Tartarum - Cosmology

Once, at the dawn of time
There stood eternal silence
Chaotic darkness
Enclosed by ice and fire
Day after day
They both attract each other
Frost met the flames
The ice melt by the fire

All nine worlds, beggining to form
Assembling
Endless pit, beginning to fill
with daylight

Drops of the melted ice
Formed up a godlike giant
Hermaphrodite like worms
His sweat gave birth to others

Another melted splash
Emerged a primal cattle
Her warm tongue melt the ice
From where the Aesir gods would rise

Buri! Bor!
The Aesir gods tribe’s firstborns
Bestla! Bor!
Their sons half-god half-giant
Vili! Ve!
The one-eyed father’s brothers
They slay! They kill!
They three will slaughter Ymir

The giant’s corpse lays still
While Aesir gods form worlds
His blood, makes oceans
The rotting skin is soil
His skull, blue skies
Two trunks, Embla and Ask
In Midgard, they dwell
While death is what created life!

All nine worlds, beggining to form
Assembling
Endless pit, beginning to fill
with daylight
