dirge of baldr

Sing lamentations for light extinguished
The morning sun laid sallow
Our beloved prince

Magnificent sorrow
Death waxing glorious
Our hearts’ deathbed
Grieving a martyr

Laid to rest
In the dying light

This deception of tranquility
Shake the world-tree to its roots
The fuse has been lit
Waiting for the powder keg to alight

The old times have passed
We bear the burden of this Age
This Paradise of Fools at an end
In the dying light

Break the curse
Alight on the field
Loose all chains

A thousand years of poison
Spat back in your face

Stare into the abyss
Embrace the darkness
Let Jörmungandr arise

Deliver the killing blow
Fulgor laid to rest
The twilight of the gods

Sing lamentations for light extinguished
The morning sun laid sallow
Our beloved prince

Magnificent sorrow
Death waxing glorious
Our hearts’ deathbed
Grieving a martyr

Laid to rest
In the dying light

Benighted Hades
An ominous portent
Anguish reverberates
Abandon your hope

Beauty’s remains
Entombed in silent tears
The golden age at an end

Break the curse
Alight on the field
Loose all chains

A thousand years of poison
Spat back in your face

Stare into the abyss
Embrace the darkness
Let Jörmungandr arise

Deliver the killing blow
Fulgor laid to rest
The twilight of the gods

Sing lamentations for light extinguished
The morning sun laid sallow
Our beloved prince

Magnificent sorrow
Death waxing glorious
Our hearts’ deathbed
Grieving a martyr

Laid to rest
In the dying light

In the dying light

Break the curse
Alight on the field
Loose all chains

A thousand years of poison
Spat back in your face

Stare into the abyss
Embrace the darkness
Let Jörmungandr arise

Deliver the killing blow
Fulgor laid to rest
The twilight of the gods

The final impasse
Under blood red skies
Advancing to the terminus
Fate unyielding
The winds of battle blowing
To the autumn of our destiny
A world of suffering’s final breath
The age of gods at an end

As we mourn
In the dying light
