Eater of Worlds.

"Scales tough as diamond..."

Eater of Worlds: Jormungand
Under the silence of the deep
There rests a darkness foul and profane
Slumbering tight in endless sleep
All who could oppose it now broken and maimed
One single heart beats slowly through the ages
Eyes of the beast still shut
Though eons may pass and mankind still rages
The hunger of the Beast - for now - remains glut.

Two orbs of fire shine through the abyss
A monster awake and alive
To feast on the world and on mortals' bliss
Even the gods cannot survive
The earth is afraid and men are the prey
Of the ungodly beast fast as an arrow
Rending metal like straw and stone like clay
The beacon of man falls into shadow.

Rippled coils unwind and shake the earth
The mountains broken and cities drowned
Fire and ash beget unholy birth
The beginning of the end - salvation never found
As the people weep at their broken world
A presence makes itself clear
One lost voice will at last be heard
That of Jormungand; bringer of Fear.

Gods will be slain and oceans shall boil
Yet not even they can outlast
The Serpent that holds the world in its coilsAnd when it lets go, peace shatters like glass
Though thunder and lightning may best the snake
Its venom will fell the last divine
Mjollnir will tumble, the ground will quake
And monsters and legends fall into the brine.
