Helheim - Dark, Eternal Winter lyrics

In the time of origin there was nothing, not sand, not sea or cool waves

earth and heaven did not exist, just Ginnunga-gap, and grass nowhere

From a primitive creature of Giant- race, the cold world was made

Frost giants command the cold, the dark and black power

Long days and cruel years will someday arrive, for man’s time in Midgard is at an end

The shall wander into the gloomy darkness. Into the flames and chaos they can not endure

Frost giants will rejoice at the ecstasy of madness. They will become the worlds new,

most powerful race

They will guard the peasents of the world pillage, kill and condemn

To the North lies the castle

of over a thousand giants

They look towards the land

Where everything will be lit afire

War of time

Dark, eternal winter

Tortured in Slid

people there suffer

For the giants battle has begun, against what man has proclaimed

Here, the dark fate will triumphant, for here the Frost giants will celebrate

Dark, eternal winter

Swords, axes and large hammers will sound. Screams and howls sing like in Nivlheim

The blood of giants & men will flow through the land, and the smoke of burnt forests‘

rises in a black vapour

Frost giants fight like mad wolves while men flee like frightened sheep

The giants‘ power has left its mark. On a once green and beautiful land

No lives are spared after this last war, for here all will die in the worst possible way

Women and men, all shall suffer, to Nivlheim through Slid they’re tortured

In the time of origin there was nothing, not sand, not sea or cool waves

But now there is darkness, cold and eternal winter, for the Frost giants have

conquered the world

To the North lies the castle, of over a thousand giants

They look towards the wastelands, where everything is lit afire

For the giants‘ battle has been won, man has disappeared

Here the dark fate has triumphed, and the Frost giants have celebrated

Dark, eternal winter
