Hymne III - Wolf And Hatred - Lyrics - Ulver

Ulver are a Norwegian experimental musical collective founded in 1993, by vocalist Kristoffer Rygg. Their early works, such as Bergtatt, were categorised as folklore-influenced black metal but have since evolved a fluid and increasingly eclectic musical style, blending genres such as rock, electronica, symphonic and chamber traditions, noise and experimental music into their oeuvre. 1997 marked their international debut with the release of their third album Nattens madrigal through German label Century Media. However, following discord with the label, Kristoffer Rygg formed his own imprint Jester Records in 1998.

O Vandringsmand i een forbandet Nat Troe ey at hans Had dig vild skaane Hans Rov vild ey vaere nogen anden End dig - Der vild skiælve i hans vær I uselt Haab om at Huus er nær End dig - Hvis Blod skald blifve hans stærke Viin Oc Siæl, hans hellige Trofé Faafængt han lader dig gyde Ut dit Blod i Smertens Sin Saa du som død ey Sofnloest kand Fortælde Frænder: "Ulven er ham!"
