Road to Hel

Where witches dwell and serpents coil Tracing the depths of the nine Upon twisted road to Helheim's soil I stride upon the path that's mine With runes inscribed on skin and bone And lungfuls of the ancient breath I forge my way through ice and stone Unburdened by straw-death Hail the Hunger, hail the void Feast on her strength, Famine destroyed Come, my brethren, your fill to eat Hordes at the table, corpse-greed as seats We walk the Road to Hel Where gods and giants fell Through fire, ice, and endless strife Hel-shoes tread the road to life In the Maiden's Hall we unite Our hearts ablaze with might Bound by fate and loyalty We march to death, forever free Beneath the roots of Yggdrasil Nidhogg gnaws and seethes with rage A twisted, gnarled and ancient beast Locked within the Seer's cage Yet The dragon guides my steps His wisdom etched on wind, dirt and rain I journey through with haunted helm Where frost-touched souls cry out in rage Hail the hunger, hail the void Unleash the power, Unchain, destroy Rise, my brethren, from the deep Our fate, she'll nourish, it's woven, see We walk the Road to Hel Where gods and giants fell Through fire, ice, and endless strife We tread the road to life In darkness we unite Our hearts ablaze with might Bound by fate and loyalty We march to death, forever free Where Garmr guards the Helheim gates His howls resounding through the night I cross the bridge of Gjöll's fierce stream Sooty-Red burning bright Amidst the frozen, lifeless waste Where Loki's kin and purpose blend The Rokkr's secrets I've embraced Their ancient power defends Hail the Hunger, hail the void Feast on her strength, Famine destroyed Come, my brethren, your fill to eat Hordes at the table, corpse-greed as seats We walk the Road to Hel Where gods and giants fell Through fire, ice, and endless strife Hel-shoes tread the road to life In the Maiden's Hall we unite Our hearts ablaze with might Bound by fate and loyalty We march to death, forever free Onward, I tread with purpose clear Beyond the realms of life and breath To face the goddess without fear Embrace her realm, the dance with death Through realms of ice and shadows deep A journey bound by fate's embrace In Hel's domain, my soul shall keep A warrior's rest, a rightful place Hail the Hunger, hail the void Feast on her strength, Famine destroyed Come, my brethren, your fill to eat Hordes at the table, corpse-greed as seats We walk the Road to Hel Where gods and giants fell Through fire, ice, and endless strife Hel-shoes tread the road to life In the Maiden's Hall we unite Our hearts ablaze with might Bound by fate and loyalty We march to death, forever free In the icy halls of Hel Where death and silence dwell I stand before the frozen throne And face Death all alone My heart as cold as steel The Hunger pains I feel She fills my plate, I conquer death The chosen fate is sealed We walk the Road to Hel Where gods and giants fell Through fire, ice, and endless strife We tread the road to life In darkness we unite Our hearts ablaze with might Bound by fate and loyalty We march to death, forever free On this Road to Hel I've bled Secrets talked of, naught unsaid A heathen's tale unfolds A saga steeped in blood we hold In shadows, we shall rise Our battle cries ignite the skies The Road to Hel is paved with dreams And satiated terrors that never cease
