"Helheim" lyrics

I am daughter of Loki, I am queen of the dead
They turn away their faces, yet they whisper my name
I am exiled from Asgard, and feared by the gods
Cast out from your kingdom, a grave guardian

I walk barefoot in the land of the dead
And the land of the heavens is where I shall be
For your soul remains clenched in my fist, your life is mine
To the weak, the fallen, the frail
To the cowards, the spineless - I am

Hel, goddess of the rotten
Their bodies will build my throne
Banned from Valhalla
Now their ashes will build my throne

Banned from Valhalla
Your ashes will build my
Prison for the bloodless, and a realm for the weak
Their crying stills my thirst, and their wails are my hymns
No pyres will be lit for the battle-spurned, forevermore
A dish named hunger, with a knife called famine

I am Hel, goddess of the rotten
Their bodies will build my throne
Banned from Valhalla, now their ashes will build my throne

Hel, goddess of the rotten
Their bodies will build my throne
Exiled, banished from Asgard
Await me at the shore

Half my face is corrupted, the other one is flesh
I drag your cadaver up my frozen stairs
Harbard will guide you across the river

Waves break while I will feast on your flesh
Half of me living, and half is decayed
Helheim, echo the hordes - I will await you at the shore
Helheim, mother of death
Half of me living, and half is decayed
