War of the Gods歌詞

War of the Gods
War, the very first war of our world
When the treacherous wench was killed
Three times burned and three times born
By searing flames was Gullveig torn
Death, Odin hurled his spear off with great force
Deep into the great vana-fyrd
Battle horns gave off their sound
And Asgard was razed to the ground
The Vanir felt deceived
Hænir was a fool
Without Mímir at his side
Hænir could not rule
In a fit 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 ease was forged
Into a shattered piece to make
Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came
And Hænir and Mímir to Vanaheim
Death, see the furious gods washed in 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 fit 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 fit of violent rage
Mímir's blood was shed
And to Odin's court
They sent Mímir's severed head
