about

Völva is the archetype of the shamanic seeress that helps us reflect on the web of fate that surrounds us all and foretells the death of all things. We all come from the same primordial source and shall return to reflect our creation. All past, present, and future are illusions of the reflective void.

To be featured as track #7 on "Twilight... (Røkkr, Act I)"

lyrics

(Völva)
Viðar will avenge, Woden
restore the order to the Earth
Váli shall revenge, Baldr
"Viðar mun hefna,"
Váli is born for revenge
"Þá er sloknar Surta logi"
(When the flames of Surt have vanished)

The flaming sun and the rising shadow,
the full blood sacrifice
Fear of your destiny shall be your demise

The falling sun and the rising shadow
Filling the lands tonight
This is the spawn of death;
This is just the beginning
The ways of death prove the power of nature.
The passage of time; its work.
For, none shall know what's next.
The voice of the gods speak their truths.

(New worlds bring forth new order)
Call the ulfheðnar (to defend)
the great cosmic tree, burnt down to ash
The world is a'rising, before you
and bringing in a new
From Yggdrasil,
Yggdrasil's ashen tears
"Þá er sloknar Surta logi"
(When the flames of Surt have vanished)

The falling sun and the rising shadow,
filling here tonight
This is the spawn of death, beginning of the end
The flaming sun and the rising shadow,
The full blood sacrifice
Fear of your destiny shall be your demise

With the breath, of the rising flame,
the gods of fire remain
Deep in the hearts of those
on the less beaten path they chose
We cannot stay forever now,
in the land filled with false light
And we will enter the realm of shadow

Dark spirits lay within the water,
lost souls escape once more
Shining lights emerge from the night sky
chaos ensues once again
Deep roots of ourselves, are consumed
by the corpse eating serpent of nature
The fires of Surt ensue,
the chaos of fate destroys the tree of life

Listen to the wind in the trees
and thou shall know my words to be true...
