Hvergelmir

Like a never-ending stream
To the river of the dead
Like a never-ending stream
To the well of all fates.

In the darkest of nights
In my weakness I lied
By the serpent of greed
And cold sense of fear
In my heart a black hole
In your heart wounded faith
I have your blood on my hands
And your lips, lost for words.

I awoke from this night
And myself I despised
I remember a time
When honour was mine
I turned to my Gods
Whom I failed on this night
Guide me the way
To repent for my sin.

Hvergelmir
Take me instead
Hvergelmir
To the dragon’s nest
Hvergelmir
I wish I could change your fate
Hvergelmir
I’m not afraid
Hvergelmir
Take me instead
Hvergelmir
To the dragon’s nest
Hvergelmir
I wish I could change your fate
Hvergelmir
Hear my cries.

From my heart
I would give you the world
But my sins
Stains
My tearful eyes
And on my knees
I will bear witness
To your demise.

I close my eyes
To the cold my path lies.

Like a never-ending stream
To the river of the dead
Like a never-ending stream
To the well of all fates.

I drift among the dead
Silent stream to the land below.

Hvergelmir
Take me instead
Hvergelmir
To the dragon’s nest
Hvergelmir
I wish I could change your fate
Hvergelmir
I’m not afraid
Hvergelmir
Take me instead
Hvergelmir
To the dragon’s nest
Hvergelmir
I wish I could change your fate
Hvergelmir
Hear my cries.
