Hod Og Mistelteinen – Baldrs Draumar – letras

Sword nor axe could touch himUnharmed by forged steelGods trying their weaponsFound him hard to killThe pledge was sworn, the god was safeNothing to care aboutBut lovely little MistletoeWas too weak to swearKept a mysterious secretOne burden more to bearAs fast as light came MistletoeFlesh and heart he piercedSoaked the ground with guts and bloodBy word and oath preservedBut what he did and what he’d doneThe righteous god of wisdomWas never hailed in battle hymnsThough true came Baldr’s dreamsAncient giant LokiIntended to take the lightFrom he who was immortalAgainst power, sword and mightIn everlasting darknessHod took up a spearAnd killed with it his brotherSlaughtered like a deerEarthly life came to an endBut Baldr’s soul lived onAs fast as light came MistletoeFlesh and heart he piercedSoaked the ground with guts and bloodBy word and oath preservedBut what he did and what he’d doneThe righteous god of wisdomWas never hailed in battle hymnsThough true came Baldr’s dreamsBaldr’s dreams!Baldr’s dreams!
