Asgaard
12:55
|
|
||
The roots of life lie embodied
Underneath the spring of urd
Here fate has its source
Guarded by the three norns
Urd, verdandi, skuld
With only one eye
Between them
Home of the aesir gods
Odin & frigg
Rulers of the realm
Enter through the single gate
Across the bridge of bi-frost
Thick walls surround this place
To protect against the burning flames
Valhalla lies in the planes of vigrid
Celebration halls of fallen warriors
Only the strong will make it through here
Training in battle for the final days
The bridge lays guarded
Built from earthly elements
Fire to burns thee weak
A valkyries journey through the sky's
With there help to cross to asgard
And to pass through heimdalls towers

Vanirheim
09:17
|
|
||
Home of thee elders
Cast out by the aesir
For worship of the ancient gods
Masters of sorcery and prophecies
Years of war descended
Captured aeons on both sides
Peace reigned upon the kingdoms
Darkness turning to a bitter light
Gods returned to their worlds
Still deceit remand
Honir was slained by the vanir
Who sent the head back to the enemy's
Fears this action would return the darkness of war
Gods stood down to join these worlds as one
|

Alfheim
09:58
|
|
||
A land of light
Residing at the highest point
Guardians to freyr
The god of the sun
With knowledge of nature
They decide mans fate
|

Midgaard
09:18
|
|
||
Enter the plain of our existence
A gift from the gods
Fortresses are built
To protect us from jotun
This is the dwelling place for humanity
An ocean engoulfs this world
Home to the world serpent jormungand
Spawn of the trickster loki
Under the ocean floor he awaits
Biting his tail
Trapping man within its coils
The final battle is nearing
For the serpent of midgaard will fall
|

Nidavelir
08:51
|
|
||
Enter the dark fields
A place of un-light
Dwelling
beneath the earth
Masters of the arts
Servants to the gods
These creatures forge the pieces
For the use of the higher realms
Ruled by the king
Hreidmar
|

7. |
Jotunheim
06:48
|
|
||
Home of the jotun
Sworn enemy of the Aesir
A hatred between gods
As odin slain the first giant
His body creating our worlds
A world covered in the forest of time
Separated by the un-freezing rivers
Lying in the snow covered regions
Over the oceans, the well of wisdom lies
Beneath the roots of Yggdrasil
The castle of utgard can be seen
A stronghold of giants
were there is no end
Carved from the snow and ice
There, the jotun king awaits
|

Svartalfheim
05:35
|
|
||
In the murky underground
They dwell
Hideous abominations of worlds
Mischief follows these creatures
Bringing nightmare visions
In their midst
The haunters of the dream world
Cursed by the darkness
No longer
Could they see the rising sun
For a death in stone
Awaits the demons
|
||||

Helheim
07:32
|
|
||
Filled with the spirits of cowards
Ruled by the monstrous vixen Hel
A world of bitter coldness & dark
The exiled live for an eternity of suffering
Surrounded by the river of Gjoll
Not even the gods can leave this place
Up the blackened path to hel
Lay the gates to a freezing realm
Guarded by a deathly hound
Garm
On the edge of the world sits Hraesvelg
Overlooking the darkness and ice
In the shape of an eagle he waits
With his wings, he makes the wind blow cold
In the midst of dark, light
In the midst of death, life
In the midst of chaos, order
In the midst of order, chaos
In the midst of life, death
In the midst of light, dark
Thus has it ever been
Thus it is now
And thus shall it ever be
|

Nifleheim
08:31
|
|
||
In the dark cold mist
The first creation lies
Ancient wells protected by the dragon Nidhug
Cold rivers run, flowing throughout the worlds
These icy waves existed in nifleheim at the beginning
The origin of all living
A place where all living things shall return
Yggdrassil grew to the sky, placing its roots in the guarded wells
This is the home of the un worthy
of valhalla
Suffering for all eternity
In the bitter cold
Descending to the lowest point
Beneath the roots of our world
