And Soon the World Will Cease To Be
Amon Amarth Lyrics

The northern wind brings snow and ice
The arrival of the Fimbul winter brings cold conditions associated with snow and ice.

Humans starve and freeze
Humans are unable to find enough food, making it difficult for them to survive in these harsh conditions.

The Fimbul winter has arrived
The apocalyptic winter that signals the end of the world has come.

And soon the world will cease to be
The end of the world is imminent and inevitable.

Brother will be brother's bane
People will turn on each other, even siblings, leading to widespread violence and death.

No one shall be spared
Everyone will be affected by the end of the world, and nobody will be able to escape it.

All will die, none remain
The end of the world will result in the death of all living beings, leaving none behind.

The southern sphere is set ablaze
Muspel's fire has been unleashed in the southern sky, causing intense flames and destruction.

The sun is on its final chase
The sun is being pursued by a wolf and will soon be devoured, signaling the end of the world.

Across the western sky he runs
The wolf is running across the sky from east to west, chasing the sun.

A wolf so grim and mean
The wolf is fierce and dangerous, embodying the destructive force that will bring about the end of the world.

Devours the eternal sun
The wolf catches up with the sun and consumes it, extinguishing its light and heat forever.

The north star falls from the sky
One of the most prominent stars in the sky falls down to the earth, signaling further destruction and chaos.

Into the deep cold sea
The star falls into the sea, demonstrating the depth and severity of the destruction.

The first of all to fall and die
The fall of the north star is the first in a series of catastrophic events that will lead to the end of the world.

Muspel's flames lick the sky
The intense heat and flames from Muspel are filling the sky, causing widespread destruction and devastation.

Hidhægg eats the dead
The celestial dragon that resides beneath the world tree Yggdrasil is feasting on the dead, adding to the horror of the scene.

The Aesir meet in hall up high
The gods of Norse mythology gather in the high hall, preparing for the final battle that will decide the fate of the world.

And Odin 'quests Mimer's head
Odin seeks out the head of Mimir, the wise god who can provide him with knowledge and advice for the upcoming battle.

Land is swallowed by the waves
The oceans and seas rise up and consume large portions of the land, flooding and destroying everything in their path.

Rocks and mountains break
The geological features of the earth are shattered and broken apart, further adding to the end of the world scenario.

Dead men on the path to Hell
The dead are traveling towards the underworld, their souls destined to be trapped there forever.

And Yggdrasil quakes
Even the world tree, which supports all of creation, is shaking and trembling in the face of the impending apocalypse.

From the east comes a ship
A demonic army led by Loki arrives from the east, contributing to the final battle.

Loki holds the oar
Loki is steering the demonic ship, showing his allegiance with the forces of darkness and destruction.

A demon army with swords that rip
The army of demons wield deadly swords capable of slicing through anything, adding to the mayhem of the battle.

Will join the final war
The demonic army will fight alongside the other destructive forces in the final battle that will end the world.

The army of the dead arrives
The resurrected dead arrive to join in the final battle of destruction.

Heimdall blows his horn
The god Heimdall signals the start of the final battle by blowing his horn.

Calling gods out to die
Heimdall's horn serves as a call to arms for the gods, who will fight to the death in the final battle.

Before the world can be reborn
The world must first be destroyed completely in order for it to be reborn and start anew.
