Ragnarök

Ragnarök, released on January 31, 2019, is an original song inspired by the Poetic Edda. It’s telling the story about the end of life, but also about a new beginning. In the Old Norse way of thinking people have always seen life as a moving cycle. Something has to die to be reborn again.

Lyrics

Sól tér sortna, sígr fold í mar

hverfa af himni heiðar stjörnur

X2
Þar kemr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi
Þar kemr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi

fjölð veit ek fræða fram sé ek lengra
um ragna rök römm sigtíva

X2
Þar kemr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi
Þar kemr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi
Þar kemr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi
Þar kemr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi

The sun turns black, earth sinks in the sea,
The hot stars down, from heaven are whirled

X2
From below the dragon, dark comes forth
From below the dragon, dark comes forth

Much do I know, and more can see
Of the fate of the Gods, the mighty in fight.

X2
From below the dragon, dark comes forth
From below the dragon, dark comes forth
From below the dragon, dark comes forth
From below the dragon, dark comes forth
