The Runes of Hel

Through the land of death, barren and mute Along dim laden valleys through solids and shadows Ashen paths, unreachable grey Light was none, cease the day Sound of steady tread, onward Heluäg rode Accompanied by the echoes of thousands upon thousands dead Hel... The tempest and the toil Hel... The ones of those who set soil Hel... Onward to the misery hall Hel... Where the dishonored dead reside The dead silent staring along the way With impotent rage, a fruitless current Helgrind... Behold, enfold the dying Encirled hall, dreary abode Of nine days worth, down nine dark nights World after world, the dead set alight Of nine days worth, down nine dark nights World after world, travel the Giallarbro Hel... The tempest and the toil Hel... The ones of those who set soil Hel... Onward to the misery hall Hel... Where the dishonored dead reside The final hearth and the final home Your death and what lies after With embracing arms, welcome all No matter the flaws, the fears, the crimes Drawn is the border of the pending life Crossed is the river Giöll... And we shall sing, sing until the end of time Every man and women must come into the halls The young ones and the old ones will never let you go Unite us with the ones that went before And we shall sing, sing until the end of time Every man and women must come into the halls The young ones and the old ones will never let you go Unite us with the ones that went before Plague and famine Sang their runes The last stand The twilight of the Gods Of nine days worth, down nine dark nights World after world, the dead set alight Of nine days worth, down nine dark nights World after world, travel the Giallarbro Plague and famine Sang their runes The last stand The twilight of the Gods
