The bleak fimbul winter arrived   Raging across the world   With a fury that defied the memory of man   Terrible wars where fought,   the like had never been seen   Men slew without a thought   The ties of kinship were no more      Skoll and Hati, the ravenous wolves   Arose and devoured the sun and the moon   Darkness descended upon the earth   And the stars fell from the skies   Loud blows heimdall the horne's in the air   Odin quests the head of Mim   Now shakes the holy ash where it stands   The ancient tree moans, Fenris breaks free      How are the Aesir?   How are the Alves?   Loud sounds Joutunheim   Aesir comprise   By the stonedoors dwarfs are moaning   The mountains wise men   Know you now or not?      With his shield at hand   Hrym travels from the east   The serpant is turning, enormous in rage      The serpant breaks the waves   The eagle screams   Nidhoggs tearing corpses   Free comes Nagelfar      Loke leads the legions of the dead   In holy war   Against the justice made by Aesir
