Verse 1[edit]

A world built on honour, when lies are spoken
Will surely fall, and the word of the gods is broken
Deep calls to deep, the cock crows out of hell
The dead arise to meet the tolling bell

CHORUS[edit]

It's the Day of Wrath
It's here, it's Ragnarök
Götterdämmerung
The Twilight of the Gods

Verse 2[edit]

All fetters break, the Wolf is bound no more
The gods of Asgard gird themselves for war
For they must quell the darkling host of fiends
The Elder Ones who once ruled in time unseen

[CHORUS][edit]

Bridge[edit]

Out of the north a black ship swiftly sails
Its hull made out of dead men's fingernails
And at the helm the trickster grimly stands
He seeks revenge and soon will have his chance

The deaf'ning roar of death splits ope the sky
And from the gap comes lord of Muspelheim
His name is Surt, soot-black, with flaming sword
Behind him surges his vast demonic horde

Verse 3[edit]

The war now ends, the tree of life destroyed
The ancient dragon rises from the void
Then sinks back down, the world begins again
Mankind goes on, though pagan gods be slain

But on stormy nights, if you look to the sky
You will see a host of wild phantoms ride
Illumined by the lightning, and in their lead
Is One who rides upon an eight-legged steed

[CHORUS][edit]
