When the Raven Flies Lyrics


When summers are forgotten

And brothers slay each other

When the legions of Surt rise

And Musspell'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 fulfil 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
