In Stein geboren
Monument
Aufstieg oder Untergang?
Hinunter in die Erde, tief in den Berg
Um aus Finsternis, das Feuer zu schürfen
Rot jenes Erste, welch die Metallkunst gebar
Sonnengleich, was Gier erweckte, Silbers Schwester gar
Vermählt wurd Kupfer mit grauem Zinn
Ein Bastard ward die Bronze
Das Erz gebar das harte Eisen,
welches zuerst vom Himmel fiel

Monument
Born in stone
Monument
Rise or downfall?
Down into the soil, deep into the mountain
To pit the fire out of darkness
Red yonder first, which birthed metal art 1
Sun-like, which arose greed, silver's sister even
Wedded was copper with gray tin
A bastard shall've been 2 bronze
The ore birthed the hard iron,
which was the first to fall from the sky
- 1. This might be a wordplay, because "Metallkunst" literally translates as "metal art", but could refer to both the craft of forging and obviously also the genre Metal
- 2. "ward" is an old-fashioned way of saying "wurde" which just means to become, but in the past tense. I can't find an English translation here that doesn't sound awkward

Qui traduit ?
This was hard to translate as I'm unable to actually understand what's being sung in the song, but I trust you that you got the right lyrics.
The lyrics are also rather abstract and obscure and this is not the type of metal I usually listen to, so I can't say if I got the content across or not.
The language is also rather fairy tale like and old-fashioned, which is hard to translate into English in a nuanced way. I hope this helps nonetheless!
Edit: I can't tell whether the bands founders belong to the NSBM scene or not, I spent way too much time researching it online and since I'm not familiar with Black Metal I can't come to a solid conclusion. I don't support NSBM in any way, fuck Nazis, but the lyrics seem harmless, that's why I decided to leave this translation up.
