歌词：
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair
Evoked and entertained through centuries
Wrathful and sullen -- Dormant still
The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last
Hear my offering
Ye bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
Share my sacrifice
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair
Reconcile not with the fear of the snake
But embrace it as your own
Inject its venom into your veins
And replant the seed that gives growth
Still shrouded in mystery
Until you rise above perception
A veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing throughout generations
A veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing throughout multiple generations
Let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit
And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature
The snake is notoriously tempting
But the snake is fair
What is worse than not knowing?
To live or disappear?
The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last
Hear my offering
Ye bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
Share my sacrifice
DIMMU BORGIR这支来自挪威的乐队可以算是当今最为走红的黑金属乐队了，他们将凄美的音乐与重金属结合的天衣无缝。1993年，SHAGRATH，SILENOZ和TJODALV（原OLD MAN‘S CHILD鼓手）三人成立了DIMMU BORGIR，不久以后，BRYNJARD TRISTAN和STIAN ARRSTAD加入乐队分别担任BASS手和键盘手，于是DIMMU BORGIR终于有了一个比较完整的阵容。你在DIMMU BORGIR的音乐中可以听到凄美的旋律，富有攻击性的吉它，原始而又冷酷的演唱，他们的音乐受到了80年代重金属和古典音乐作曲家的影响，所以你还能在他们的音乐中听出瓦格纳和德沃夏克的影子。
