Premium MemberSong of Frost and Flame

The world was born of ice and flame
Of crystal drops that filled the empty plane
When Muspell's heat burned Niflheim

And life unraveled from the endless stream
And formed a voice whose name was Scream
Where shapes spilled out from his unseen dream

The waves then rise to cast new sounds
Soft yet gentle, the vibrant hums
Freed more life from their icy bounds

Defrost, the Aesir thus came to be
The first of which was so-called Búri
Whose son then wed and begat three

The three then warred against the Scream
For they saw no good inside his dreams
His pores sweat venom in boundless streams

That primal Scream thus fell down and shattered
His flesh and bone, all torn asunder
Which then were used to forge all matter

Henceforth came an age of craft divine
New worlds were built, 'til there were nine
Bound by Yggdrasil, their verdant spine

Yet discord hangs across the cosmic loom
Weaving prophecies that foretold gloom:
What bore the world shall be its doom

War and death had shaped Yggdrasil's roots
And destruction echoes within its shoots
Thus, war and death shall be its fruit

Loki's Lament and Curse Part 4 By Thomas Laufey

Odin:
The crimes of the father 
Reach out to the son you yourself has agreed to that 
Old as you are.
Loki: 
Then you Odin are truly cursed
Even more so than me
And I had never agreed to that when it came
To any of the aesir, vanir or jotun.
Unless we were in a time of war.
And Thor and Vidar will inherit
The burden of those transgressions 
Soon I shall be free Odin and when I am 
The worlds will tremble and burn with my wrath
For the deaths of my children 
From the betrayal of the aesir and vanir
Against the clans of Laufey and Farbauti and Muspelheim
For you odin and tyr for imprisoning me 
Hast made an enemy of their king,Surtr.
And the ship of nails, will be the first sign odin 
When the ship is spotted on the sea free of its mooring, my Chains will break 
At the same time the fetters of my son fenrir shall shatter.
Then your doom and the doom of aesir is nigh.
For i am the firestorm,the breaker of worlds,the sly god, 
The father of monsters and the flame dancer

Premium MemberLoki's Fall From Aesir

Malevolent demon,
Exploiter of pure malice,
And funny business,

Sif's whorish haircut
Enraged Thor, then soothes gods,
With tripartite gifts,

Goaded Balder's death,
Had perverse shape-shiftier Thokk
More appeasing piques,

Clings Narvi's bowels,
Whilst pains cured by Sigyn's bowl,
Vows evil frequents.

Premium MemberThe Sword, the Spear, and the Shield

As the Nordic gods all gathered around
for there is a treasure that I have found
The Celtic gods all came as well
To listen to what I had to tell

For the Fenris Wolf has been unleashed
no one shall save Odin from this beast
Both the gods of Aesir and Vanir alike
when comes Ragnarok will have to strike

Brother against brother shall fight this day
And the Midgard serpent no one can slay
Thor takes three steps, after being bitten by the snake
no man or god will ever see him awake

As the Celtic gods, all looked on in awe
None of them could foresee the fall of Thor
So the Celtic tribe of Danaan formulated a plan
to help the Norse gods they’d be led by Bran

The mother of the gods, Danu was there too
And the Morrigu joined in with their Ravens flew
Nuada and Lugh led their warriors to the field
With the sword of light, a magical spear, and shield

But the Norns had weaved in runes this event
and no matter how they tried they could not prevent
The outcome may be bleak but there is some relief
A man and woman survive in the Old Norse belief
