Lyrics by Grutle Kjellson 1996 Born in flames in the time before time In the sparkling embrace of Muspellheim Born to be your souls darkened depths Before Audhumla, our ancient mother awakened When your eyes are glowing with hate A hate older than both men and gods Then you see the light of Muspell Too strong for any man to tame The oldest force will man never understand In the deepest domains of fire, man can never reign Stronger than the grip of death Mightier than the lights of the Norns Wiser than Fimbul-Tul More betraying than the son of Faarbaute That, who once brought forth life And gave us Mother Earth Shall return in the flames of Surt Our flesh shall burn at Ragnarok Our souls shall be united in FROST & FIRE Music by Ivar Bjørnson & Grutle Kjellson 1996
