I'm Norwegian, and I tried to translate this song :P
Bøn fra helvete - Prayer from hell
The sun is in zenith and the head hangs low
In the mines on 16 are we in the same boat
By the foot of the mountain you can see me walk
in measure with chains around my neck, year after year
Everything we let down in the shaft of gold and green emerald
ends right on Henry's lap, it's been told
It doesn't drip on us. We don't need no potter
because Henry is not a priest and none of us are bell ringers
Not even God can hear us when we pray from hell
Ivan started to run but he never came back
Many before him have tried to take Henry's life
And the rumour tells that he who stands with the whip
is in sharp contrast with a certain christian
We have lived in the mines on 16 for four years
but as soon as the chance bids, I'll get out
I hope you understand some more now, even though I can't write this lyrics in the same depth in English as it is in Norwegian....
To me it sounds like it's telling a story of some slave workers who work for some corrupt authorities.
