Loki Unbound
06:25
|
|||
|
Father of beasts, shapeshifting trickster
Bound by the entrails from one of his own
The serpent of Skadi no longer to burn
Unbound at last and now free to roam
End times have come, off to the battle
Eager to join beasts in the fray
Twilight of Aesir, Loki unbound
Joining the jotnar this day
Sigyn can rest, the venom is gone now
Aligned with the giants to tear down the world
Death follows the unbinding
Now the trickster is free
Death of Baldr led to downfall
Now that is all behind
Loki and Heimdallr will face each other
The battle will soon begin
But now the shapeshifting pest is away
To seek out allies with hopes to win
Off to the dead ship to set forth
To join in burning the world
Loki the trickster now is unbound
His hate and malice unfurled

Hordes Ready on Naglfar

Ship of death, nailcraft horror
Hrym at the helm, wrathful jotunn
Trickster approaches to join the mob
Hordes of Hel's minions
Set forth by the serpent, writhing wild
Follow the wolf
Come from the east, from old Muspelheim
Sailing upon the floods
Waters are churning, the eagle soars high
Pale-beaked, he tears the corpse
Now off to battle, to face the high ones
To ravage Midgard in force
Smashing the bridge, raiding Asgard
All life has now run its course
Grasping his shield, bloodlust rises
Legion on board
Set against Aesir, in the end times now
Clashing of titans, monsters and beasts
Destroying the world
Sailing vast oceans, on nails of dead
Follow the wolf
Ship of the dead
Raiding and slaying the living
Taking all life
Ushering end times foretold from the start
Now Hrym readies for the conflict
All in his path shall meet death
Nails of decay, churning the waters
Bringing the armies up to the shore

Celestial Orbs Consumed

Wolven predation now comes to a close
Mocking and hating children of the sky
Skoll and Hati, jaws draw near to Sol and Mani
Across the sky now for so long, set the cosmos free
Chariots asunder, tearing flesh from bone
Skies darken and begin to fall
The wolves' chase ends in mortal wounds
Devouring all the blazing light
Round since the cosmos began
Now fallen low as prey
The chase is at its end
All light put out this day
Howling, gnashing, clenching fangs
Siblings shall be slain
The wolves now free to end their course
Causing ceaseless pain
All is dark and death draws near
Sun and moon both fall
All the beasts are out to play
At the Ragnarok call
Why has this fate come so swift
All light is put out
Mocking, hating those they sought
Casting fearful doubt

March of the Fire Giants
09:06
|

|
Ashen, blade in hand
Surtr rises to burn the land
Giants marching to war
Soon the world shall be no more
One by one fires rise
A bright sword flashes before your eyes
Set from Muspelheim, now they march
A fiery blade cuts through the dark
Surtr and Freyr will soon fight
March of the giants and Hrym's sailing might
Set from Muspelheim, now they march
A fiery blade cuts through the dark
And now the land is engulfed in flame
Now is the time of the jotnar reign
Fire set to the land
Surtr wields giant sword in hand
Time for epic battle to begin
This time the jotnar side shall win

The Other Hand of Tyr
06:58
|
|||
|
He of war and victory
Once, justice was brought
While binding with Gleipnir
Gave right hand with forethought
The first, given up to Fenrir
Betrayed and bound
But now the last shall clash
With Hel's guarding hound
Tyr steps into Ragnarok
Garmr stands in his way
War and death meet with force
The battle starts and ends this day
One handed mastery of steel
Claws and fangs so foul
Both lie slain in the end
Following the beast's final howl
Another Aesir falls
The lawbringer now lies still
The Hel hound is taken in the descent
Both have made their last kill
Asgard and Helheim, one of each fades
As the cosmos will soon
Wisdom will be devoured
The skies already consumed
One by one, the names they fall
Back to primordial state
Jotnar and the beasts now rise
Unleashing all their hate
Fangs meet steel
Final stand of Tyr
Garmr's howl
All are stricken with fear
|

Another offspring of the trickster now rises high
The Midgard serpent unleashes its awful cry
Wrapped around the world no more, the beast releases its tail
And through the sky the protector of mankind sails
Son of Odin, Mjolnir in hand, Thor arrives for the fight
Preparing to engage the beast with all his Aesir might
Thunder roars as poison sprays into the air and sea
Jormungandr thrashes fierce as all monsters roam free
When Ragnarok began the beast's tail was released
But now the einherjar have taken their last feast
Thor and the serpent, clashing above, who will win the day?
Venomous fangs bite out in hate as Mjolnir hammers away
Serpent laid low, dead
Hammer dropped low, dead
The serpent, laid low, crashes to the ocean, dead
As he of Asgard returns to the land
The mighty one of strength drops the hammer low
Stricken by venom, nine paces left, another Aesir falls

Splitting the Wolf
05:33
|

|
Another Loki offspring, Fenrir and wisdom meet
The highest, Odin, devoured and now lost to the beast
Father of Skoll and Hati now faces One-Eye's son
Vidarr the silent, master of vengeance, certain his sword will feast
Mighty Aesir with half jotunn blood, revenge has consumed his will
The gigantic wolf leaps into the fray, razor sharp fangs lunging for the kill
Silent and swift, revenge goes on the hunt
With Odin now fallen, Vidarr moves to the front
To face the mighty Fenrir, he'll stab out at his heart
Grabbing the jaws, tearing in half, as foretold from the start
Vengeance has been brought, blade found flesh
A mighty boot upon the jaw
Of Asgard and jotnar
Vidarr has prevailed
He of the runes has been avenged, now the beast lies slain
But the world still burns all around, everything screaming in pain
Offspring of Odin shall weather the flames, and survive to the other side
The stars will reignite and once again they shall burn bright
