Following on the opening song of the album, this song tells the story of Loki’s final demise. In Ragnarok, the final battle of the gods, Loki will return on a ship filled with ghosts and engage in a brutal single combat with Heimdall, the immortal guardian of Asgard’s rainbow bridge. The two will...
[Verse 1]
Heimdall gazes east
A sail has caught his eye
He lifts his hand and sounds the horn
The undead army has arrived
Here comes Nagelfar
With Laufey's son on board
He brings chaos, hate and wrath
He brings the war to end all wars
[Verse 2]
Heimdall knows his fate
The end of all nine worlds
It's what the Vala has foreseen
He knows that everything shall burn
Facing Lopt's deceit
Now they finally meet
The champion and his enemy
On Vigrid's plains they'll find defeat
[Bridge]
Their swords meet in a mighty clash
War cries sound, horns they blast
Their eager weapons whip and thrash
This day when all shall end
The lords of war are equal strong
This battle frantic and forlorn
The blades sing a macabre song
This day when all shall end
[Outro]
Heimdall's blade bites burning sharp
As it cuts through flesh and bone
Blood comes gushing from the wound
As Loke's head falls tumbling, rolling
To the burning ground
