Down is the way to Hel’s realm Always north, through the nine worlds Through valleys deep and dark wade through fog and mist The dark road to Hel Where the dead wander ... The dark road to Hel The path to oblivion Niðr ok norðr liggr helvegr Over the bridge of Gjallar Covered in gold spanning the river Gjöll Guarded by Modgudur The dark road to Hel Where the dead wander ... The dark road to Hel Lead us to eternity!
