Death of Balder Lyrics by Havamal

Tales from Yggdrasil

0

[Verse 1]
This dire tale I bring to you
A story without hope
An event that sealed the Aesir reigns demise
The story I must tell to you
The tale of Balder's fate
Will echo through the memories of time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dreams told of death
That Hel was prepared
To accept Balder when he dies
Frigg made everything
Swear on its pride
That all sort of harm
Her son could defy
[Verse 2]
Balder was immortal
And the gods amused themselves
By striking him so brutally and raw
But Loki had other plans
His heart was growing dark
And the end of Balder in his mind he saw
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Out of a mistletoe and arrow he did forge
And placed it in Hödrs Hand
The blinded bond of blood
The arrow did shoot
And Balder's life was banned from Aesirland
[Chorus 1]
Balder your fate is sealed
Death from a blind man's shot
The end times will bleed for you
And the world as we know it will be forgot
Einherjars fulfill your oath
The Norns holds your fate
There stand the world-tree dimmed and charred
Now fight for it, unleash Odin's hate
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Ride for seven days and night
Cry out for my son
Hel will promise redemption if your sorrow will be shown
Töck refused to bow or mourn "He stays below" she said
And therefore Balder once again was cursed back to the dead
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Höder must pay, Loki must pay
For their crimes against our own kind
Höder was slain by his own son in rage
While ravens they traced down the source of the sin
[Chorus 2]
Balder your fate is sealed
Death from a blind man's shot
Loki caught in a cave
His treachery would seal his fate
Cold winds chilled whispers bring
A conflict to end them all
Vengeance through Loki's deed
Will be our final fall
[Outro]
Now that Balder's gone our worlds will burn
Through Ragnarök our world... must... fall
Oh, oh cruel world
