Eclipse of Iron (версия 2)

Verse

Odin's raven left at dawn with the news untold — (untold)

Ragnarök horizon crawling in from cold

Burning forests choke the sky with smoke and ash

The end of all things waits — that's what I'm taught

I train on the wall, I sharpen every day

Eyes on the gate where Surtr's fire-army will sway

Brothers falling left and right through every door

This is Valhöll practice for the last battle more

I drink from Heiðrún's horn with its golden light — (light)

Wash the weight of fate from my warrior's sight

Pre-Chorus

Ragnarök arrives like a storm to the sea —

Ragnarök arrives, we're ready!

Fire and steel — this is what I was made for —

Fire and steel — give me your glory once more

Hear the horns of Gjallarblíð in my mind now —

Hear the horns — nothing's left to leave behind

Chorus

Eclipse of iron, burning up the sky (iron)

The end of everything and I'm ready to fly (fly) —

Iron curtain falling slow across the field —

Valhöll army marching where the ash-cloud yields (ash-cloud yields!

Verse

Frodi's well runs dry — the Norns have written my name — (name)

Baldur's light is extinguished, darkness claims the frame

Hel's gates creak open like a mouth about to eat — (eat) - 0:16

All that's left for me and mine is this final beat

So I hold up the shield that was made by my hand — (hand)

This is the end of all things but not the last stand

I look at Bragi as he falls, his words unfinished

I tell him keep the poetry alive in death's unconscious

Kvasir's well runs dry too — no more truth to say — (say) - 1:10

But I give him my battle-cry for what we'll bring today —

So let the fire come and consume every line

Pre-Chorus

Ragnarök arrives like a storm to the sea —

Ragnarök arrives, we're ready!

Fire and steel — this is what I was made for —

Fire and steel — give me your glory once more

Hear the horns of Gjallarblíð in my mind now —

Hear the horns — nothing's left to leave behind

Chorus

Eclipse of iron, burning up the sky (iron)

The end of everything and I'm ready to fly (fly) —

Iron curtain falling slow across the field —

Valhöll army marching where the ash-cloud yields (ash-cloud yields!

Bridge

No more swords in Valhöll — only ash and bone now —

This is the moment Odin's chosen ones are found

I turn my back on what once was, I look at what will be —

A world reborn from nothing, that's how it's supposed to be —

So let the fire take everything but me today — (today) - 2:14

I'm already dying in this moment as a warrior —

Let me leave with honor and my name unsullied
