Lyrics

Eldhaf! Eldhaf! Eldhaf rís! Eldhaf rís, allur heimur brennur Níu heimar, í einn eld sameinast Ekkert stendur, ekkert lifir Þetta er endirinn, þetta er eldhafið Eldhaf rís, allur heimur brennur Níu heimar, í einn eld sameinast Ekkert stendur, ekkert lifir Þetta er endirinn, þetta er eldhafið Surtur gengur, sverðið logar Bifröst fallin, goðin berjast Óðinn fellur, Þór er sleginn Heimurinn sem var, er ekki lengur Eldhaf rís, allur heimur brennur Níu heimar, í einn eld sameinast Ekkert stendur, ekkert lifir Þetta er endirinn, þetta er eldhafið Eldhaf rís, allur heimur brennur Níu heimar, í einn eld sameinast Ekkert stendur, ekkert lifir Þetta er endirinn, þetta er eldhafið Í tómið fæðist logi... (úr Ginnungagap) Surtr rís, eldur brennur... (úr Surtr) Eldspáin rættist, Sinmara opnaði Lævateinn í hendi, ekkert stöðvar Vardeldur slokknaði, vörðurinn féll Eldógn varð að eldhafi sjálfu Eldhaf! Eldhaf! Allt brennur! Allt fellur! Eldhaf rís, allur heimur brennur Níu heimar, í einn eld sameinast Ekkert stendur, ekkert lifir Þetta er endirinn, þetta er eldhafið Eldhaf rís, allur heimur brennur Níu heimar, í einn eld sameinast Ekkert stendur, ekkert lifir Þetta er endirinn, þetta er eldhafið Eldhaf... Allt er eldur núna...

Sea of fire! Sea of fire! The sea of fire rises! The sea of fire rises, the whole world burns Nine worlds, merge into one fire Nothing stands, nothing survives This is the end, this is the sea of fire The sea of fire rises, the whole world burns Nine worlds, merge into one fire Nothing stands, nothing survives This is the end, this is the sea of fire Surtr marches, the sword blazes Bifröst has fallen, the gods are fighting Óðinn falls, Þórr is struck down The world that was, is no more The sea of fire rises, the whole world burns Nine worlds, merge into one fire Nothing stands, nothing survives This is the end, this is the sea of fire The sea of fire rises, the whole world burns Nine worlds, merge into one fire Nothing stands, nothing survives This is the end, this is the sea of fire In the void a flame is born... (from Ginnungagap) Surtr rises, fire burns... (from Surtr) The fire-prophecy came true, Sinmara opened Lævateinn in hand, nothing stops it The watch-fire went out, the guardian fell The fire-dread became the sea of fire itself Sea of fire! Sea of fire! Everything burns! Everything falls! The sea of fire rises, the whole world burns Nine worlds, merge into one fire Nothing stands, nothing survives This is the end, this is the sea of fire The sea of fire rises, the whole world burns Nine worlds, merge into one fire Nothing stands, nothing survives This is the end, this is the sea of fire Sea of fire... Everything is fire now...

Story Behind The Song

This track is the album's climax, gathering every figure introduced so far — Surtr, Sinmara, Lævateinn, the border guardian, Yggdrasil's fire-dread — into the single moment the sources describe as Ragnarök itself: Óðinn falling, Þórr struck down, and the nine worlds consumed as one. Eldhaf, the sea of fire, is where the whole album's story converges.
