The Poetic Edda Lyrics


[I: Premonition]

Sunset before plague and pestilence

Gnawing their tongues with nails and teeth

Anguish and vindication for their fate

Beneath the blackened sky

Legions of ice and decay gather and march forth

Everfrost rising from the depths

The dead shall soon roam the earth

[II: Siege]

I abide by the chaos we uphold

Execute thy will on thy liege

Watchman of the gods

Go forth, sound your horn

The final sun to rise before death foretold

Beyond the walls of this fortress

Beyond this chaos shield

The twilight of the gods awaits

It has arrived

The skies will weep with blood

The final stages of mankind are now at hand

We shall meet at the fields of warfare

Where claw will clash against steel

Open the gates

Unleash what lies within

Beyond the underworld he awaits our call

Take up arms and bring an end to the age of gods

Bring forth the slaughter, the serpents dissolve

This is where your life will cease to exist

[III: Wrath]

(Oh, great warriors from the wars before

Feeders of the raven, come forth

Bid farewell to this final bastion

Destiny awaits)

Forces of chaos are eagerly awaiting

Gjallarhorn transforms into its true form

The gates open wide

All realms run and hide

Take up arms and fight

Rise, my army of death

Reclaim your home

(At last, bring forth the end)

Wolf, don't you come near

His sickness has tolled, his burrow is cold

And still, he trots

Wolf, don't you come near

His hunger is tearing and he can not bear it

But still, he trots

Leper without a cure, crippled stillborn

Lifetimes of tragedy mine at your core

[IV: Ash]

[Ben Duerr/Shadow of Intent]

A kingdom consumed by flames

By divine obliteration

Darkness reigns as palaces burn and oceans run red

Only ash shall remain…

This final strife, o' gods of yore

Plunged into ice, sunk through the water

An ageless winter endures

Slicing through skin

Remorseless purging of life

Libertine-lust bastard of flesh

You will now end
