The gates are open All the barriers are weak - rotting in moonlight Whirling dance through ghostly dusk, in revel Solstice deftly frays the seams between The real, the elements, and mind Rippling footprints on the ethereal, trampled in green and gold, redirected Irradiant imprints, cryptic deceptions - to repel our enemies Ribbon of doubt lay beneath the outermost layers and spheres of thought Spun into a maze of deception Sword's cutting edge, all but invisible, crooning in frequency One in three to break, one in eight to bend Permutations flash and streak as lines written across the skies Sixteen heartbeats to repent or strike [Chorus] The gatekeepers slain, the keyholders taken A changing of guard The generals tamed, the ring-bearers broken A purging of gods Time set in crossing wormholes, cleverly wrought A curse written scarlet to displace the power of the gods Brilliant rays, weave thy working child of Tar Through the blackened threads of twilight receding Silver beam, refracted, splintering in memory Striking mirrors, throwing sparks - in delicate balance Paradigms cast in all directions A thousand eyes from shifting shadows Flowing skeins of imperfection, sickening ichor Welling up into churning shallows of gore [Chorus] [Chorus x2]

Heed my visions One-Eyed God By the Tree and Nine The forming of your kind And your ultimate demise [Chorus] For the life that burst into light (Reignited) From the void rose heroes and sages Then the Three arrived in the night (Uninvited) Held in their hands the fate of the ages Fate of the gods It began with the war against the Vanir God against god To sow the seeds of discord Flawed against flawed The Trickster will slay the Innocent Would you know more? Now chained he plots destruction Will you know more? Trapped in a pit held by his son's intestines Venom that drips into his eyes Nidhogg he feeds upon the roots of the Life-Tree Fenrir awaits the time to strike The fetters will break The Beast will run Brother kills brother kills father kills son Yggdrasil shakes Fires of Surtr consume it all burn it all away What of the Father? What of the Twelve? Jotunheim groans Dwarves gather for war in their halls of stone What of the Aesir? What of the Elves? Eagle of pale beak Wreaking destruction, ripping out the entrails of the weak What of the Father? What of the Twelve? Hel's sword generates the sun Crags topple, there's nowhere to run What of the Aesir? What of the Elves? [Chorus] We the Three Weavers of the thread Thy desire to transpire as we decree In the momentary silence The breath before the stand The armies gather for judgement By the Norns' unyielding hands I tell you this All-Father As fires scorch the skies Not a moment's hesitation The time has come to die Odin falls to the Wolf Freyr is slain by the Fire with a single stroke What of the ages? What of this place? Watcher takes the Trickster's head Torn asunder the Wolf lies bleeding dead What of our vengeance? What of our race? Thunder strikes at the Snake Both lie still in the deadly venom's wake What of the ages? What of this place? Earth sinks in the sea, sky turns black, Ragnarok, everything reduced to ash What of our vengeance? What of our race?
