Twilight of the Thundergod Lyrics!!

[Tranquillian]

The lyrics are about Thor's fight with Jormungandr, the world serpent, during Ragnarök, the end of the world as the norse believed it.

[growl]

There is Fenris grim
His jaws are open wide
The serpent rises from the waves (This is Jormungandr he speaks about)
Jormungandr twists and turns, mighty in his wrath
The eyes are full of primal hate

Thor, odins son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits
Thor, ?? son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, ragnarök awaits


??? rise to face //edited
the snake with hammer high
at the edge of the world
as lightning fills the air
as Mjölnir does it's work
the twinfold serpent roars in pain //edited

Thor, odins son, protector of mankind, rides to meet your fate, your destiny awaits
Thor, ?? son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, ragnarök awaits


[growl]

Mighty Thor, grabs the snake
firmly by its tongue
lifts his hammer high to strike
soon his work is done


Victory against the guardian snake //edited
leading to the death //edited (Thor dies by the poison of Jormungandr, after having slain the serpent)
twilight of the thundergod
ragnarök awaits
twilight of the thundergod
twilight of the thundergod
twilight of the thundergod
twilight of the thundergod


[solo]

thor, odin's son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits
thor, ?? son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, ragnarök awaits

 

[Ross]

its very close but that word in the chorus "thor, ?? son" is really getting to me, i cant seem to hear it well enough

 

[VinlandViking]

I really don't think the second part says Odin. I think Johan is speaking of Thor's mother Jörð or another name for her, or possibly his "stepmother" Freya or another name for her.

Could it maybe be Thor, Greatest Son... or am I totally imagining things and should not be allowed to participate in this thread?

Well it could be a lot of things. And you can participate in this thread if you want to.

 

[Thimon]

as lightning fills the air

Thor, ?? son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, ragnarök awaits

I think it's

as A lightning fills the air

and

Thor, ?? son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, THE ragnarök awaits

no ideas about the rest...

 

[truemmer]

Haha, we had this kind of thread on the WOOOS release here, too. Had some funny stuff in it.

I remember the following for the Asator lyrics:

Fire! His head explodes, see the lightning strike!

The problem is ... once you know it, you always think about it when you listen to the song .-)

 

[VinlandViking]

Fire! His head explodes, see the lightning strike!

That would be hilarious if that was actually in the song.

 

[truemmer]

Just google it, this line has even made it into several lyrics sites. I can't find the thread on this board anymore :/

 

[VinlandViking]

Just google it, this line has made it into several lyrics sites.

Wow, that's great. I just listened to Asator (my least favorite AA song) just to hear that part.

 

[Thimon]

Awesome!!! Can't stop laughing right now

Listening to Asator will never be the same again....

 

[Bates]

The funny part, it would even fit. I'm pretty sure there's a line or two in the Eddas somewhere about Thor braining some giant and his head exploding.

 

[amon666]

it would be great if johan logs in and just tells us the missing words lol

 

[Xurek]

The first couple lines of the second verse sound like to me:

____ rise to face,
the snake with amber eye.

 

[DamageInc.]

Fire! His head explodes, see the lightning strike!

yeah, thats great... very cool... I always heard "His hate is pure" but its way more fun this way


Thor, ?? son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your PAIN, ragnarök awaits

I always hear Pain in that line...and no "the". and, to me, its sound something like "Lilliths son" ... doesnt really make any sense, but I hear that.

 

[Tranquillian]

I think it's

as A lightning fills the air

and

Thor, ?? son, protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate, THE ragnarök awaits

no ideas about the rest...

no A, that's not proper english I think.

 

[Thimon]

Well maybe wrong but that's what I hear

I agree with that "Lilith"-sounding name/word in the beginning of the second part of the chorus. And ride to meet your pain could be correct as well.

About the beginning of the second verse:

It could be:
____your eyes to face
the snake with hammer high

 

[VinlandViking]

I also hear "Lillith" but I've never heard that name used for Thor's mother or stepmother.

 

[amon666]

maybe johan likes to nickname them

 

[VinlandViking]

Lol, I don't think so. I tried looking up different names for his mother and his stepmother but none of them sounded close enough.
