2. Loki

Demons inside
Torturing with fear
Venom and pain
Prisoner I hear
Voices from dark lands of forgotten thrones
Voices from far lands where once Loki roamed

Breaking my veins
violence and life
dying I'm born again
every hunted night
Agony, memory all will be silenced
Pain, sufferings all will be folded

Under the wings
of the black sailed Naglfar

The god will leap from its grave
when the eternal night will break
The god will leap from its grave
will ship over the deepest hate

Under the wings
of eternal nightly reigns

For every death I die
I come back even stronger
For every day in hell
the more my soul gets forged
Agony, memory all will be silenced
Pain, sufferings all will be folded

And Earth will stop shaking
No more cries will be heard
Motionless everything will lie
And pity will be no more
Agony, memory all will be silenced
Pain, sufferings all will be folded

Under the wings
of the black sailed Naglfar

The god will leap from its grave
when the eternal night will break
The god will leap from its grave
will ship over the deepest hate

Under the wings
of eternal nightly reigns


3. Miðgarðsormr

Behold!
The door over the border
Behold!
The path where seasons flow
Behold!

Beyond the sea of stars
Beyond the rock of gods
Beyond the breath of waves
Exhaled on the shores of men
Behold!

Door to life in death's embrace
Eternal spiral eternal lace
Cradle of times timeless
Cradle of ages countless

Beneath my spires
Giants lie concealed
Beneath my essence
Infinite is revealed
Behold!

Behold!
The door over the border
Behold!
The path where seasons flow
Behold!


4. Fenrir

Rain chanting
Voices from my land
Falling sounds
The old curse bound
Me down

Chained far
In fog I lie
In misty sea of lies
With gleaming eyes
into void I stare

Exiled, mystified
Though the sacred halls I'll bring
Demise, eternal ice
The end of your reign upon time
Your world I'll swallow
In wintry eternal night

Smell destiny
In the vast
Motionless agony
Of the plane
Where the river stops
And Gods belong


5. Hel

Someone believes she comes in the coldest night of the winter
her rake will have spikes so thin my soul will never get through
because I am heavy, fed in sins and envy uncouth
and my life belongs to her, queen of the deepest place in the world

Someone tells she'll be a grim old lady grinding teeth frighteningly
in the darkest passage of my land she'll be waiting for me to fall
to rake my thoughts and memories away from earth
and have my soul forever in her kingdom under the deepest place in the world

And they say there'll be no place to go she will not reach
because she's thief, famine and pest
the murder awaiting in the darkest passage of my land

And they say there's no other outcome for every story
because she's the mother of all lives strives
the murder awaiting in the darkest passage of my land

1. Iving (intro) – 1:57
The opening of the album is an instrumental intro taking its name from the river that divides the lands of mortals from those where the gods live. At the beginning of Ragnarok, the legend tells this river will freeze, erasing every bound between mortal and immortal beings.
The musical crescendo is dark and chasing and reaches its top with the crystal sound of the river freezing.

2. Loki – 4:45
The following track is dedicated to the main character of the album, Loki. The god is here depicted in the phase preceding the Ragnarok, when he's still dreaming of his vengeance, condemned by Odin to be banned and tortured for his misconduct. Loki's unquenchable will of revenge dominates upon his sufferings, giving him the force to bear the punishment and wait for the twilight of the gods.
The sound of the song is typically black metal, interleaved by a long acoustic session where a clean voice replaces the scream and growl style, breaking the song linearity and giving dynamism to the track.

3. Midgardsorm – 4:19
The following songs are dedicated to the three sons of Loki.
First of all the serpent Midgardsorm, feared by the gods for his gigantic size. They threw him in the deepest sea enclosing the lands of men in the hope of having him dying for starvation, but thanks to his size the snake closes in a circle, reaching his tail with its mouth and feeding upon it. This way the cirle of times, seasons, life and death are created in the world of mankind.

4. Fenrir – 5:08
The fouth song is about the wolf-god Fenrir, destined to break free from his chain the day of Ragnarok to swallow the sun, causing an endless, cold night to fall upon the universe. Waiting for that day, Fenrir is force to remain chained in the desolated lands before the reign of dead spirits, soaked in fog and stillness.
The musical line of the song is rich of changes of mood, expressing the contrast between the motionless plains where the wolf-god lies and his inner rage.

5. Hel – 4:35
The last track is centered around the figure of Hel. Very popular in the northern folklore, she is considered to be the image of Death: a grim old lady with a rake that she uses to catch the souls of mortals she'll bring in her reign of shadows.
The melancholy of the closure expresses the lonely and solitary trait of this character.
