Notices: I used one channel for all the other instruments (like
the trumpets, clarinets, string ensemble, etc) just for
being simple, so, you can see a lot of sevenths in the
tab (in fact all the tab is full of sevenths). There are a
few parts that i couldn't hear too well so, like the most
of the tabs, this is not a error free tab, so i expect you
to correct it if you want. And, to end with, i'm not a
bass player and i couldn't hear the bass in the song,
so, i have no damn idea about the bass.

Lyric

(The Black hole)

(In the beginning there was a void, a big gap of darkness, filled with the primal forces of creation. The heat of Muspel and the ice of Nifel made the essence of life come forth from the void. The first living being, The Giant Ymer, was born out of darkness and he is the ancestor of the creatures of the universe. The world was formed from his slaughtered body. Ginnungagap is the black hole from which everything came out and into which everything will return in the end.)

Fall deep into Void
(in the) black hole of Nothing

(Soprano:)
Hail, Flow of Vergelmar
Hail, Flow of Vergelmar
Hail, Flow of Vergelmar
Hail, Old Void!

(Alto:)
Hail, Flow of Vergelmar
Heat of creation
Hail, Flow of Vergelmar
Hail, Old Void!

(Tenor/bass:)
Spark in the Nothingness
Heat of creation
Make the ice start to melt
life wake up in the void.

Ymer is born, fire and ice
Chaos will form, Megin will rise

Fader Ymer drack från urkon
En ström av mjölk som gav oss liv.

Öppna gapet i rymdens mitt
Flöda av blod från Ymers kropp
Världar skapas utav hans kött
Nio (till) antal på Yggdrasil.

Ymers gap - Ymers runa
Ymers ond - Ymers urlag
