Paroles de Ginnungagap

This first and elemental flesh Both man and woman – falls awake From void and darkness, frost and flame From sleeping ymir, a world to make The wordless voice, the scream, the howl Pure essence fills new earth and sky Ancestral form of myth and legend Giants, gods to glorify Father, mother to them all The bleak betrayal comes to pass As daughters, sons, bad families Are cut from stone to break like glass I dream of spaces, emptiness Deserts golden, endless dome Dome of blue with white clouds scudding Folded origami, home Home to all creation, vistas Of foreign lands. We conjure ghosts Of pre-birth state, primal recall The calm amongst the heavenly hosts
