*Verse 1:* In the depths of Niflheim, where shadows never fade, A queen of silent sorrow, where the lost are laid. Half a face of beauty, half a visage blue, Guardian of the fallen, cold as morning dew. *Chorus:* Hel, daughter of the twilight, keeper of the lost, Ruler of the underworld, where life's thread is tossed. In your icy kingdom, silence echoes deep, Hel, where the restless wander, forever in their sleep. *Verse 2:* From Odin's sight you vanished, cast into the night, With Fenrir and Jormungandr, children of the fright. Yet in your realm, so distant, lies a solemn grace, A place of endless stillness, beneath the starless space. *Chorus:* Hel, daughter of the twilight, keeper of the lost, Ruler of the underworld, where life's thread is tossed. In your icy kingdom, silence echoes deep, Hel, where the restless wander, forever in their sleep. *Bridge:* When Baldr fell to darkness, the gods they came to plead, But Hel, you held the power, in their hour of need. A tear from every being, to free him from your grasp, Yet one refused, and thus he stayed, in your cold clasp. *Chorus:* Hel, daughter of the twilight, keeper of the lost, Ruler of the underworld, where life's thread is tossed. In your icy kingdom, silence echoes deep, Hel, where the restless wander, forever in their sleep. *Outro:* In the realms of Norse gods, your legend will endure, Hel, the silent watcher, where souls are kept secure. In the shadows of eternity, your name is softly sung, The queen of cold and quiet, where the endless night is hung. *Outro:* In the realms of Norse gods, your legend will endure, Hel, the silent watcher, where souls are kept secure. In the shadows of eternity, your name is softly sung, The queen of cold and quiet, where the endless night is hung.
