In fires of Hel, in fogs of Niflheim,

Storm-like from pole to pole, o'erwhelming all.—

The Twilight of the Gods, behold, it comes!

The Twilight of the Gods!—The root-red cock

I seem to hear crow in the halls of Hel!

The blood-red cock, whose cry shall bid thee rise!

"But, oh! thy face! paler it seemeth now

Than icy marble; and the serpent writhes

Its rustling coils and twists its livid length,

Hissing, above thee, pouring eternal pain.—
