Verse I: The dawn of all times, Fathers of all glory Gods and warriors, their world was our haven Then came the bloody war, the bringer of mystery A priorly never known strife, a root to obscurity Raise your swords, your mysterious weapons Your beaten gold helmets and majestic summons Battlefields shall bear the bloodshed Meadows once green, now red The mighty wall into dust Defend Asgard , we must Through the deafening thud From foes sparing no blood
Chorus: Such spoke the raven, for it tells no lies Gullveig was once slaughtered in the land of ice Revenge, Mimir was beheaded, so died the wise Furious Gods, wisely blinded, revenge at any price
Verse II: Such uttered the bear; a hideous war was up to call Sublime spears thrown in the sacred hall Much blood wasted, neither Asgard nor Vanaheim will fall Sorrows of endless loss, both realms shall bear For it’s better to mourn ones loved so dear Than endure grievances of shameful defeat With an unfair trade it came to an end And thus the end brought again a new life All for the Eternal divine land Brothers were stabbed by the fate's knife
Chorus: Such spoke the raven, for it tells no lies Gullveig was once slaughtered in the land of ice Revenge, Mimir was beheaded, so died the wise Furious Gods, wisely blinded, revenge at any price
Verse III: Day after day it became clear to me What a witch once said, she have clearly seen Gods are no longer where have they been Prayers lost everywhere, drawn in the bottom of the sea Greed can never be the right path Blindfolded anger is the first step of the endless rage
