In the beginning there was nought but distant past There was nothing, nothing but a yawning Gap A great emptiness, unending formless and void No up, no down No light, no darkness No North nor South No East not West No sound not silence A chasm bound on either side by fire and ice Nifeheim of terrible cold and darkness of unbearable heat and flame = Muspelheim Ginnungagap = Gap of Ginnungs Ginnungagap "Ofold... Was the Age" Ginnungagap = Gap of Ginnungs Ginnungagap The Primeval Void, the Pre-creation Time From flesh to Earth From bone to Mountain From skull to Heaven...of the frost cold Giant from Blood = river and sea From teeth and bone shattered Rocks boulders and stone...of the frost cold Giant Muspelheims sparks made their way into the Gap And met with the ice of Nifelheim From melting poison drops = Ymer and Audbumbla formed Emergence of structure Reformed and life was born Reform... And life was born
