Three Winters - Two Suns

If fire, brimstone and burning
winds are the chalice that shall
be given to those of the creation
So then your angel's flaming sword must bring
irrevocable and monumental destruction
 
Three winters - two suns
 
Ruthlessly and instantly taking
hold of this sickening source of infection
This loathsome offspring
and defiled relation1
 
Three winters - two suns
 
Anything of significance can no longer find
shade under the weighing-scales of creation
It labours on, hesitantly yet inexorably,
towards a blazing horizon
 
Like a grain of dust on the scythe,
Angels' reaping and the World's end
Anything of worth is but an atom
of significance in soulless decay
So cleave this atom, you abhorrent brother
Cleave it again and again
In The Son of Man's shadow
Once an enemy, become a friend
Stare into the Sun, vile brother, stare into the Sun
Let us pray before a blazing horizon
Now let us pray2
 
May the stream that endowed the soul with strength to act
Become burning tar
May the rain, that cleansed and brought forth life
Become hail and fiery coals
 
Three winters - two suns
Tree was impelled,
stem was impelled to blossom
and die a final time
Brimstone and salt,
No fertile soil or verdant earth
Storm and hail,
No adoration or vacuous words
 
Three winters - two suns
 
Anything of significance can no longer find
shade under the weighing-scales of creation
It labours on, hesitantly yet inexorably,
towards a blazing horizon

Hi, I love your translation. I see everything from the original, and it's also very well written. I had one question, yet I analyzed again and realized I am stupid :P, so now I have none. Thanks for solving the request, I really, really appreciate it.

You probably understand it better than I do. The Swedish is not easy at all, it's full of archaic terms and syntax, plus lots of metaphors. I don't listen to much doom metal either so I'm not so familiar with the themes, there are still references I don't get which might be translated better, like "creation's weighing-scales" maybe some connotations of judgement?
