| "An outcast, an outlaw..." |
Under the Tree: NidhoggUnder the roots
Of Yggdrasil mighty
Darkness reigns supreme
No light there shines
No beacon, no sight
Only silence and darkest night.
Yet further still
There lurks a monster
Hungry, awake, and imprisoned
Trapped underneath
The bars of the tree
Where serpents wind and sleep.
An outcast, an outlaw
So great, yet fallen
Evil and vile to the core
No honor, no love
Quiet, yet raging
And living in midnight eternal.
Horrific monster?
or damnable beast?
Chains imprison the wyrm
Though not with fire
And not with guile
Will Malice break free of his jail.
Instead upon the roots
Does the fell beast gnaw
Feasting on life and fear
The smaller beasts cower
And the gods remain ignorant
Of their fortress crying within.
Though great branches touch the sky
And ancient roots stretch deep
Nidhogg stays his wrath
The beasts are his food
And life is his drink
Down here in the under; he is death from below.
