lyrics

Saltstänksfyllda vindar krusar vattenytan
Tångens fingrar flyter av och an
Längre ner mot botten öppnas skogen upp
En sal där jag är värd och döden gäst

(Refräng)
Gröna draperier dansar till musiken
Ljuset leker glatt i min tångsal
Vågsvall leder gästen i en sakta vals
Tills benen lagts till ro i min havsgrav

Ett gästabud är dukat upp till fest
Mitt kött förrätt och kråm är huvudmål
Snabba ålar leker i min kroppshåla
Krabbor sliter ivrigt i mitt skinn

(Refräng)

Ett grin täcker min halvätna skalle
Likstela fingrar håller hårt tag i håret
På banemans gapande skräckslagna huvud
Ty jag hämtade kraken häromnatt när han sov

(Refräng)

English translation:

Hallgea
--------
Salty winds ripples the water surface
Algae fingers flowing to and fro
Further down towards the bottom, the forest opens up
A hall where I am host and death a guest

(Chorus)
Green curtains dancing to the music
The light plays happily in my algea hall
Breakers leads the guest into a slow waltz
Until the bones are laid to rest in my ocean grave

A feast is laid up for a banquet
My flesh is appetizer and my guts are main course
Fast eels play in my body cavity
Crabs rip eagerly into my skin

(Chorus)

A grin covers my half-eaten skull
Stiff fingers holding tight to the hair
Of my murderers terrified head
For I got the poor bastard last night when he slept

(Chorus)
