Icarus at Ragnarok (버전 2)

Verse

The wingspan of my armor feels too thin

Beneath the black-gold clouds where gods let go again

I recall a thousand names from before I flew

This world already ended when I knew I was alive

Iron rain is falling on a land it doesn't own

Cities burning where no battle's ever known

Ragnarok is old — but my name still holds its weight

I am the only hero left to sing this final fate

Every star above me has already fallen in half

The wolves of Nidhöggr know I'm not averse to death at last

My heart remembers joy as if it never knew regret

But I can see the ash-lands rising from beneath our feet

Pre-Chorus

So what remains of everything that I have loved

How long does courage linger when the world's already lost above?

Hold this breath — I'll sing it loud — because nothing else remains

The only flame left burning in a world gone blind in pain

Chorus

Icarus falls into Ragnarok alone tonight

Every wing I had was borrowed from the dying light

Still I spread my arms for glory, still I roar and ignite

The end is beautiful this way — at least I'm not afraid to die

Let every god that built me watch what heroism requires

I fly my funeral fire straight into Odin's burning pyre

Verse

Heimdall hears the crash of armor on his wall — one less shield

Freyr weeps beside the body he forgot could bleed at all

Surtr and Jörmungandr are already standing in the ash

This is how it ends when nobody survives to ask why we were not rash

Sif's golden hair still shines through the smoke that I've become

My voice remembers every battle my brothers sang before they fell — undone

I built this moment for myself — no one else will tell me wrong

I stand at the border of a world where gods go blind and numb

Pre-Chorus

So what remains of everything that I have loved

How long does courage linger when the world's already lost above?

Hold this breath — I'll sing it loud — because nothing else remains

The only flame left burning in a world gone blind in pain

Chorus

Icarus falls into Ragnarok alone tonight

Every wing I had was borrowed from the dying light

Still I spread my arms for glory, still I roar and ignite

The end is beautiful this way — at least I'm not afraid to die

Let every god that built me watch what heroism requires

I fly my funeral fire straight into Odin's burning pyre

Bridge

Not everyone who burns goes out in vain

Odin's ravens will remember names I gave again

No matter how it ends — I'd rather go this way

For just one night, the darkness sees a light that won't decay

Chorus

Icarus falls into Ragnarok alone tonight

Every wing I had was borrowed from the dying light

Still I spread my arms for glory, still I roar and ignite

The end is beautiful this way — at least I'm not afraid to die

Let every god that built me watch what heroism requires

I fly my funeral fire straight into Odin's burning pyre
