[lyrics by Trondr, 1997]
Slumbering through the burning desert, total lack of liquid
Oh gods of this place, please bring me thy vine
I could almost drink the blood of Jesus
I would dry his veins until he fell down in a pile of skin
I fell down out of exhaustion, my face met the ground my mouth was filled with sand
And my skin was boiling from the sun
The vultures stared circling above me, I was almost ready to give my body to the birds of doom
Lay myself to rot in the burning sand fields, I was dying....
...but then, a mighty dark shape rised before me and gave me shelter from the sun
It was a god - the god of them all, and indeed he had brought a bottle of vine... the blood of himself
He spoke a distant language and granted me the bottle
I received it with my shivering pale hands... I drank the vine, and as I steadily came to myself
The god slowly vanished with the dust, except that of him which he had left in the bottle.
Urgehal are a Norwegian black metal band formed in Hønefoss in 1992. Considered one of the most influential bands in the genre, they helped define the aesthetics and sound of Norwegian black metal in the 1990s. Their musical style is characterized by dark atmospheres, fast and aggressive riffs, dark lyrics, and a prominent use of acoustic instruments. Among their most representative songs are "The Serpent's Embrace", "Blood and Iron" and "In the Shadow of the Cross". The debut album "Where Evil Dwells" (1995) is considered a classic of the genre, while "Through the Eyes of a Killer" (1997) further solidified their reputation. Urgehal have collaborated with other Norwegian black metal artists such as Darkthrone and Satyricon, contributing to the growth of a very lively underground music scene.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
