Ragnarok
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - thunderous double-kick drums, ominous synth swells, growled chants building tension]
Flames rise, worlds collide
Gods fall, the end arrives
[Verse 1 - chugging palm-muted guitars, aggressive mid-range vocals, driving snare hits]
Skies crack open, rivers run red
Fenrir breaks free, devours the dead
Heimdall blows the horn, the signal is sent
Valhalla trembles, judgment descent
[Pre-Chorus - rising guitar harmonics, layered gang shouts, accelerating tempo]
The wheel turns, no escape from the fire
Twilight ignites, feed the pyre
[Chorus - explosive full-band assault, soaring dual-lead guitars, anthemic clean vocals with harsh overlays]
Ragnarok! Thunder roars, axes clash
Blood on the snow, empires crash
Ragnarok! Fenrir's jaws, Odin's last stand
Burn it all down, seize the damned!
[Verse 2 - thrashy riff breakdown, rapid-fire barked vocals, blast beat undercurrents]
Surtr swings his sword, engulfs the nine
Loki laughs wild, twists the divine
Jormungandr coils, poisons the sea
Midgard quakes, humanity's plea
[Pre-Chorus - tension buildup with dissonant chords, echoing vocal ad-libs, snare rolls]
The wheel turns, no mercy in the fight
Apocalypse calls through the endless night
[Chorus - explosive full-band assault, soaring dual-lead guitars, anthemic clean vocals with harsh overlays, crowd chant backing]
Ragnarok! Thunder roars, axes clash
Blood on the snow, empires crash
Ragnarok! Fenrir's jaws, Odin's last stand
Burn it all down, seize the damned!
[Bridge - half-time stomp, crushing low-end guitars, spoken-word growls evolving to screams, orchestral swells]
From the ashes... new blood will rise
Cycle eternal... no compromise
(Shatter the chains! Rebirth the flame!)
[Final Chorus / Breakdown - maximum chaos, whammy-bar dives, triple-tracked roars, mosh-pit tempo blast]
Ragnarok! (Ragnarok!) Worlds collide and shatter
Ragnarok! Gods bleed, nothing matters
Ragnarok! Rise from the pyre's glow
Ragnarok! Eternal war, let the fury flow!
[Outro - fading war horns, collapsing reverb guitars, distant thunderous drums, final echoing scream]
Ragnarok... Ragnarok... fades to dust
