Until Ragnarok Lyrics

Once to awaken

Twice to incite

Thrice to again be cast from the light

3

I will perish with my proudest foe

Find defeat in my victory

The blackened sky turned over, spilling oceans upon us all I will drift into that darkness unafraid

Might slipping from my grasp, from my body I will find bravery without superiority

Strength without will

Will without proof

2

I will be poisoned, and deny a life as such

1

Our collective arrogance will crawl from fiery pits to avenge its humanity

A humanity stripped by its clawed, flailing hatred of us

A humanity I defend, encourage, and love

I will fail weakened, tired, and bruised

But until then, I will ever land blows to those who sew doubt, disillusion, and fear

Those who would manipulate with these deadly strings urging an ugly growth

They will not find rain from my soul rather lightning from my eyes

Thunder between their ears

They will know why a hammer is and why storms are revered so

Once to awaken

Twice to incite

Thrice to again be cast from the night

There is evil in this world

Whispers from poisoned ghosts that grip grudge like clubs

Hands that know not touch

Haunted dreams that pass beneath them

Visions they feel no connection or responsibility to

One must let go to let in but they have forgotten how

You can remember

Retrace your mind to innocence

There is time, your calloused heart still beats

There is warmth in your veins, so can there be ease in your mind

But you must let go

If you can not

Should your hands become limbs of a tree that bears loss

Should cold reach your epitome, your heart beat metallic, and your eyes glaze over deepest despondent

Should you forget the hallows of this place, commit that emptiness upon innocence

And forget who keeps watch

You will know why lightning strikes

Once to awaken

Twice to incite

Thrice to again be cast from the light

In the final destiny of the gods, I will fall

My hammer relinquished to the two ancient trees

A seed until the new firstspring when the gaping darkness inhales again

I pray the two grow to strongest light through the darkest soil of firmament

To a mighty star with grip enough to grasp and heart enough to heal

I pray with every strike of myself, every effort of my will

That it be as such

As I am

Until Ragnarok
