The Mechanisms
Ragnarok I: Runaway
[Verse 1: VOID]
Through the breaking cracks in space
They come a pace a thousand faces
Screaming, tearing through from where
The starlight bare will die uncaring
Through the walls their squamous calls
Will bring their falls now victims one and all
Tearing at the seams, their now eternal screams
Will sound upon the breeze in the corner of dreams
[Verse 2: VOID]
Standing guard, his face set hard
Heimdall will play his part he’s ripped apart
His scream of pain echos insanely
Through the train it never wanes
The first to die he’s skinned alive
By his own cry the end is nigh
Now his golden eyes, still shining bright
Are burst across the sky, by the rainbow teeth of night
And he’ll never know why
[Spoken Interlude: LYFRASSIR]
Standing there in that Hellish Chamber - the no longer beating heart of the Bifrost. Thor and Sigyn stare in mute horror, the crumpled form leaking before them, the arcane glyphs and gears spinning dry, as all that protected and powered the train bleeds away.
[Outro: SIGYN & THOR]
Kvasir, I know this man why is he here?
Odin, what have you done?
I left him back on Midgard, hiding, on the run
Allmother you must pay
[Spoken Outro: LYFRASSIR]
Without the regulating pump of the train, Kvasir convulses and bleeds out in a matter of seconds. Screams can be heard from the carriages behind, and as the blood laps at their boots in a shallow crimson tide, Thor turns and walks away to do his work.
