Fimbul

The winters 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 were long and cold, the Mayan calendar was said to end at winter solstice 2012. Fukushima had a melt-down and there was a huge volcano eruption on Iceland, the middle East was in turmoil and the economy of southern Europe was extremely bad. What could go wrong? The winter 2011/2012 was warm and there was no Ragnarök.

We’ve already had two
hard winters in a row.
Now we’re waiting for the third.
where the summer almost ends
before the melting of the snow
It’s the Fimbulwinter, mark my word.

It’s the period of coldness
that precedes Ragnarök
or call it Armageddon if you like
At the winter solstice next year
we know much better if
the crushing power of judgement will strike

You can see it all around you.
You can smell it in the air.
The shit has already hit the fan
with earthquakes and volcanoes,
disorder everywhere.
Even China syndrome in Japan

It seems we have come to an end.
It seems to be our fate,
as the Mayans predict the final fall
to wintertime next year.
The end.
All signs indicate
that we live in the last days of this world.
Ragnarök is near.

The horsemen of apocalypse
are saddling their horses
to ride the surface of the earth.
They’re doing good in Africa
starting conflicts and wars
where civilization saw it’s own birth.

And Famine has already
turned acres into dust
creating starvation and rage.
Exporting food to the western world
We enjoy it with lust.
Eutrophication is our Plague.

It seems we have come to an end, but not really yet…

It seems we have come to an end.
All signs indicate
that we live in the last days of this world.
Ragnarök is near.
The end.
You have to contemplate
that the Mayans predict the final fall
to wintertime next year.

We’re consuming far too much.
We’re consuming much too fast,
stealing from our children.
This will never last.
We’ll soon see countries falling
from the burden of their debts.
Economy is stalling.
I hope I’m not correct,
but if I am, you’ll never know
what’s next, what will come.
We’ll plant a seed that will grow
and maybe there’ll be some
future archeologist
that find what we have left
and understand the consequence
of egoism and theft.

It seems we have come to an end.
All signs indicate
that we live in the last days of this world.
Ragnarök is here.
