Monadnok - Corpse-Ripper Lyrics

At the root of the dying world tree
Lies the foremost serpent, on damned souls he feeds
Lord of the coldest Ice, on the low shore of the corpses
The root in Niflheim, he gnaws on most remorseless

I lay dying with no sword gripped in my hand
I see my coward's blood flowing through the sand

Please don't send me to the ripper down below
My life is yours to take, don't make this killing blow

A life of disgrace I have lived as I sought my way
Decisions I have made have led me to this day

I feel the life start to leave my body
Quick death he will not grant, I deserve no mercy
Valkyries won't come for me, I won't see Valhalla
I start to feel the cold come creeping, carry me down below

I see his cold dead eyes under his serpent's crown
His jaws open wide as he comes to take my soul
