Serpent's Jaw (versión 2)

Intro

(Hu! Ha!)

Serpent's jaw (Hu!) serpent's jaw (Ha!)

Verse 1

I was old when Ymir's blood became the sea

Saw the ash climb out of nothing, saw it reach for me

Down below, Nidhöggr gnaws the root in the dark

Every bite a drumbeat, every drumbeat leaves a mark

Pre-Chorus

Hear the root crack under here

I know the hour, I know the year

Chorus

Serpent's jaw, serpent's jaw (Hu! Ha!)

Biting through the world-tree's core

Serpent's jaw, serpent's jaw (Hu! Ha!)

Nine worlds shaking on this floor

Verse 2

Fimbulwinter shuts the sun inside a fist of snow

Jörmungandr drops his tail and lets the oceans go

Heimdall lifts the Gjallarhorn, I heard that note before

Naglfar slips its moorings, sailing for your shore

Pre-Chorus

Hear the root crack under here

I know the hour, I know the year

Chorus

Serpent's jaw, serpent's jaw (Hu! Ha!)

Biting through the world-tree's core

Serpent's jaw, serpent's jaw (Hu! Ha!)

Nine worlds shaking on this floor

Bridge – whispered

Just a crack

Just the sound

Not the fire

But the ground

I knew it then

I know it now

Let it bite

Here and now

Final Chorus

Serpent's jaw, serpent's jaw (Hu! Ha!)

Biting through the world-tree's core

Serpent's jaw, serpent's jaw (Hu! Ha!)

Nine worlds shaking on this floor

Outro

Nidhöggr bites, the ash tree falls (Hu! Ha!)

Serpent's jaw (Hu!) serpent's jaw (Ha!)
