Mordet I Grottan Lyrics

[Feorel]

I came across this song a while ago and looked up the lyrics as well, but I didn't get the chance to save the lyrics onto a word document. Now I became interested with the song again, and I google'd various combinations containing "Mordet I Grottan", "Sorskogen", and "lyrics", but no luck. If anyone happens to know a site or just knows the lyrics for the song, could you post them here? Thanks a lot.

Mike posted them here a while ago, but since the search feature is out, it's gonna be a tough chance to find them.

'Murder in the Cave'

 

[R0l0]

^ a song by sorskogen, which was a small side project of Akerfeldt and Swano, I believe.

A summer once ago
The warmth sweeps through
We smile, laughing
But a strange calmness take place
Somewhere in the forest
The cave where we played as kids
A harmed body, in eternal sleep
Robbed the dawn of life

Who murdered him
Who took his life
Nobody knows, yet today

Throw the darkness over our ideal place
Light that shines
Takes us to better days
His soul wanders further
We slowly go back
The trail leads us home
The day is soon to end
We try to forget
The murder in the cave

Who murdered him
Who took his life
Nobody knows, yet today

Who murdered him
Who took his life
Nobody knows, yet today

Swedish:

En sommar en gång
värmen sveper igenom
vi ler skrattande
men ett lömskt lugn infinner sig
någonstans i skogen
grottan där vi lekte som barn
en sargad kropp i evig sömn
berövad livets gryning

Vem var det som mördade honom
Vem var det som tog hans liv
ingen vet, ens idag

kastar mörker över vår idyll
Ett ljus som lyser ömt
ta oss mot bättre dagar
hans själ vandrar vidare
vi går sakta tillbaka
stigen leder oss hem
dagen har lidit mot sitt slut
vi försöker glömma
mordet i grottan

Vem var det som mördade honom
Vem var det som tog hans liv
ingen vet, ens idag

Great song. Anyone know what year they did it?

 

[Pseud0]

^ good question

 

[Feorel]

Ah, thanks so much. *copies onto word document right now*

I think they did the song somewhere around 1993 or something.

 

[OpethNZ]

no problem, heheh i always found this line in the swedish lyrics funny

sitt slut

makes me think of domestic abuse, "SIT SLUT!! *WHACK*", awesome

 

[Du sollst dich töten]

"sitt slut" is good, but the Arcturus song that says "bitter fart" has it beat.

 

[Arnold Layne]

This song kicks ass.

It sounds like Mike says dog on a leed at one point, in the same line as sit slut.

Dog on a leed, sit slut hahaha

 

[prowlergrig]

1993? before orchid? hmmm

release date, not sure, but just found this interesting piece from an old interview circa 2001:

MU: Tell me a bit about your side projects Sorskogen and Bloodbath.

MA: Sorskogen is not really a side project. It is just something I did for fun. I don't know why I decided to put it up on the internet. It was a professional recording if you will. It was recorded with Dan Swano. I was pretty proud of the track. I thought it was a cool track, but it's not a project. It is just something I did. I've done a couple of more tracks by Sorskogen, but nothing serious. I wouldn't call it a project. Bloodbath - we only did that mini CD on Century Media 'Breeding Death'. Which is pretty cool. It is kind of like a homage to late 80's, early 90's death metal from Stockholm and America.

MU: Yeah. It is very well done.

MA: It's cool. We did it for the hell of it. All of us are huge fans of that kind of music. There's even talk that we should do a full-length, but I'm not sure of that. It's more or less Anders from Katatonia. It's his project. If he's gonna write a couple tracks, I'm gonna put down some vocals for it maybe. We also plan to do a Morbid Angel cover for some kind of tribute album.

Against all odds, Mike writes ten-fold better in English than he does in his native tongue. Maybe it just comes off poorly in the translation?

 

[Jon Snow]

Great song.

 

[Korlich]

Is there anyone of you guys who have the song and are willing to share it please?

I guess it`s a matter of taste. The swedish lyrics are among the best lyrcis i`ve heard but i guess lots of swedes think of them as cheesy or maybe ridiculous.

The translation to english isn`t the same as hearing the lyrics being sing in swedish.

But that`s my opinion.
