War of the Gods
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
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

In a field of violent rage

And to Odin's court they sent, Mímir's severed head
