    For anybody who might be wondering...no, the 088 you see on the cassettes has absolutely nothing to do with racist/fascist bullshit, it is the Folkvangr catalogue number of this tape release...just a bad coincidence that the Norse mythology-themed project came up on that number! I've said it before and I'll say it again: Burden of Ymir is anti-racist and anti-fascist...you can listen in good conscience

lyrics

The titan's corpse provides all of the material
Odin and brothers crafting the world, a new branch they will now fill

Earth from flesh, mountains from bones
The red flowing blood becomes the sea within a new world unknown

Skullcraft sky with dwarven pillars
North, South, East, and West carry the burden above

And a new center raised up by Aesir
Lashing the lashes to craft the home
Enclosed by the giant's great brow

Descendents of mankind shall call this new world home
But they will not inhabit the great tree alone

The burden of Ymir, the greatest, the first to die
The world from his body, from his skull the sky

Oldest of giants taken down by the Aesir
Of this tale, all will someday hear
