Nunatak

The face of the earth has changed... and ever will

While ice sheets all around my throne are dying, but still…

Rockfall, hail and sleet I cast from my exile mountain peak

Through englacial fields I wander haunting wastelands pale and bleak

I'm starving from a hunger no earthly roughage could allay

I scent the trails of yore and leave the one that led astray

Primal is my heart, carnival my soul

I wander amongst beasts of an era yet to grow

Diamonds carbonise to non-allotropic coal

An Ettin urge I feel and the seed of yore I sow

The world is silent, the glacial cloak retreated

The crown of beasts is yet to win, a hegemon is needed

I step inside the vibrant circle entering the forces field

My spark-like seed ignites old roots and gilded fruits I yield

In wondrous beauty once again I wade the kettle holes

And like an outburst flood I call my sibship from the poles

Primal is my heart, carnival my soul

I wander amongst beasts of an era yet to grow

Diamonds carbonise to non-allotropic coal

An Ettin urge I feel and the seed of yore I sow

The forebears of your gods I keep alive in all my scars

My hegemonic kin, a perpetual dynasty

An everlasting rule beneath the seven stars

Elemental force unleash and set my spirit free

I revive the oldest blood line for my claim is absolute

Jotnar Risar Thursar Gýgjar Fornjót Kári Jokull Snærr hinn gamli

I am the startle to the days of slumber

I am the paths carved in virgin stone

I am the hail to your grain

I am the vibrancy, the primordial tone

Primal is my heart, carnival my soul

I wander amongst beasts of an era yet to grow

Diamonds carbonise to non-allotropic coal

An Ettin urge I feel and the seed of yore I sow

The forebears of your gods I keep alive in all my scars

My hegemonic kin, a perpetual dynasty

An everlasting rule beneath the seven stars

Elemental force unleash by the spirit of the three

From plain to grain

From seed to greed

From ground to mound

How do you plead?
