lyrics

Behold
The void
Ginnungagap
The beginning of time

Cold reigns in Niflheim
A frozen river flows

The realm of frozen mist
Colder than death itself

Fire rages in Muspelheim
Surtr’s burning world

Residence of fire giants
Realm of molten rock

When two realms collide;
The water of Niflheim

The fire of Muspelheim
The universe is born

Oh Ginnungagap
Endless abyss
Creator of the nine worlds
How can thy emptiness invoke
The creation of nine worlds?

Birth of the universe
Yggdrasil holding nine worlds
Born out of nothing
A collision of fire and ice

Excerpt from Gylfaginning 4:
Ár var alda,
þat er ekki var,
var-a sandr né sær
né svalar unnir;
jörð fannsk eigi
né upphiminn,
gap var Ginnunga,
en gras ekki.

And when Ragnarök will come
The end of the gods

The world will return
To the state of Ginnungagap

May there once more
Come a collision of fire and ice

To plant Yggdrasil’s seed
Spawn the nine worlds again
