War of the Gods - Amon Amarth

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 Asgard walls

Razed to the ground.

The Vanir felt deceived,

Hönir was a fool,

Without Mímir at his side

Hönir could not rule.

In a fit of violent rage

Mímir's blood was shed

And to Oden’s court they sent

Mímir's severed head.

Truce!

So a brittle and

Frail peace was

Forged!

And to ensure

That the peace remained

Njörð and Frej

To Asgard came

and Hön' and Mim'

To Vanaheimr.

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 hindrar det

Från att ruttna.

Han kvad sina

Trollsånger över det

Så att Mímir åter

Kunde tala till honom.

The Vanir felt deceived,

Hönir was a fool,

Without Mímir at his side

Hönir could not rule.

In a fit of violent rage

Mímir's blood was shed

And to Oden’s court they sent

Mímir's severed head.
