As the Gods Succumbed

In the dawn of time

the golden age of peace

in Valhalla

will it ever come to an end?

The blows of destiny

brought down on their heads

tortured Gullveig

the cause of the first wars

Balder

now murdered

the beginning of the ordeal

the Twilight of the Gods

Era of warfare - hatred

valkyries range in battles

evil dreams - psychic torture

trouble the sleep of the Aesir

Before the body of Balder

the Aesir swear an oath

to avenge bitterly

the war broke out all over the Earth

Brother slay brother

eager to destroy each other

the world is going to sink

into the abyss of nothingness

All the great gods died in the field

the Earth sank beneath the sea

as it emerged from the waves

the dawn of a new generation was beginning...
