Into The Cold Voids Of Eternity - Lyrics - Naglfar
In Norse mythology, Naglfar or Naglfari is a boat made entirely from the fingernails and toenails of the dead. During the events of Ragnarök, Naglfar is foretold to sail to VÃgrÃðr, ferrying hordes that will there battle with the gods. Naglfar is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. The boat itself has been connected by scholars with a larger pattern of ritual hair and nail disposal among Indo-Europeans, stemming from Proto-Indo-European custom, and it may be depicted on the Tullstorp Runestone in Scania, Sweden.

A chilling wind grasps my soul as I walk through the twilight gates
Choirs of grief are heard from the spirits of the ancient breed
Now I know what lies beyond, now I know my fate
To dwell in the fathomless depths of eternity
Into the cold voids of eternity
Landscapes clad in the frozen veils of dusk
Spiritual forces and naked fields - they greet me infernally
And so I saw demonic forces rising from the chasms below
Once dreaming but now awake, as they storm out through the gates
Bewitched by their splendour I soared with the foul
Carried by their demon wings
Darkness embraces me, with stygian supremacy
Into the cold voids of eternity
Witchadorned - chaosspawn - mighty ones grasp this world with hate
Scorch the slaves with the flames of your burning eyes
The weak shall mourn and weep as they squirm upon their stakes
Pain enthroned in a blaze of everlasting fire
