Draugen Lyrics

English Lyrics:

In the sickening dusk,
In the midnight hour's moon-yellow darkness
With heavy feet towards the ocean you walk
Out where Draugen screams so pale and cold

Around are only clammy shadows
And voices that throw themselves out
In screaming fear and wild dissonance.
Like a swarm of spiritless voices.

Draugen is calling and Draugen rows
In his old wreck without mast and rudder
The wind blows so heavy from the north
Far out there where nothing grows

The night creeps about reefs and sea
Down to the leaden seabed
Darkness thickens and the rain it falls
The world waits in listening horror

All this gray that gropes
It brews up to storm tonight
The sea is so insidious and black
To welcome you, when you come

Draugen is calling and Draugen he rows
In his old wreck without mast and rudder
The wind blows so heavy from the north
Far out there where nothing grows

When everything is silent, and the sea it threatens
Then Draugen whispers his severe judgment
Like teeth of the predator in the flesh tears
You are given a grave in the black sea

The sea is so insidious and black
Around are only clammy shadows

Draugen is calling and Draugen he rows
In his old wreck without mast and rudder
The wind blows so heavy from the north
Far out there where nothing grows.
