Steinhald - Fyrstu Goðin Vakna (The First Gods Awaken) | Old Norse Viking Music

A song shaped around the first dawn of creation, when fire met ice and the bones of the giant Ymir carried the weight of a newborn world. This hymn follows the rise of Odin, Vili, and Ve, the trio who carved the skies open and breathed life into dust.

Steinhald keeps the raw pulse of old myth, deep drums, low choirs, and a slow fire glowing under every line. The tale moves through blood, stone, and breath, until the first humans stand in the wind, carried by the will of the gods who built the world from ruin.

English Translation:
From Ymir’s flesh ran fire and blood,
from Auðumbla’s milk came life.
They woke in harsh light,
Búri’s sons with fire in hand.

Odin, Vili, Ve rise from the deep,
shaping the world from drifting chaos.
From Ymir’s fall they forge the realm,
from darkness the world is born.

They lifted the sky from Ymir’s skull,
laid the earth in the drifting sea.
From bones rose mountains and sand,
from flesh came the sacred land.

Odin, Vili, Ve rise from the deep,
shaping the world from drifting chaos.
From Ymir’s fall they forge the realm,
from darkness the world is born.

They breathed life into ask and embla,
saw souls in the wind’s quiet voice.
From their words human ways awoke,
from night’s terror rose the peace of day.

They stood beside the mark of fire,
the sky burned, life found a name.
From first breath to final spark,
the echo of gods rolled wide and deep.
