Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:03][music] [music] >> Claw at the ground.

[00:00:15]Teeth at the root.

[00:00:18]Yggdrasil shudders under insult and tooth.

[00:00:25]>> [music] >> Nidhogg below, the eagle above. [singing] Ratatoskr runs with the venom of tongues. High in the ash, [music] deep in the rot, hatred keeps climbing where silence DOES NOT. NIDHOGG [music] BELOW, the watcher on high. One gnaws the roots, one hardens the sky.

[00:00:52]And all [music] through the bark of the world tree's frame, old words keep burning without any [singing] flame.

[00:01:05]Under [music] the root where the dark things feed, Nidhogg labored with corpse-cold need, and not in a hunger that rises and ends, but in the patience that ruins and bends. Above [music] the WIND WHERE THE LAST BOUGHS STRAIN, the eagle watched with a frost-still gaze.

[00:01:18]No mercy there, no downward grace, only the height of a watching [music] face.

[00:01:23]>> HACKED THE TRUNK DOWN THE BILE, RATATOSKR CARRIED THE TEETH OF BILE. NIDHOGG BELOW, [music] the eagle above.

[00:01:36]Ratatoskr runs with the venom [music] of tongues. High in the ash, deep in the rot, hatred [music] keeps climbing where silence does not. Nidhogg [music] below, the watcher on high. One gnaws the roots, ONE HARDENS [music] THE SKY AND ALL THROUGH the bark of the world tree's frame old words keep burning without any flame.

[00:02:06]>> He ran with insult from crown to grave.

[00:02:09]A quick tongue wound through the living stave. But not to heal, not to warn, BUT TO KEEP OLD MALICE [music] fed and warm.

[00:02:15]From top to root and root to top, he made no peace and he never stopped. Each word a cut, each phrase [music] a thorn till bark remembered what hate had worn.

[00:02:24]Evil is carved in the living tree.

[00:02:29]Hatred runs through the ashen sea.

[00:02:33]Nidhogg [music] below.

[00:02:35]The eagle above.

[00:02:37]Ratatoskr runs with the venomous tongues high in the [music] ash. Deep in the roots, hatred keeps grinding where silence [music] does not.

[00:02:50]Nidhogg below. The water on high. One gnaws the roots, one hardens the sky. [music] And all through the bark of the world tree's frame old words keep burning without any flame.

[00:03:08]>> At the roots he gnaws.

[00:03:10]At the crown it sees.

[00:03:12]The world ash listens and [music] does not mend. Not every war begins with steel. Some start as words though roots can [music] feel.

[00:03:25]>> And Yggdrasil, great ash of fate, spurred with the [music] burden of upward hate. From Níðhöggr's mouth to the eagle's [music] scorn, the wound was carried and [singing] carried on.

[00:03:43]Nidhogg below.

[00:03:47]NIDHOGG BELOW.

[00:03:47]>> [music] >> NIDHOGG BELOW.

[00:03:53]>> [singing] >> Nidhogg below.

[00:04:00]>> [music] >> The eagle ABOVE WRAPPED [music] ITS CLAWS AROUND TILL THE bark had learned high [music] in the ash.

[00:04:11]DEEP IN THE ROOT, THE WORLD TREE held what the two COULD NOT.

[00:04:18]>> [music] >> THE WATCHER ON HIGH ROOT AGAINST [music] CROWN THROUGH THE living sky and all through the frame of the ash they knew.

[00:04:31]Hatred can climb where no blade cuts through. Claw at the crown, teeth at the root, and Yggdrasil trembled beneath them both.
