This is the fastest song to date I have ever written. It is tied together with the predesessing song and blasts off with grinding drums in true Black Metal spirit. Perhaps this is the most "Black Metal-ish" song under the ElviraMadigan fan. Initially it had completely different lyrics. These words were however so explicit that I felt it might be wrong to put it on an album where the lyrics more or less follow a poetic or storytelling standard. The original words were a complete and relentless attack on the female strong believers in Christianity and had several offensive terms relating to those individuals (many of sexual nature...). Replacing these offensive lyrics was a tale of a man who lies freezing to death in the snow but gets taken care of by a woman, who after having "warmed" him up also gets him drunk. Then out of the shadows comes two wicked sisters and they all live happily ever after. To put it short. He doesn't want to leave (who would!). The song is not that very long, but manages to accomplish surpisingly much with an entirely instrumental middle section. This was the very first song I wrote for this album and had the drumlines recorded during the "BlackArts" sessions. However the rest of the instruments were all put much later on. It was also actually thought of as the title song for the CD and well, I suppose it more or less is, since "Häxor" means "Witches". |
 Du ser mig ligga i snön Blott ögonblicket från att frysa till döds Så du tar mig hem och framför öppen eld Sätter du blodet i svall Medan du själv tycks förbli lika kall I lustfyllt rus och ovan tomma krus - I kammaren Med grumlig blick ser jag dig i aftonskrud Men ikring dig likt skuggor som fladdrar i mörkret Du är ej själv i mitt sällskap Dina systrar, du och jag Där är en så fager och en så grann Den tredje mörk och hon räcker mig sin hand Jag gräver mig ner i primitivt köttsligt begär Så djupt att ur kommer jag aldrig - Ifall längtan tär För både natt som dag, varje vaken stund Du är min värd som ger mig allt Så länge hungern i dig och dina systrar jag när Så säg mig varför ska jag gå när vintern rasar utanför Ty häxor, maror och vittror gör mig aldrig förnär. |
 You see me lying in the snow All but a moment from freezing to death So you take me home and before an open fire You set my flood my bloodstream Whilst you yourself remains just as cold In a passionate drunkenness and above emptied jugs - In the chamber With a misty glare I see you in your evening gown But around you like shadows that flicker in the darkness You are not alone in my comany Your sisters, you and I There is one so fair and one so beautiful The third one dark and she reaches out for my hand I bury myself in the primitive desires of the flesh So deep that I may never escape - If my longing would return For of night as of day, every waking hour You are my host who grants me everything As long as the hunger within you and your sisters I satisfie So tell me why should I leave when the winter rages outside For witches, (night)mares and ???? never do me any harm |
