![]() Twilight of the GodsA Poem by Christopher Hascall![]() Norse legend tells of the end of everything, Ragnarok, as being a great battle between the giants of Jotunheim and the gods of Asgard.![]() One fateful day, the cosmos died By Loki the Terrible's will Baldr was slain, Midgard soon fell Gunnungagap, void and still
The fetters of the disloyal The Trickster and the Beast They were no more, as prophesied Man's honor soon deceased
Doomed Man slaying stranger and kin for death and chaos reigned While Wolf consumed the Earthly realm To Hel went honor and fame
Thor protected those who would dwell On slain Ymir's flesh and blood Jormungand and the Hammer fell and none survived the flood
The Joker soon lay mortally wounded The conquest of giants proved To slay the gods on Asgard ground The base of Yggdrasil moved
King of all things, Odin then fell Swallowed by fierce Fenrir Vidar then slayed the mighty wolf Though, all then disappeared
In void, new land rose from the sea For world wounds will now mend The battle halts, rebirth begins Ragnarok comes to an end © 2015 Christopher Hascall |
