Hljóðs bið ek allar
helgar kindir,
meiri ok minni
mögu Heimdallar
viltu at ek, Valföðr,
vel framtelja
forn spjöll fíra,
þau er fremst um man.
Ár var alda
þar er Ýmir bygði,
vara sandr né sær
né svalar unnir,
jörð fannsk æva
né upphiminn,
gap var ginnunga,
en gras hvergi.
Brœðr munu berjask
ok at bönum verðask,
munu systrungar
sifjum spilla.
Skelfr Yggdrasilsaskr standandi,
ymr it aldna tré,
en jötunn losnar.
Sól tér sortna,
sígr fold í mar,
hverfa af himni
heiðar stjörnur
geisar eimi
ok aldrnari,
leikr hár hiti
við himin sjálfan.
Geyr nú Garmr mjök
fyr Gnípahelli;
festr man slitna,
en freki renna
fjöld veit ek frœða,
fram sé ek lengra,
um ragnarök
römm sigtíva.
Sér hon upp koma
öðru sinni
jörð ór œgi
iðjagrœna;
falla forsar,
flýgr örn yfir,
sá er á fjalli
fiska veiðir.
Sal sér hon standa
sólu fegra
gulli þakðan
á Gimlé,
þar skulu dyggvar
dróttir byggja
ok um aldrdaga
ynðis njóta.
Wardruna is a Norwegian folk music project founded in 2003 by Einar "Kvitrafn" Selvik. The name of the group derives from the Old Norse word "wardrún", meaning "rune of war". Wardruna's sound is based on traditional Scandinavian instruments, such as the runestone, bagpipes and tambourine, combined with electronic elements. Their songs are often inspired by Norse mythology and pre-Christian culture of Northern Europe. Besides Selvik, over the years they have collaborated with various musicians, including Kristian Espedal (Gaahl) and Lindy Fay Hella. Wardruna has released five studio albums: *Runaljotr* (2009), *Yggdrasil* (2013), *Skald* (2016), *Kvitravn* (2018) and *Ragnarok* (2021). Their work has been used in several film productions, including the television series Vikings. Some of their most representative songs include "Runaljotr", "Helvegen" and "Bolverk".
