I'm going to disagree with Geoff on this one and agree with TheTrooper. Everything about this song and its context points to Ragnarok ("lost prophecy, Forgotten legacy"). Yes the excerpt is from the Kalevela but its not used in context in the poem, that section can have any meaning you want it to when its out of context, and since it's put into this song, it fits with the Ragnarok meaning. Also the line "burnt all the trees to dust" is important because all tress would include Yggdrasil and that is the end of the world when that happens (Ragnarok). Odin isn't specifically mentioned in this but he is commonly associated with the form of a Raven and the raven in this song foretells this prophecy, hence Ragnarok. |
