Latin Ragnarok De Dies Irae, l'Cie Pultis, Tuum fatum sequeris. Tuum sanctuarium affligeas. Ragnarok, Dominus Ultionis venit. Usque lux apparet, animae mortuae procusae sunt, Per somnum aeternum, numen divinum dictus est, Viator elamentabilis, Ragnarok. Ragnarok, De Dies Irae, l'Cie Pultis, Tuum fatum sequeris. Tuum mundum dispertaris. Ragnarok, Rex Immiserabilis advenit. Usque lux apparet, animae mortuae procusae sunt, Per somnum aeternum, numen divinum dictus est, Viator elamentabilis, Ragnarok.
