To the giant raging Fire of an ever-dying star
 
That reaches, rends, seizes Poor doomed Frey
 
No weapon, no defense as his void-burnt flesh is flayed
 
His sister Freya watches, but her new throat cannot scream
 
As Odr, her husband, fades as though a dream
 
In the now-eternal instant of her loss, her eyes grow wet
 
But instead of tears what falls is golden red as the final sunset
 
The silver and the platinum of etchings on the wall
 
Reach to her, her melting skin their cold embrace appalls
 
As she fuses to the core of this abomination train
 
Always watching, but stripped of any way to voice her pain
 
She sees as Tyr regrows the hand he lost to Fenrir’s blade
 
As he fights the teeth of rabid Garm, whose mind like sand has slipped away
 
But no new limb will save his blood from Garm’s devouring jaw
 
Though his fingers find his heart and they merge dead upon the floor
 
 And cosmic madness reigns.

[Spoken Interlude]
 
(Lyfrassir) At the observation window, Odin watches untouched by the chaos.
Loki stares at her, eyes wide, mind clear.

[Verse 1]
       Em
(Loki) What is this inside my mind
     Em
That drags out what I left behind
   Em
My eyes now clear, the call begun
   Em
So long ago, Odin what have you done?
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Em
(Odin) I’ve done it! Though I never knew
    Em
The dreams that ate at me were true
  Em
A fool I was, hubristic, vain
   Em
To think conquest the purpose of my train
 
 
[Verse 3]
            Em
(Loki) This train is not what we had planned
   Em
We built but did not understand
  Em
I tried to stop it but I failed
        Em
There’s no protection now we are derailed
 
 
[Verse 4]
       Em
(Odin) Derailing? Yes! It’s higher need
    Em
Was reached as soon as it was freed
    Em
You heard the call, but ran away
    Em
You could not stop the coming of this day
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
(Narrator) A day, a week, a thousand years

Mean naught to what the train draws near
 
Nuclear chaos, roiling, screaming
 
Lulled by demon flutes to keep it dreaming
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
Children of the sane

Azathoth calls your foolish train
 
Envy your dead for now unfurled
 
This madness follows to consume you
 
Gibber, children of the sane
 
At what calls you to its domain
 
Your dead are lucky; now unfurled
 
This madness follows to consume your world
