Gnawing at the Roots of Yggdrasil Lyrics


within the realm of Yggdrasil

The mighty Nidhogg resides

wielding with strength beyond words

it awaits for world's demise

for the serpent's only purpose

is to see every bit of life fail

constantly eating at it's roots

wanting destruction to prevail

No creature from above or far below

will dare to stop it in it's quest

mercy is a feeling the serpent never shows

for humanity it strongly detests

with every bite the serpent takes

it draws closer to meeting it's goal

it will continue to devour

even if it takes an eternity

the creatures above constantly taunt

but Nidhogg will resist

for it knows that a day will come

where all life will be destroyed

with every erected kingdom

and every existing empire

will all eventually be

reduced to nothingness

No creature from above or far below

will dare to stop it in it's quest

mercy is a feeling the serpent never shows

for humanity it strongly detests

mighty Nidhogg

bring forth the destruction

topple the world above

your time to rise

is now
