War Of The Gods Songtext / Lyric

War, the very first war of our world,
When the treacherous witch was killed
Three times burned and three times born,
By searing flames was Gullveig torn. Death, Odin held his spear up with great force
Deep into the great god of fear.
battle horns gave off their sound
And Asgard was razed to the ground. The Vanir failed to see 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 ease was forged
To ensure that the peace remained.
Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came
and Hænir and Mim 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 failed to see 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
