Roots of Heldrasill
Journey to Nifelhel: Unveiling Frozen Realms in Roots of Heldrasill
Lyrics
Driven by an iron will
Driven by a strong determination
Driven by a ghostridden thrill
Pushed forward by an exciting yet eerie sensation
I cast myself into the unknown
I willingly throw myself into the unfamiliar
to float away in the night
To drift away during the nighttime
O, mighty forefather
Referring to an esteemed ancestor or predecessor
Mystic Draugadrottin
Addressing a mystical figure, possibly a spirit or deity
Show me the path
Requesting guidance towards a specific direction
down to Nifelhel
Towards the realm of the dead in Norse mythology
Guide me to the entrance
Seeking assistance to find the entrance
Guide me through the netherworlds
Guidance through various realms of the afterlife
Down the roots of Heldrasill
Descending through the roots of the cosmic tree (Yggdrasil)
Aah, it's so cold here
Expressing the intense coldness experienced in this place
So this is the kingdom
Realization of the location or realm being visited
The domain of the frozen great
Describing the domain of powerful frozen beings
There I can see the ancients
Witnessing ancient and enormous entities
Gigantic hrimthursar
Massive frost giants in Norse mythology
Through Elivagor that cross the sphere
Traveling through rivers that encircle the world
A frozen river of giant tears
Depicting a frozen river formed by giant tears
Through Helivagor, the white domain
Referring to the region or domain of the dead
The hrimthurs dwelling where Ymer reigns
Where the primordial being 'Ymir' holds sway
O, Aurgelmer
Addressing the primordial being in Norse cosmology
Oceans made of blood
Symbolic description of gruesome elements
Mountains made of bones
Depicting a macabre landscape
and the earth is flesh
Analogizing the earth as flesh within this realm
The moon is full
Describing the celestial bodies and their state
The sky is clear
Depicting a clear night sky
The night is still
Emphasizing the quietness of the night
O, Aurgelmer
Repeated address to the primordial being
In the frozen empire
Describing a distant and frigid realm
So far away
Expressing the vast distance traveled
I travel over iceclothed mountains
Traveling across mountains covered in ice
Far away alone
Being far from any companions or aid
I start to freeze
Beginning to feel the extreme cold
I start to shiver as my aura turns pale
Experiencing physical reactions to extreme cold
Into second death
Transitioning into a state resembling death
As I receive the last kiss from Hel
Receiving what seems like a final embrace from the goddess of death
