about
Mjolnir is Intrøspect’s first single from their forthcoming Sophomore EP 'Midnight Sun' scheduled for release March, 2021.
Mjolnir takes its name from the Norse god Thor’s famous hammer, which grants him devastating power, and the ability to bend the forces of nature to his will. The song makes the case that we (as humans) now possess these godlike powers, but are not yet evolved enough to use them wisely. This is our first song written primarily by lead guitarist Loko McDonald, and is the beginning of a new, heavier sound for Intrøspect.
lyrics
Behold!
Our empire stands on broken bones
Grey spires twist the knife and cut the stars from the sky
[from the sky]
Our mother’s ablaze and she’s going down
This is the price of ambition
Murderers! Murderers!
We have forsaken her love
We forgot we were a part of what was lost
Gifts from the earth are placed in our palm
From the seed, we grow and expand
Forceful ascension
At what cost? At what cost?
This is ascension now [this is ascension now]
This is ascension now
Mjolnir, strike the ground
Break the bones of the earth
What is the price to be paid? Who will wipe away the blood?
Mjolnir, strike the ground
Break her to dust, and to the dust we return
Our world so fragile, suspended in a beam of light
A miracle abandoned [drifting endlessly]
This is ascension now [at what cost]
This is ascension now [at what cost]
This is ascension now [at what cost]
At what cost?
We are, gods without grace
We are, leaving her embrace
If this is ascension now, commit my soul to the earth
And Strike her down!
