The song ‘’Ginnungagap’’ tells the story of the creation of all living matter. Before the beginning there was only a big yawning void called Ginnungagap. In the northern part of Ginnungagap lays the cold Nilfheim and in the south the heat of Muspelheim. The process of life began when Nilfheim and Muspelheim met in the middle of Ginnungagap.

Lyrics in Old Norse
Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi
Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána
Hendi inni hœgri um himinjódyr
Sól þat ne vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat ne vissi hvat hann megins átti
Stjörnur þat ne vissu hvar þær staði áttu
-
Of old was the age, when Ymir lived
Sea nor cool waves, nor sand there were
Earth had not been, nor heaven above
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere
The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south
Her right hand cast over heaven's rim
No knowledge she had where her home should be
The moon knew not what might was his
The stars knew not where their stations were
