Hear the echo
Of the catastrophe
Wiping out life and joy
Reducing our hearts to lumps of coal!
Bringing forth the darker skies upon the world
Feel the sorrow of the universe
Join its mourning, wail with me
Repeat, repeat: Murder! Weep!
So who shall step forth
Loyal and brave?
Take on the journey (journey)
To the doleful land
To beyond the grave
To the land of the dead
Ride my faithful steed, ride!
Carry him who is pure of the heart and mind
Guide him to the throne of Hel, guide!
Implore her to release our beloved
Hermóðr steps forth
Loyal and brave
Sets on the journey (journey)
To the doleful land
To beyond the grave
To the land of the dead
Nine nights like the army rides
Through grim valleys under darker skies
Footfalls thunder on the cold rough road
At the boundary of Hel he must stop
Knives flow through the icy waters of Gjöll
Crystal bridge arched with gold
Hung without support
Where Maiden Móðguðr stood
Fleshless, with shroud and pall bedight
Waiting to take the toll of blood
Why seek passage into Hel’s abode
When your face bears colors of life?
Hel holds closely many souls with her
Not one left, but I urge you to try!
You can’t bargain with death
Fate will find you anywhere
Now that you came all this way
Let’s play the game, delight me my friend!
