Sorgens Kammer - Del II

Chamber of Sorrow - Part II

Sorgens Kammer - Del II

The echo of memories quiets the hourMinnenes ekko stiller timen
Gagged in the chains of melancholy, I fall awayKneblet i tungsinnets lenker faller jeg ifra
No longer will I be bolted fast in the anchor of melancholyIkke lenger vil jeg være boltet fast i vemodighetens anker
But finally have the longing quenched - To departMen endelig få lengselen slukket - Etter å dra

Did I drink too much from the cup of lifeDrakk jeg for meget av livhåpets krus
Did I take the vanity of joy for grantedTok jeg gledens forfengelighet for gitt
For my struggle against the pain of emptiness - This intoxication of deathly fearFor min strid mot tomhetens smerte - Denne dødsangstens rus
Is the only thing left - That is mineEr det eneste ene igjen - Som er mitt

In my loneliness, I still knowI min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
That I have no one else to thank but myselfAt jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv
That's why I am calm whenDerfor er jeg rolig når
The rope tightens around my neckRepet strammes rundt min nakke

Silent witnesses cannot give comfortStumme vitner kan ei gi trøst
The common man in the assembly of the grave choir will never comprehendMenigmann i gravkorets forsamling vil aldri fatte
The land of damnationDet landet av fortapelse
That I single-handedly createdJeg egenhendig skapte

This intense pull towards the portals of deathDenne intense dragning mot dødens portaler
(Have I as) A wandering study in tear-choked mass-noir(Har jeg som) En vandrende studie i gråtkvalt messe-noir
Mastered since the dawn of timeBehersket siden tidenes morgen
But something I never let go of - Was the sorrowMen noe jeg aldri lot slippe taket - Var sorgen
