Descend to the icy depths
Of Nifelheim
Far to the north in the underground
Frozen in darkness she is bound
Of ice and sorrow she is lord
Of the realm and the home
Of the dead sick Nord
Hidden deep where we all must go
Is the land of the dead in the ice and snow
As she fell
Broken and scarred
One half is normal the other is death
Crippled by judgment undeserved
The fiend was created
To govern the void
Thrown from the halls
Is the queen of twilight
When we all die
She will claim our souls
Hel, goddess of the underground Mistress of the void
Hel, sovereign of the mortal soul Bound with her lonely crown
Done nothing wrong
She was thrown
Nonetheless from halls of Asgard
Monster in the eye of the Allfather
With spiteful discrimination tossed
To rule the frozen wasteland
Of the dead and hopeless
As she fell
Broken and scarred
One half is normal the other is death
Crippled by judgment undeserved
The fiend was created
To govern the void
Mother of the sick
And the broken
Scarred by her fall
As she takes her crown
Hel, goddess of the underground Mistress of the void
Hel, sovereign of the mortal soul Bound with her lonely crown
Who is at fault
Who shall we blame
Locked in the kingdom
That shares her name
The pain of the wicked
Is hers to dispense
In the cold where the ice and snow Are immense
Where there is no escape
Shall she ever remain
And the Allfather
Sent her to govern the frozen domain
Descend
Descend
To the icy depths
Of Nifelheim
Hel, goddess of the underground Mistress of the void
Hel, sovereign of the mortal soul Bound with her lonely crown
