War' the mirthless war of our world

When the treacherous wench is killed

Three times burned' the three times born

By fear it claims 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 haenir was fool

Without mirnir at his side haenir could not rule

In a field of violent rage mimir's blood was shed

And to odin's court they sent mimir'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 haenir 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 orter

Som hindrar det fran att ruttna

Han kvad sina trollsanger over det

Sa att mimer ater kunde tala till honom

·

The vanir failed to see haenir was a fool

Without mimir at his side haenir could not rule

In a field of violent rage mimir's blood was shed

And to odin's court they sent mimir's severed head

The vanir failed to see haenir was a fool

Without mimir at his side haenir could not rule

In a field of violent rage mimir's blood was shed

And to odin's court they sent mimir's severed head
