Ragnarok on the Street (versión 2)

Verse 1

Concrete walls where the mead halls used to be

Iron gate, not a gate of gold — no horn signal for me

Every morning the runes are carved in smoke on the street

The fire giant's breath is just someone burning trash at midnight

Viking hip-hop, we don't need a horn section

Just the click of my jaw and the low end running rough

I'm Surtr of the corner store — torch to pay bills, not burn the world

Every night the kids cross over where I laid down my blade

They taste it but they forget fast that this ain't no Bifrost gate

I told them once before the frost forms I was already burning

Now they know — now they carry the weight that they're learning

Pre-Chorus

Before the battle, before the fire's lit — the debt runs deep

Odin spent his own eye on the runes, I just spend mine in sleep

No gods here, no hall — just the block and what it keeps — no silver thread

Every corner got a border and every border's bleeding

The giants aren't giants — they're just us when we wake with more to keep

So who's the first one across when the fire starts creeping?

I built this street before the gods built Valhalla's beam — we keep it going — nothing breaks what burns itself clean — nothing swallows — nothing sleeps

Chorus

Surtr walks slow through the frost like I walk slow on the corner

Before the end comes, everything that was born is burning

I hold the flame that lit this street not a world yet — no Ragnarok tomorrow — only today — and everyone got something left to keep — it ain't over — it ain't done — it's just the day — so come at me — I'm Surtr on the corner — I don't need a gate to open — just the block already burning — no Bifrost necessary — every blade that's drawn tonight is Surtr's legacy — nothing left for any of you — and if one of us makes it through — then Ragnarok ain't done — it's only the next sunrise — nothing else has ended yet

Verse 2

So when Heimdallr's horn don't sound — no fire to the sky

It's just a kid at closing time lighting up a lighter by and by

Freyr didn't trade his sword, he traded in for gold

The real debt ain't Odin's eye — it's every promise never told

Every battle fought tonight that keeps one soul awake — that's the new Bifrost — that's what Surtr woke — no hall built on the dead of a thousand kings — only the corner store — only this block — and when I'm gone they just keep running

Bridge

So who's the last one standing when Surtr walks slow through the frost?

It ain't Thor, it ain't Odin — it's not even Heimdallr at the gate — it's every kid that made it past the corner where he stood waiting — they're the new giants now and Ragnarok keeps on running — no end to this story yet — there's always a next door to burn down — the city never settles — nothing ever dies — only comes again when someone else steps in front of the flame
