Ymir

from Edda by David Stahl

/

lyrics

A sound that precedes the silence
Commotion before the calm
An endlessly stretched horizon
compressed until it equals one

From Ymir's flesh, the world was made
and from his blood, the sea
Crafted of bone, mountains and stone
and from his mind... Eternity!

Ever after, just as before
So it goes on forever
Use this key to unlock the door
Just divide always by never

The chaos before creation
A witness before the dawn
A breath of illumination
The fire that lit the Sun

An author of untold stories
The builder of time destroyed
A world turning convoluted
Careening out into the void

Ever after, just as before
So it goes forever
Use this key to unlock the door
Just divide always by never
Hard to focus where you're going
when you've broken what you came from
Multiply always by never
It's such a futile equation
