The Final Strife (2025) Ulfhednar 🇨🇦 Canada

For aeons I have waited
For the end of days foretold
For the death of Asgard fated
To destroy the realms of old
From my prison I will fly
To defeat the Asgard king
To then race across the sky
Eternal darkness I shall bring

Gleipnir! Cursed binds!
By all the gods I shall break away from you.
On the day of final twilight I will be free!

The time is now approaching
The final strife is nigh
My chains at last are failing
My strength never been so high
Puny gods of Asgard
You can’t escape your fates
Now feel the wrath of Fenrir
Ragnarok awaits

Ragnarok awaits

Tremble
For I
Shall
Return

Gleipnir! Cursed binds!
By all the gods I shall break away from you.
On the day of final twilight I will be free!

Gleïpnir!

On the Day of final Twilight, I Will be free!

From the depths of the void
Feel him rise
In your mind, you feel
The call of Jormundgandr

Fear
Dread
Woe
Pain

His voice crawls inside your brain
The darkness seeping in your soul

Upon Midgard his terror will reign
The great giant beast most foul

He Once fought against mighty Thor
Thundergod’s fate he near cut short
After a savage battle most fierce
Back To the depth he would resort

Fear
Dread
Woe
Pain

Biding time in the deepest abyss
Until such a day he would return
To bathe and bask in destructive bliss
And laugh as he watches Midgard burn

I remember a night lit by screams and by flame
When our king declared war and thus the armies came
Proud and loud we would chant « their kingdom shall burn »
But so many of our brothers would never return
We fought by day and sang by night
Together as one we strife
We fought by day and sang by night
For brothers and sisters we fight and die

I remember the chill of a wild winter storm
Where the snows fell relentless from dusk until morn
For our sons and daughters lives we would fight
Alas many In our clan did not last the night

We fought by day and sang by night
Together as one we strife
We fought by day and sang by night
For brothers and sisters we fight and die

I remember the day those men came to my door
To claim my home, my gold and yet still much more
Sword in hand I hoped to make them bleed or fright
But their numbers overtook me and I lost the fight.

We fought by day and sang by night
Together as one we strife
We fought by day and sang by night
For brothers and sisters we fight and die

The age of the gods comes to an end

The dead rise from their mounds

The white frost has taken its hold

The final strife is nigh

Destruction!
Falls on the world!
The Fimblevinter
Robs all life
From the lands of aesir


«Then shall happen what seems great tidings: a wolf named Skoll shall swallow the sun; and this shall seem to men a great harm. Another wolf shall seize the moon, and he also shall work great ruin […]
Then shall come to pass these tidings also: all the earth shall tremble from earthquakes, […] and all fetters and bonds shall be broken and rent.»*

Death!
Face the end, with a heart of steel and a grin of blood
Death!
Face the end, fight and Die with honor at the side of your gods

The earth trembles under the great wolf’s steps
The raging sea spews forth the serpent
From infernal depths rises the mighty fire god
The dreaded Galahorn has sounded

«Then that too shall happen, that Naglfar shall be unleashed, the ship which is so named […] O’er the sea from the north, there sails a ship
With the people of Hel [...]
The sun turns black, earth sinks in the sea,
The hot stars down from heaven are whirled [...],
Till fire leaps high about heaven itself.»*

Death!
Face the end, with a heart of steel and a grin of blood
Death!
Face the end, fight and Die with honor at the side of your gods

Brothers and sisters.
Make This day, a final day to be remembered
A day that they will sing of, for aeons to come
Ride now, to victory
Ride, to your death!

We’re fighting on, for our gods
We march on, we spill our blood
We will rise To the tides
Of their lines, We shall ride

Forward, onward
Brothers we ride against the deicide
Forward, onward
We give our life, For the final strife

We’re fighting on, for our gods
We march on, we spill our blood
We will rise To the tides
Of their lines, We shall ride

The great wolf devours Odin
Vidar avenge your father
Thor slays the serpent
Collapsing from his Venom
Brother turn upon brothers
As Garm and Tyr fell upon each other’s maws

Last alive on Vigrid
The Sly one, son of Odin
And the watchmen, Guardian of the Bifrost
Watch as the final Sun sets upon the age of the gods

Surtr’s flames extinguish the realm of the Aesir

Watch as the final Sun sets upon the age of the gods
