When summers are forgotten And brothers slay each other When the legions of Surt rise And Muspell's horde fills the skies When the Norns annihilate all peace And Naglfar sails the seas The dawn of the final war is here When gods wage war the end is near When the horn of Heimdall blows And holy blood in thick rivers flows When the son of Loki breaks his chains And Midgard is consumed by flames When forces of darkness and light collide For puny mortals there'll be nowhere to hide The dawn of the final war is here When gods wage war the end is near When the raven flies We must heed the call When the raven flies We will stand or fall When the raven flies We must heed the call When the raven flies We will stand or fall When the sky turns black as night And nothing is left but the will to fight When the Einherjar are to fulfill their destiny There's no more use for All-Father's necromancy When giants and trolls united ride And even Wodan and Donar fall side by side The dawn of the final war is near When gods wage war the end is here
