Tvö stingandi strá
titra í andvara örvænting
í andlitum mannanna
Eftir styr einhver spyr
Hver vann hana?
Skálmöld skellur á
á svipstundu horfin er hámenning
í flóðbylgju syndanna
Háð er stríð hverfa líf
upp til himnanna
Eftir styr einhver spyr
Ekkert svar...
Rústirnar sjá aðeins rautt skynja
róstur í spilaborg allt hrynja
Borgin sem blæðandi
höfuðlaus her
Þjóð með mikinn mátt deyja
styrjöld með höfuð hátt deyja
