Book of Gog: This is my going out on a limb here. However, Gog probably refers to Gog and Magog. They are descendants of Gomer who is a son of Japheth who is the son of Noah. In the Biblical context this would be the Indo-European peoples within the Table of Nations. Gog and Magog are leaders of feared tribes of warriors who come like horde. This was often used to denote the Germanic peoples but later the Huns or a merger of the two. Some them listed as the Scythian peoples, which also make sense in a genetic and migration understanding. In Islam they are a feared set of monsters, possibly giants, who Alexander the Great built a “holy” wall to protect lands from.
The book of Gog in this context probably refers to either Eastern religion or that of the Eddas.
Kabbalah Upsalica: Is another term for the Adulruna as it means “Runic system of Upsala”. Upsala was an important religious and cultural center for the Norse peoples.
Odin, Thor and Frey: While the there are various forms of “trinity” in the Indo-European faiths mostly with God and three persons (Odin, Vili, Ve) this form is using the Christian understanding of Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Odin being the Sky father, Thor the Son, and Frey the holy spirit.
The rest is pretty obvious as it discusses Asgard / Heaven and the various halls of the Gods and uniting your soul with them.
While I understand this is a song from a metal band, I think that understanding the context behind it and the breakdown of research the artists actually did can reveal a lot of cultural information. Music can easily convey messages and touch one’s soul via the frequencies and metaphysical understanding.
Often common place music can form a modern hymn or prayer.
Here is a link if you are interested in listening while reading.
