Lyrics:
Hearing I ask from all the tribes Greater and lesser, the offspring of Heimdall; Father of the Slain, you wished me well to declare Living beings’ ancient stories, those I remember From furthest back Early in time Ymir made his settlement There was no sand nor sea nor cool waves; Earth was nowhere nor the sky above A void of yawning chaos, grass was there nowhere The sun turns black, land sinks into the sea The bright stars vanish from the sky; Steam rises up in the conflagration Hot flame plays high against heaven itself Brother will fight brother and be his slayer Sister’s sons will violate the kinship-bond The ancient tree groans and the giant gets loose Yggdrasill shudders, the tree standing upright Now Garm bays loudly before Gnipa-cave The fetter will break and the ravener run free Much wisdom she knows, I see further ahead To the mighty Doom of the Gods, of the Victory-gods She sees, coming up a second time Earth from the ocean, eternally green; The waterfalls plunge, an eagle soars above them Over the mountain hunting fish A hall she sees standing, fairer than the sun Thatched with gold, at Gimle; There the noble fighting-bands will dwell And enjoy the days of their lives in pleasure
