Litani til Satan [English translation]

Oh you, the beautiful angel

Show us your teachings

Of god and fate

Deprived of power and honor

And the first driven out wrongly

Far from civilization

Always beaten to the ground

You rise up again

You know all there is

The army of the underworld

An omniscient father

Make yourself free on your journey

Condemned and pursued

You guard the lepers

And show through love

the glory of Paradise

Satan vis miskum (?)

You who are in league with the dead

An old mistress

With bygone hopes

The old crazy woman

You give hope to the pariah

Peace and discipline

So he may judge the people

By his guillotine

And you who look after them

The precious pieces

The envious god holds

Hidden for fine jewelry

You know where they lie

You know the crevice

Where the tribes lurk

Twinkling metal

Satan vis visbiskum

Judgment teaches us misery

And for trust and meaning,

And the swirling sulphur

And saltpeter in union,

Which hold your dark Sluagh1

On the forehead of a Croeses2

A merciless tyrant

Is the light of a staff,

For all the forsaken.

Faith for the accomplice

And those by the gate of the dead

You are the father for those who

God shows disdain

A judgment drove you out

Of worldly paradise
