Jörmungandr

Jörmungandr – The Midgard Serpent of Norse Mythology Beneath of the ocean lies an ancient being, a symbol of wholeness and transformation. Lyrics: In the black sea trench He coils below the ice A ring around the world With venom in his eyes The old gods named him doom The fishermen went pale When the water cracked apart They heard the serpent trail Round and round he turns Around the bones of earth Every wave remembers What his shadow’s worth Jörmungandr, rise Jörmungandr, bite Bite the rim of Midgard In the dead of night Jörmungandr, rise Jörmungandr, roar When the sky goes split in two He comes back for more Thor came with his hammer On a black-foam tide Hooked that endless monster Then the sea ran wild Bells in the deep rang out Salt and iron flew Every broken star above Looked down and watched them duel Round and round he turns The world is in his chain If he lets it go Nothing stays the same Jörmungandr, rise Jörmungandr, bite Bite the rim of Midgard In the dead of night Jörmungandr, rise Jörmungandr, roar When the sky goes split in two He comes back for more Hear the prophecy The last cold trumpet call Thor falls with the serpent And the oceans stall Ash on the horizon Runes in the foam Brother meets the monster At the end of home Jörmungandr, rise Jörmungandr, bite Bite the rim of Midgard In the dead of night Jörmungandr, rise Jörmungandr, roar When the sky goes split in two He comes back for more Jörmungandr, rise Jörmungandr, bite World-ring, sea-king End of light
