Sōl ond Māni is inspired by Scandinavian mythology and explores the relationship between the loss of light and the loss of life.

It tells the story of the Sun and the Moon being chased by two mythological wolves until the time of Ragnarök. The wolves will catch them when that fated time comes, and their light will spill like blood until there will be no light left. This will leave the world in fimbulwinter: only darkness and conflict remains.

Lyrics:

I know who hunts
I know what Sōl is fleeing for

He smells her
He sees her
He follows her

The Sun, she flees
The shadow-wolf, he growls
The shadow-wolf howls

Sköll approaches
Sōl biting
Her light
spills like blood

I know who hunts
I know what Māni is fleeing for

He smells him
He sees him
He follows him

The Moon, he flees
The hate-wolf, he growls
The hate-wolf howls

Hati approaches
Māni biting
His light
spills like blood
