Al Svartr (the Oath)

Emperor

Hark, O Nightspirit


Father of my dark self


From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth


By this lake of blood from which we feed to breed


I call silently for thy presence as I lay this oath





May the night carry my will


And may these old mountains forever remember this night


May the forest whisper my name


And may the storm bring these words to the end of all worlds





May the wise moon be my witness


As I swear on my honour


In respect of my pride and darkness itself


That I shall rule by the blackest wisdom





O Nightspirit


I am one with Thee


I am the eternal power


I am The Emperor





Winds and storms, embrace us now


Lay waste the light of day


Open the gates to darker lands


We spread our wings and fly away
