The Northern wind brings snow and ice
   Humans starve and freeze
   The Fimbul winter has arrived
   And soon the world will cease to be
  
   Brother will be brother's bane
   No one shall be spared
   All will die. None remain
   That is mankind's share
  
   The southern sphere is set ablaze
   Muspel's fire is set free
   The sun is on its final chase
   And soon the world will cease to be
  
   Across the western sky he runs
   A wolf so grim and mean
   Devours the eternal sun
   And soon the world will cease to be
  
   The North Star falls from the sky
   Into the deep cold sea
   The first of all to fall and die
   And soon the world will cease to be
  
   Muspel's flames lick the sky
   Hidhægg eats the dead
   The Aesir meet in hall up high
   And Oden 'quests Mimer's head
  
   Land is swallowed by the waves
   Rocks and mountains break
   Dead men on the path to Hell
   And Yggdrasil quakes
  
   From the East comes a ship
   Loke holds the oar
   A demon army with swords that rip
   Will join the final war
  
   The army of the dead arrives
   Heimdal blows his horn
   Calling Gods out to die
   Before the world can be reborn
