Partial credit for "Mab" goes to actress Miranda Richardson for her performance in the movie "Merlin". She is the inspirational input concerning the lyrical contents, for the words tell of the evil "Mab" (of Faery, and ancient Arthurian folklore) which M Richardson personifies with excellence.
I admit though, that I might have twisted the storyline into a more erotic and sexual one than is presented in the film. But on the other hand, the song "Mab" takes over where "Merlin" ends... This track is perhaps the most "ordinary" track on the album if one considers the songstructure. This one does have verses, choruses and in the middle even a bridge, all appearing in "clockwise" order. The song is very heavy in a rather slow tempo. Some very good guitarsolos are featured as well as riffs used in one predecessing song. "Mab" came to life during just a few days and was actually intended to be used as a less serious song with Swedish nonsensical lyrics, but I enjoyed the melody played when the mainriff rolls too much so I quickly rewrote it to fit the Elvira Madigan "tracklist". It is a rather different song from all the fast ones on the album, and I love it! |
 Bortom Mörkret glömd och svag Ligger Hon och väntar än Vilar huvudet i ondskans Knä Väntar tålmodigt tills den... ...Dagen då Hennes tid åter igen nalkas Och Hon stark och pånyttfödd släpps fri För att åter Föra Strid Kysser läppar varma än Som sedan länge tystnat in Hennes lust som kött Begär Väntar tålmodigt tills den... ...Dagen då Hennes tid åter igen nalkas Och Hon stark och pånyttfödd släpps fri Hon trånar och vrider sig på sin bädd Som hon Tvunnit av män Nakna för Hennes Begär Mab Svart lockar Hon omsorgsfullt Sedan Tidens begynnelse lagt Dagen då Hon åter igen får Släppa ut sitt böljande Hår Är här Snart |
 Beyond the Darkness forgotten and weak She lies in Wait Rests Her head in the lap of Evil Waits patiently for the... ...Day when Her time finally arrives once more And She, strong and reborn, is set free again To once more Do Battle Kisses lips still vibrant Which since long has gone silent Her lust pure Flesh desires And waits patienly for the... ...Day when Her time finally arrives once more And She, strong and reborn, is set free again She yerns and turns anxiously upon Her bed she's twisted together with men Naked for He own desire Mab Black curls She so tenderly Since the Dawn of Time did lay The day when she once again may Unfold her beautiful hair Is here Soon |
