I 4 testi dell’album Ragnarok dei Bloodshed Walhalla sono stati scritti da Drakhen e narrano la battaglia finale tra gli Dei e l’ordine del male e delle tenebre, dai primi segni alla distruzione del mondo e la sua rigenerazione. Naturalmente Drakhen oltre alla leggenda conosciuta grazie alle fonti ha aggiunto del suo inserendoci una storia parallela totalmente creata in base agli eventi.
Il Dio Baldr, figlio di Odino dopo essere stato ucciso dall’inganno di Loki, viene accolto nel regno di Hel. La regina del male ascoltando i pianti disperati provenienti da tutto il creato e le suppliche del Dio Odino affinché il figlio fosse liberato, decide di imprigionare il padre di tutto nelle sue celle e spedire il figlio Baldr nel mondo dei vivi rendendolo così mortale e privo di forze. Odino accetta queste condizioni. Eliminando Odino la regina invia i segni premonitori che poi scaturiranno il Ragnarok. Odino intanto entra nei sogni del figlio ormai mortale e incosciente di tutto quello che è accaduto e che accadrà e gli rivela i suoi progetti, facendoli consegnare le sua forza, il suo cavallo Slipnir, la sua lancia e il suo elmetto. Baldr così dovrà donare il suo cuore mortale alle valchirie, e dopo la sua seconda morte potrà entrare nel walhalla e capire finalmente chi è e la sua reale identità! Baldr così dovrà raggiungere il regno di Hel e con le sue abilità e le armi e forza di Odino, dovrà annientare la regina del male e il suo esercito per così liberare il padre dalle celle nere. Il Ragnarok con Odino e i suoi figli può avere inizio! Questa storia la troviamo nei testi delle 4 traccie dell’album!
RAGNAROK
The four texts of Bloodshed Walhalla's "Ragnarok" album, have been written by Drakhen and tell about the final battle between the gods and the order of evil and darkness, from the early signs to the destruction of the world and its regeneration. Naturally, Drakhen, besides the known legend, added his own by including a parallel story entirely created according to the events.
God Baldr, Odin's son after being killed by Loki deception, is welcomed in Hel's realm. The Queen of Evil listening to the desperate crys from all creation and the supplications of the Odin God for his son to be released, decides to imprison the father of everything in his cells and send his son Baldr into the world of the living by making him so deadly and devoid of Strength. Odin accepts these conditions. By removing Odin, the queen sends the warning signs that the Ragnarok will eventually cause. Odino enters into the dreams of his now dead and unconscious son of all that has happened and that will happen and reveals his plans, delivering his strength, his Slipnir horse, his spear and his helmet. Baldr will have to donate his mortal heart to the valkyries, and after his second death he will be able to enter the walhalla and finally understand who he is and his real identity! Baldr will thus have to reach Hel's kingdom and with his Odin's skills and weapons and strength, he will have to destroy the queen of evil and his army in order to free his father from the black cells. The Ragnarok with Odin and her children can get started! We find this story in the lyrics of the 4 tracks of the album!
lyrics
LIKE YOUR SON
Drakhen
I am the one who rides in the mountains and in heaven.
He gave me his trusty stallion. As written on the runes.
Like the wind he took me to the gates of the dead, flying on the bones, among the flames.
In that cave I met a dog from the bloody chest.
Then a river where fasts flowed sharp knives and swords.
I'm the one who holds the spear of God. Fly like the wind and when it hits, destroys the beast.
When my God lost the eye, two crows flew away.
Above the stars and above of the nine worlds.
When my God lost the heart, I was called to war.
In the kingdom of Hel with the spear and the stallion.
When my God will return from the realm of the dead.
We will cross the gates.
When the two crows still will fly above the nine worlds.
The Walhalla’s gates.
Oh God of all, I now fight like your son.
I do not want to die in this hellish land.
As a thunder storm, I threw me against the hordes of dead.
The north wind was on my side and the strength did not leave me.
The runes of the gods I saw. On the cosmic tree, I saw and I read.
The future of the Worlds is in my hands and in his old spear.
The beasts are dissolved on the tip of my spear.
Blood and bones of everything. Wounds on the body everywhere.
Corpses and broken blades on the shore and on the mountain near the bay.
The Helgrind gates are now closer. I'm waiting for another attack.
Gods protect me. brothers in blood come to me. I await a sign from ancestors. A light.
A dazzling light over their heads. Like an earthquake began to shake all over. The end.
Gods who survived had come in those lands. In our aid. I had opened the gates.
The crows were here.
The queen came out of the halls, made with bones of snake.
His army retreated, under the ground, under the flames.
My brothers smiled at me and vanished up high. Now I was alone. Alone again. Alone again.
Glorious eternity passed. in the cave of the dead.
I was before the walls of éljúðnir. Under the ice.
Ganglati and Ganglöt, waiting on the threshold. A shrill cry. Inside my head.
Like a fury went out the black queen. And the darkness
enveloped all things. My legs began to tremble and bend.
He lashed the first shot to the heart, and I collapsed to the ground. but I straightened up.
When my God lost the eye, two crows flew away.
Above the stars and above of the nine worlds.
When my God lost the heart, I was called to war.
In the kingdom of Hel with the spear and the stallion.
When she fell under the thunder of my old forebears.
The heart of God I found.
And when the queen, dying, handed me the keys to the world.
There was no return.
Oh God of all, I fought like your son.
I do not want to cry in this sad land.
I have found your heart, my God, Father of all.
Now I back home and return to deathbed.
I think the track "Celestial Horizon" is one of my favorites of all-time. I can't even explain it - the pure desolation mixed with an immense reverence for nature combines to create something truly magical. The cello part at the end of "Fog of War" is similarly dark and ethereal. This album is a true gem. Septembre
A towering record, with the finest Werendia track to date. Folkvandringen II is a breathtaking song, and that energy isn't lost across this entire album. baboonsandmoons
