Embracing The Apocalypse - 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.

Scorching heat brings tears to my eyes as I follow the shadows
Down below through the moonlit abyss, riding the winds of damnation
Possessed by the hell-fires, enthralled by its glow
Receiving sulphur salvation
As I hear the crying of countless lost souls
Embracing the apocalypse
The heavenly realms once divine
Will crumble to dust as I return with fire
Punishment in its purest form
Cleansing this world with my powers newborn
Lamentations from the blessed
They're lying in their graves
Pale white cheeks and broken wings
With their *** hearts impaled
The sweet sound of angels crying descends from above
Their bodies torn, ripped from wing to wing
Saturate the heavens with their blood
Possessed by the hell-fires, enthralled by its glow
Unleashing sulphur salvation
As I hear the crying voices of countless lost souls
Embracing the apocalypse
Spheres'll collide in cascades of fire
That open the gates to ancient realms
From beyond the stars and the abyss that yawns
The cursed gods are returning from their graves
It's the dawn of the apocalypse
