Thank you for the more literal translation!
I just wanted to confirm, what does "før" mean in the first verse?

Translation
Grave Longing/Dust to Dust
Still it flows
blood red:
the wide river of ill omen
bloodies your swords
From the depth
bodies surface
the ocean’s Eden
you see drifting by
Raise
your eyes
and behold me
your true home
Listen to
my lamentation
come lay down in
my blue embrace
Reeking
of your cruelty
eternally weapon-grey
is your grave longing
The fire
must burn out
life’s ancient melody
can you sing it?
Raise
your eyes
and behold me
your true home
Listen to
my lamentation
come lay down in
my blue embrace

It means wide, I forgot to add that in there.
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
