It's Still Life

Surtr – The Primordial Fire

Who are these three maids
they fly over homes of men.
The Norn. They are Fate.
Guardians over the sea
Who wander a mothers’ path.

But Surtr shall come
with his thirsty sword-of-flames.
He is South, and comes.
Is he to hold Thor’s hammer
when Dark-Surtr’s sword is slaked.
