WAR!
The very first war of our
WORLD!
When the treacherous
Witch was killed
Three times burned
The three times born
By searing flames
Was Gullveig torn
DEATH!
Oden hurled his spear
Off with great
FORCE!
Deep into the great vana-fyrd
Battle horns
Gave up their sound
And Asgård walls
Razed to the ground
The Vanir felt deceived
Höne was a fool
Without Mimr at his side
Höne could not rule
In a fit of violent rage
Mimr's blood was shed
And to Oden's court they sent
Mimr's severed head
TRUCE!
So a brittle and
Frail peace was
FORGED!
And to ensure
That the peace remained
Njord and Freyr
To Asgård came
And Hön' and Mim'
To Vanaheim
DEATH!
See the furious
Gods wanting
BLOOD!
Oden knew
That a raging war
Would not bring
Them any gain
Just leave a black
And bitter stain
Oden tog huvudet och
Smorde det med örter
Som hindrade det
Från att ruttna
Han kvad sedan
Trollsånger över det
Så att Mimr åter
Kunde tala till honom
The Vanir felt deceived
Höne was a fool
Without Mimr at his side
Höne could not rule
In a fit of violent rage
Mimr's blood was shed
And to Oden's court they sent
Mimr's severed head
