Bifrost

Bifröst brennur, brúin fellur Milli heima, eldur læðist Heimdallur blæs, en það er of seint Goðin hlaupa, en enginn kemst Bifröst brennur, brúin fellur Milli heima, eldur læðist Heimdallur blæs, en það er of seint Goðin hlaupa, en enginn kemst Heimdallur sér, eldinn koma Lúðurinn hljómar, um alla heima En brúin skelfur, undir eldi Regnboginn brotnar, litur af lit Bifröst brennur, brúin fellur Milli heima, eldur læðist Heimdallur blæs, en það er of seint Goðin hlaupa, en enginn kemst Bifröst brennur, brúin fellur Milli heima, eldur læðist Heimdallur blæs, en það er of seint Goðin hlaupa, en enginn kemst Brúin fellur! Hlaupið, hlaupið! Eldurinn kemur! Bifröst brotnar! Múspells synir, yfir ganga Þar sem áður, aðeins goðin fóru Bifröst þagnar, litirnir slokkna Heimurinn opinn, engin vörn Brúin sem tengdi, allt sem var Fellur nú, í eldi og ösku Bifröst brennur, brúin fellur Milli heima, eldur læðist Heimdallur blæs, en það er of seint Goðin hlaupa, en enginn kemst Bifröst brennur, brúin fellur Milli heima, eldur læðist Heimdallur blæs, en það er of seint Goðin hlaupa, en enginn kemst Bifröst fellur... Litirnir slokkna...

Bifröst burns, the bridge falls Between worlds, fire creeps in Heimdallr blows his horn, but it is too late The gods run, but none get through Bifröst burns, the bridge falls Between worlds, fire creeps in Heimdallr blows his horn, but it is too late The gods run, but none get through Heimdallr sees the fire coming The horn sounds, across all the worlds But the bridge shudders, beneath the fire The rainbow breaks, colour by colour Bifröst burns, the bridge falls Between worlds, fire creeps in Heimdallr blows his horn, but it is too late The gods run, but none get through Bifröst burns, the bridge falls Between worlds, fire creeps in Heimdallr blows his horn, but it is too late The gods run, but none get through The bridge falls! Run, run! The fire is coming! Bifröst breaks! Múspell's sons cross over Where once only the gods walked Bifröst falls silent, its colours go out The world lies open, no defense The bridge that joined all that was Falls now, into fire and ash Bifröst burns, the bridge falls Between worlds, fire creeps in Heimdallr blows his horn, but it is too late The gods run, but none get through Bifröst burns, the bridge falls Between worlds, fire creeps in Heimdallr blows his horn, but it is too late The gods run, but none get through Bifröst falls... The colours go out...
