The text may be rather stupid (it is very possible), but I really like this song!! I'd like to know what they're singing about....

This is only the first verse
I like a lot of Swedish music - when they sing in their native language. Unfortunately I have rather scarce knowledge of swedish - I know the words skog, krig, hammar... ahem... I think this is almost all
Om dunkel stig i mångmilaskogar förtäljs i bergasagan

Words of a dusky trail through vast woods in the mountain tales

En snårig led som kantas av gyger som har blivit til sten

A tricky path lined with (female) giants turned to stone

I grenars verk av vindars iver höres ödslig klagan

The branches turn the ardent wind into dreary wails

Vad lurar bortom nästa krök, bortom irrblossken?

What's lurking around the corner, in the twilight zone?

Din rädslo äro större än att bliva rovdjursföda

Fear worse than being the beast of prey's kill

När du trampar stigens väg i mystisk labyrint

When you tread the trail's mystic maze in seek


I ringlande vandring svår, en ändlös trälamöda

A journey hard, a never-ending treadmill

Genom kitteldalens djup upp mot högan klint

From the cirques bottom to the peak


This translation is, of course, far from perfect. But it gives you an idea of what the lyrics are about. Is this some kind of heavy metal lyrics?
