Twilight of the Thunder God
Amon Amarth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His jaws are open wide
The serpent rises from the waves
Jormundgandr twists and turns
Mighty in his wrath
The eyes are full of primal hate
Thor Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Rise to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor Hlôdyn's son
Protector of mankind
Rise to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits
Vingthor rides to face
The snake with hammer high
At the edge of the world
Bolts of lightning fills the air
As Mjölner does its work
The dreadful serpent roars in pain
Thor Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Rise to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor Hlôdyn's son
Protector of mankind
Rise to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits
Mighty Thor grips the snake
Firmly by it's tongue
Lifts his hammer high to strike
Soon his work is done
Vingtor sends the giant snake
Bleeding to the depth
Twilight of the thunder god
Ragnarök awaits
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Thor Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Rise to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor Hlôdyn's son
Protector of mankind
Rise to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits
The lyrics to "Twilight of the Thunder God" by Amon Amarth describe the epic battle between Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and Jormungandr, the serpent that is one of Loki's children. Fenris' twin is Jormungandr, who rises from the waves to face Thor. The serpent is described as mighty in its wrath, with eyes full of primal hate. Thor, known as Odin's son and protector of mankind, rises to meet his fate and destiny, to face Jormungandr at the edge of the world.
As Thor and Jormungandr meet in battle, bolts of lightning fill the air, and Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, does its work, causing the dreadful serpent to roar in pain. Thor grips the snake firmly by its tongue, lifts his hammer high to strike, and soon his work is done. Vingtor, another name for Thor, sends the giant snake bleeding to the depths, signaling the coming of Ragnarok, the end of the world.
The lyrics of the song illustrate the Norse myth of the battle between Thor and Jormungandr at the end of the world, known as Ragnarok. The main theme is the impending doom of the end times, as the constant fighting between gods and giants finally comes to a head. The battle between Thor and Jormungandr is particularly significant, as it marks the end of both characters' stories and the beginning of a new era.
