The first single from upcoming album "Destruction of Ymir" to be released later this year.

lyrics

Ymir
The birth of the earth and the sky
Bleeds the flood
That drowns the ancient giants alive

Rebirth
Of the frost giants race
Rulers of heaven and earth
Killed the first
And from him carved the sky, the moon, the stars, the trees, the sea and the lakes

CHORUS:
His blood
Birthed the sea
and soon the earth would come to be
Creation of all humanity

His death
Birthed the storms
and the sun that keeps us warm
the winters and the wind-whipped rain

Broken bones from the giant of ice
Carved into stone and mountains high
Once the beast had died
Took his skull and fashioned the sky
In which Odin and Sleipnir rides

CHORUS

Birth of the mountains
Birth of the raging seas
The raging winters ice and snow
Beckons for eternity
x3

...and the fires blazed in the night

Midgard
Was formed
From bones
and blood

The burning
elements
of the sky

To create
heaven
and earth

And as the blood gushed freely from the wounds
They made the seas, the lakes and the rains

And as the ancient one lay down to die
He gave birth to the earth and the sky
