Low Night

Where are you now? I can't find you here.
I sit by your side; there's no heat.
But everything must pass on, death's last custom.
I hurt and betrayed you in my ugly game.
The price is so high with the heart at a doorway.
The bitter feeling of hate, myself always tormented.
In the cruel clutches of death, the sorrow hewed at the string.
Already miss you and call you my love.
I try to stand up straight, but I know I'll end alone.
Because the black hatred in the heart is our Lord,
The supply of life has fallen into a coma.
Given up completely, the struggle died, now I crawl on my knees.
On a knife's blade dancing wobbly and sore. 1

It seems sure that by the line “því að hatrið svarta í hjörtunum er drottinn vor”, they simply meant that the heart mentioned is ruled by the black hatred, that it acts as a ruler over it; not that the black hatred is actually the Lord God (Jesus Christ) Himself. So I think the word “lord” shouldn’t be capitalized.
