Call of the Damned versuri

Versuri Mehrune Dagon – Call of the Damned lyrics

[Spoken intro – low, ritual chant over war drums and distant horns]
From Hel’s cold gates… the nail-ship stirs
Built of dead men’s fingers and toes
Naglfar awakes…

[Verse 1 – harsh growled]
Iron nails from frozen graves
Ripped from the hands of the slain
The keel is laid with traitor spines
The sail woven from widow’s pain
Muspel’s fire licks the sky
The wolf-age ends tonight
Gjallarhorn splits the air
The dead hear the call and rise!

[Pre-chorus – half-sung, rising]
Across the black and boiling sea
The giants laugh, the Gods now flee
A thousand years of chains undone
Ragnarök has now begun!

[Chorus – massive clean gang-shouts, anthemic]
Naglfar! Naglfar!
Ship of nails, bearer of doom
Naglfar! Naglfar!
Carrying the corpse-legions through the storm
Hear the call – the call of the damned!
Dead men march to the final stand!
Naglfar comes – the world will end!
Raise the dead and sail again!

[Verse 2 – growled]
Loki stands at the blood-soaked helm
Grinning through his scars
Surtr swings his flaming sword
Burning heaven’s golden stars
The draugr claw from flooded barrows
Spewing brine and rot
Frost giants roar on Jötun waves
The serpent wakes – the sun is not!

[Pre-chorus – higher, frantic]
Midgard drowns, the Bifrost breaks
The wolf devours the moon
Fimbulwinter’s final breath
Becomes the funeral tune!

[Chorus – even bigger]
Naglfar! Naglfar!
Black sails tear the northern sky
Naglfar! Naglfar!
The dead have come, and all must die
Hear the call – the call of the damned!
Corpse-horde rises from the sand!
Naglfar comes – the world will end!
Brothers, fight until the end!

[Bridge – slow, crushing, spoken over clean choir]
And when the last shield is splintered
And when the last raven falls
The ship of nails will sink in fire
And silence will claim us all…

[Final Chorus – full blast, keys and war horns blazing]
Naglfar! Naglfar!
We sail to death, we sail to war
Naglfar! Naglfar!
The damned have answered the final call!
Hear the call – the call of the damned!
One last charge on Vigrid’s Plain!
Naglfar burns – the world is gone!
Hail the end – hail Ragnarök!

[Outro – fading war drums and howling wind]
Naglfar… Naglfar…
The nails are ash… the dead are free…
