War of the Gods

Lyrics

War
 The very first war of our world
 When the treacherous witch was killed
 3 times burned, the 3 times born
 By searing flames was Gullveig torn
 Death
 Odin hurled his spear up with great force
 Deep into the great vana-fyrd
 Battle horns gave off their sound
 And Asgard walls razed to the ground
 ♪
 The Vanir felt deceived
 Hænir was a fool
 Without Mímir at his side, Hænir could not rule
 In a field of violent rage
 Mímir's blood was shed
 And to Odin's court they sent, Mímir's severed head
 ♪
 Truce
 So a brittle and frail peace was forged
 And to ensure that the peace remained
 Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came
 And Hænir and Mim to Vanaheim
 Death
 See the furious gods wanting blood
 And Odin knew that the way to war
 Would not bring them any gain
 Just leave a black and bitter stain
 ♪
 Odin tog huvudet och smorde det med örter
 Som hindrar det från att ruttna
 Han kvad sina trollsånger över det
 Så att Mimer åter kunde tala till honom
 ♪
 The Vanir felt deceived
 Hænir was a fool
 Without Mímir at his side, Hænir could not rule
 In a field of violent rage
 Mímir's blood was shed
 And to Odin's court they sent, Mímir's severed head
 The Vanir felt deceived
 Hænir was a fool
 Without Mímir at his side, Hænir could not rule
 In a field of violent rage
 Mímir's blood was shed
 And to Odin's court they sent, Mímir's severed head
