wolf and fear

• nattens madrigal albümünden ulver parçası.
  
  snacket blandt folck vaer til bestandighed
  om fuldmaanens vee & grue
  
  naar det klagede op mod hendes skiaer
  fra vintrens kolde eensomhed
  da frycktede de at vargen vaer n¦r
  vakt vaer dends gamle mayestet
  
  der vaer dègn da nogen meenede at hafve seet
  i hendes lius, som han splidder med dend
  skygge som han spreer,
  skyggen aff een ukiend mackt
  der dend hylede mod sin gud i infernaldsk prackt
  
  dende diefvels herold, han herjede
  fra kandt til kandt, & mange aff mande¦t forsvandt
  paa dend hun lyser, han binder; oc helveds ulv,
  han dr¦ber, medens afgrunden brager
  forbandelsen er her visseligen
  
  aff diefvlen han bleff ski¦nked een gave
  der ved troldom favned han til ulv
  ey vaer han l¦nger een guds slave
  der ved midnat vandred ofver hule grave
  
  amongst men words went
  of the full moone's woe.
  
  when a dirge did rise to her skylit eye
  from the lone winter's colde
  they fear'd that the wolf was nigh
  awakened its majestie of olde
  
  nights did pass when men claim'd the saw
  in her light that he splits
  with the shadow he casts
  the shadow of a force unknown
  howling at its god in splendoure infernall
  
  this devil's herolde, he hunted the land
  and many a man disappear'd
  where she shines, he binds; the wolf of hell
  he kills o'ver the rumbling abyss
  
  the curse is certayne
  
  the beast below bestowed on him a gift
  and by magick he to wolf was bound
  no more was he a slave to god
  at midnight treading on hollow grave
