Ginnungagap was the void which existed between Niflheim and Muspelheim, the worlds of ice and fire, before Odin, Víli and Vé created the universe using the corpse of giant Ymir.
The meaning of the adjective “ginnungr” is still debated. Some scholars suggested that it might mean “wide open”.

I know a transcription in runes of such a text doesn’t really have any reason to be, if not as a treat, but yeah…that’s just what it is, bear with me.

Any suggestion and/or observation is warmly welcome.

The lyrics are pronounced as modern Icelandic, instead of using Old Norse pronunciation: e.g. they sing “á” with its Icelandic pronunciation [au], instead of a simple [a:].
