THERION LYRICS Secrets Of The Runes (2001)1. Ginnungagap [The Black hole] [In the beginning there was a void, a big gap of darkness, filled with the primal forces of creation. The heat of Muspel and the ice of Nifel made the essence of life come forth from the void. The first living being, The Giant Ymer, was born out of darkness and he is the ancestor of the creatures of the universe. The world was formed from his slaughtered body. Ginnungagap is the black hole from which everything came out and into which everything will return in the end.] Fall deep into Void (in the) black hole of Nothing [Soprano:] Hail, Flow of Vergelmar Hail, Flow of Vergelmar Hail, Flow of Vergelmar Hail, Old Void!

The sophisticated balance between polarities which is the fundament of Midgard, could easily be disturbed. If that would happen the forces of chaos will inundate the earth and the end will be the only future for mankind.] Behind the depth, before the height, surrounded by the serpent Jormundgand, (the) world of Man in the middle of heat and ice, built by the Ymer brow. World of Man - hot and cool - high and low In between extremities rises Midgard, mighty as the stem of the tree. Ash and Elm, the human pair living of its precious fruits. But soon it may end.
