lyrics

The Vala had once foretold the coming of an age
Where brother fights his own blood and lines end disgraced
An age when the gods will turn their backs on mankind
And all will end with blood and bones scattered across the land

Fimbulvetr has come and gone a sign of the end
The gods will fight all shall die in darkness we descend

Then the wolf shall swallow whole the sun and the moon
And all worlds will fall into the ever darkened nights
The skies will be set ablaze the only sight to see
And then begins as prophesied the war to end all wars

The giants march on to the gates of Asgard
All of those in hall up high ready to defend

The battle claims the life of all
Gods and men lie on the ground
The bloodshed can be heard and seen
From the worlds below

The einherjar are deep in fight
Vígríðr is stained in blood
The giants are pushing forth
To the ends of the earth

---------------------------------------------------
The sun turns black, earth sinks in the sea
The hot stars down from heaven are whirled
Fierce grows the steam and the life feeding flame
Till fire leaps high about the heavens itself

Now Garm howls loud before Gnipahellir
The fetters will burst and the wolf run free
Much do I know and more can see
Of the fate of the gods the mighty in fight
---------------------------------------------------

The warfare starts to take its toll
Fall the gods from either side
With a crashing sound above
The heavens begin to fall
The heavens begin to fall


Odin is swallowed whole by the wolf Fenrir
Thor and the great serpent fight to the end
Freyr wages war with the Jötunn Surtr
Surtr swings the mighty sword and Freyr is no more

The sun turns black and then the earths sink into the sea
The heavens are engulfed with flames lighting up the sky
There are no stars to be seen in this final night
All has come as foretold nothing will remain

The gods are dead the worlds destroyed but somehow there is hope
The earth begins to rise out from the oceans it was in

Now the sun returns to the sky overhead
Light shines through out the land illuminating
The earth is now covered in grass and in trees
A rebirth has happened here in the aftermath

The gods reborn now convene and discuss this earth
The hall of gold reappears and is now restored
Baldr has been reborn and he looks to the sky
And goes to the gods above in their golden hall

---------------------------------------------------
And thus comes to pass
The saga foretold by the ancient seers
Who see all that is, was, and is to be
The Twilight of the Gods
The end of days
The rebirth of the world
And the gods that rule over it
Völuspá
---------------------------------------------------
