I'm temporarily converting to Norse Paganism, because my religion du jour never gives me Armageddon when I'm it. Besides, as far as the End of the World goes, I'd be a poor metalhead to not celebrate it.

That makes no sense at all.
It probably makes impeccable sense to drunk Vikings.

"Music to chew your shield by"
:lulz:
The mental image it gives me is a battlefield full of spinning Vikings.
Come Austri (In Norse mythology, Norðri, Suðri, Austri and Vestri ("Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western") are four dwarves in the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning who each support one of the four cardinal points. Together, they uphold the heavenly dome, created from the skull of the jötunn Ymir.)
Come dawning day
come fathers and mothers of
high-born families
Come roosters in homes three
Come allfather Odin
Come my mother Frigg
Come wise Vanir (In Norse mythology, the Vanir (singular Vanr) are a group of gods associated with fertility, wisdom and the ability to see the future. The Vanir are one of two groups of gods (the other being the Æsir) and are the namesake of the location Vanaheimr (Old Norse "Home of the Vanir"). After the Æsir–Vanir War, the Vanir became a subgroup of the Æsir. Subsequently, members of the Vanir are sometimes also referred to as members of the Æsir.)
Come ancient thurses (The Jötnar (or Thursar are a mythological race that live in Jötunheimr, one of the nine worlds of Norse cosmology. They were banished there by the Æsir who refuse them entry to their world, Asgard. The Jötnar frequently interact with the Æsir, as well as the Vanir. They are usually in opposition to, or in competition with, them but also interact with them in a non-hostile manner. Some Jötnar even intermarry with the Æsir and Vanir. This very complex relationship between these two comparable races develops most notably in the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda. )
If the seeds are berries
Sing the song
that in past lives bred
Ask standing (in Norse mythology, Ask and Embla (from Old Norse Askr ok Embla)—male and female respectively—were the first two humans, created by the gods. )
is named Yggdrasil (In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil (/ˈɪɡdrəsɪl/; from Old Norse Yggdrasill, pronounced [ˈyɡːˌdrasilː]) is an immense tree that is central in Norse cosmology, in connection to which the nine worlds exist)
Towers evergreen
Above the well of Urdr (Urðarbrunnr (Old Norse "Well of Urðr"; either referring to a Germanic concept of fate—urðr—or the norn named Urðr[1]) is a well in Norse mythology. Urðarbrunnr is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, the well lies beneath the world tree Yggdrasil, and is associated with a trio of norns (Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld). In the Prose Edda, Urðarbrunnr is cited as one of three wells existing beneath three roots of Yggdrasil that reach into three distant, different lands; the other two wells being Hvergelmir, located beneath a root in Niflheim, and Mímisbrunnr, located beneath a root near the home of the frost jötnar. Scholarly theory and speculation surrounds the well.)
Hear me all
Sons of Heimdall
Stand up from sleep
give power to the root
sharply it ages
by snakes who
gnaws at the bottom
three Norns I beg (The Norns (Old Norse: norn, plural: nornir) in Norse mythology[1] are female beings who rule the destiny of gods and men, possibly a kind of dísir (see below), and comparable to the Fates in Greek mythology.
According to Snorri Sturluson's interpretation of the Völuspá, the three most important norns, Urðr (Wyrd), Verðandi and Skuld come out from a hall standing at the Well of Urðr (well of fate) and they draw water from the well and take sand that lies around it, which they pour over Yggdrasill so that its branches will not rot.)
that life you shall weave
Three Norns I beg
That life you shall twine
three Norns I beg
that life you shall bind
...bind to the root...
Æsir nornir
visa vanir
thursamøyir
thrá valkyrjur
alvar dvergar
disir völvur
vordar vergar
Yggdrasil This is old norse. i'll translate it later.

Don't laugh. I chew my shield all the time.
I know. I've seen you dance.
Anyway, your mythology is too complicated. And silly.
Dwarves holding the sky up? We'd all bump our heads.

I think I may have to write lyrics in traditional Nynorsk (1918 reform) and google translate them for my BM band.
i think i will trust the capable duck.
