Thanks to the band for the sharing.

Pure was the aesir Balder , Allfather mighty's son

Invulnerable and fairest, as god among gods stands

Breidablick in heaven, his castle in the sky

There resides no evil, only laughter and lustful smiles

Loki dark and deceitful, found Balders weakness

A mistletoe dart secretly stuck on brother's arrow

Hoder drew the bow, as many times before

As a game aimed at Balder, but the aesir dead now dropped

Hringhorn now Balder carries to Hel's domain

As Tokk did not mourn him, Niflheim to be his home

Odin sacrificed Draupner, but Nanna's heart broke

His wife also lifeless, now comes Hel hastily

Then came time for blood revenge, aesir angry were

Of Loki's time in freedom, not much was left

The wily went to Mimir, for advise to avoid aesirs iron

But the wise giant refuses to lend Loki his strength

Fleeing then, cowardly Loki, and with sorcery hides

But Oden will not be fooled , his sorcery helps not

Thor leads the army with Mjolnir tightly in hand

Captures Balders bane at a godforsaken beach

Over three boulders the dark one is secured with ropes

and hissing venom drops cleaves Loki's soul apart

Fimbul has now begun, dark and awfully cold

hear Garms hungry roar
