference to "Lord Of The Rings," of which Varg Vikernes is a self-proclaimed fan. He draws parallels between Sauron and Wotan, and the song is more or less about the latter's ring known as Draupnir and its relation to the Germanic race (the third-to-last and second-to-last lines specifically). This is per Vikernes, mind you.
An approximate English translation:
ONE RING TO RULE
In a dark forest with cold lakes Where the master of the world's Fire does not go In the darkest and greatest Of nights and times. And they came together As the house of the dead. The sons of time's power The sons of the invincible suns. We stand in the black circle.
