It was here where I died hearing the aesir voice
I am carried to Valhalla to fight, again
To claim my place at the table, to feast and drink, to think
The days are over
I'm withered and old
Today is the last day
I feel the cold
Over Asgard and Ygrassill
I hear the mournings of a God's widow
Instead of comforting her with words
I join the battle of eternity
To feel the pain one must go
This is a place where blood is shed
Tomorrow is another day, another time
We keep on living like this to please the Gods
A lake of fire and ice collide
The wonderful view of farther mountains
Valhalla unto the other side
Separated by a void, between the living and the dead
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
