Nine Worlds, One Tree versuri

Versuri Mehrune Dagon – Nine Worlds, One Tree lyrics

[Verse 1 – Midgard]
In the middle we stand, ringed by ocean and storm
Where men build their halls and children are born
The serpent coils silent far down in the deep
Guarding the edges while Midgarders sleep

[Verse 2 – Asgard]
Golden roofs gleam where the high ones hold court
Valhalla’s doors open, the einherjar sport
On Bifrost’s bright arc the Gods come and go
Heimdall stands watching through fire and snow

[Verse 3 – Vanaheim]
Green are the fields where the Vanir keep peace
Freyr lifts the sun and the harvests increase
Old magic lingers in river and stone
Here love is a law and the heart is enthroned

[Verse 4 – Alfheim]
Light never fades where the light-elves dance
Silver leaves shiver in luminous trance
Beauty so sharp it could cut like a blade
Time forgets mortals in Alfheim’s glade

[Verse 5 – Svartalfheim]
Deep under roots where the dark fires roar
The sons of the dwarf smith the finest of ore
Gold drips like blood from their hammering halls
Every ring that they make carries hunger and thrall

[Verse 6 – Jotunheim]
Mountainous giants in mist and in ice
Thrym steals the hammer and laughs once or twice
Stone hearts and storm-blood, old enemies dwell
Yet some of their daughters make Asgard’s gods swell

[Verse 7 – Niflheim]
Cold before cold had a name ever knew
Frost bites the void and the venom runs blue
Níðhöggr gnaws roots while the dead rivers freeze
Here winter was born on a venomous breeze

[Verse 8 – Muspelheim]
South of the gap the fire-realm glows
Surtr stands ready with flame for his foes
Sparks birth the stars when his sword sweeps the night
All things will burn when he marches to fight

[Verse 9 – Helheim]
Down beneath Náströnd where the pale queen holds sway
No songs reach the dead who lie silent and grey
Garm howls at the gates, the dishonored remain
Till the last horn blows and the worlds break again

[Outro]
Nine worlds, one tree, one doom drawing near
Raise the horn high and drink without fear.
