The bleak fimbul winter arrived raging across the world
With a fury that defied the memory of man
Terrible wars were fought, the like has never been seen
Men slew without a thought, the ties of kinship were no moreSkoll and Hati, the ravenous wolves
Arose and devoured the son and the moon
Darkness descended upon the earth
And the stars fell from the skiesLoud blows Heimdall's horns in the air
Odin quests, the head of Mim
Now shakes the holy ash where it stands
The ancient tree moans, Fenris breaks freeHow are the Aesir? How are the Alves?
Loud sounds Jotunheim, Aesir conspire
By the stone doors dwarf's are moaning
The mountains wise men, know you now or not?With his shield in hand, Hrym travels from the east
The serpent is turning, enormous in rage
The serpent breaks the waves, the eagle screams
Nidhogg's tearing corpses, free comes NaglfarLoke leads
The legions of the dead
In holy war
Against the justice done by Aesir[Incomprehensible]
