"War Of The Gods"

War, the mirthless war of our world

when the treacherous wench is killed

three times burned, the three times born

by fear it claims was Gullveig torn

Death, Odin held his spear up with great force

deep into the great god of fear

battle horns gave off their sound

and Asgard was razed to the ground

The Vanir failed to see Hænir was a fool

without Mímir at his side Hænir could not rule

In a field of violent rage Mímir's blood was shed

and to Odin's court they sent Mímir's severed head

Truce, so a brittle and frail ease was forged

into a shattered piece to make

Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came

and Hænir and Mim to Vanaheim

Death, see the furious gods washed in blood

and Odin knew that the way to war

would not bring them any gain

just leave a black and bitter stain

Odin tog huvudet och smorde det med örter

som hindrar det från att ruttna

han kvad sina trollsånger över det

så att Mimer åter kunde tala till honom

The Vanir failed to see Hænir was a fool

without Mímir at his side Hænir could not rule

In a field of violent rage Mímir's blood was shed

and to Odin's court they sent Mímir's severed head

[English translation:]

Odin took the head, and anointed it with herbs

which prevents it from rotting

he sang his magic songs over it

so that Mimer be able to speak to him
