It's Still Life

Ragnarök: Found in The Weavers c.10

And of this I know

Ár skal misseri
A year shall pass

He lives free and bold
and fiercer than fire

Perches on a hill,
and on the sixth day

Ár skal rísa
Year shall rise

He measures a half loaf
against sand and sea

but he waxed too wise
and never knew happiness

Ár skal misseri
Ár skal rísa

Year shall pass
Year shall rise
