The Death Of Baldr

In my dreams I see my fate

Life is taken from me

Thus there was an oath from all

Never to harm Baldr

But one was too young to take this oath...

Take this bow as I guide your aim,

Even the blind may honour their kin...

Thus was the bane of the beautiful God

There was much despair

That deed began the end of things..

"With such a fell time we are faced

One is to blame for what has become

Soon he will face a terrible vengeance

For all that he has done...

Grief overwhelms, the end of all things

Is now at hand as envy subsides

One must ride the road to Hel

If we are to see the fallen son again...

Odins son Hermod the Bold

Will ride as the wind

To the second son

Now prepared is a funeral pyre

To send forth all that was

Nine dark nights, the ride to Hel

Comes he to the hall at last

"O! Hel,I beg of thee,

By the tears of the Aesir

That you may let me brother ride

With me back to his home

By guile was he taken from here..."

"This I say, if all will weep

Then I shall let your brother leave".

Thus it was spoken that all things

Shed their tears in his name

But there was one that would not weep...

"Thokk will weep

dry tears at Baldr's funeral pyre

Alive or dead the old man's

son gave me no joy.

Let Hel hold what she has"

Deciever, no shape or hide

Can spare you from revenge

You tread your fatal and final path

No mercy will you be shown

In this cave your eivl is bound

Bound by your own son's

Guts you shall remain

Underneat the poison

Forever you will lie

But come will the day

When bonds will break...
