Such an amazing song, yet noone happened to give a translation to this one... I found it on mp3lyrics.com, I'll copy-paste to you.
[LARGER THAN TIME, HEAVIER THAN NIGHT]
The rooster fell dead in the dust
Before the break of dawn
But I knew time
The horse hung from worn out straps
With ungreatfulness
Wipped into his eyes
But I pulled the plow myself
The peasant laid himself down on the fields
Neither plenty nor free -
but I cleared new land
Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered
Colours faded, hearts froze cold
The noise silenced, but mine
was victory and might
Larger than time - heavier than night
Mountains fell, forestgreen to black
Time turned to silence, water to sand
The sun went cold, gone all but one light
Larger than time - heavier than night
Days ended, and the stars died
Before the wanderers reached home
But I knew the way
Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds
Laid to rest in bottomless pits
But I spotted new and unknown shores
The gods suddenly aged
When the golden walls fell
But I gave them new powers.
I think is about individualism, a man achieving great goals without the help of anyone. But, knowing Enslaved, it could also be a reference to some norse mythological material. Someone could figure it out?
