Hermod's Ride to Hel - Lokes Treachery Part 1 lyrics

[Hermod:]

Ride Sleipner

Ride for all you're worth

Faster then lightning,

To the dark realms of the world

Through valleys of darkness

On our way to Nifelheim

To the halls of Hel

Where my brother awaits

Wailing voices on the wind

Urging me to turn

Distant tortured screams

Cold blue fires burn

I hear the sound of river Gjöll

Running cold and deep

It's a golden bridge shines in the dark

The bridge that Modgud keeps

Over the bridge, on through the night

Hel is getting near

There are the gates, towering high

Afflicting me with fear

In her hall, at the honor seat

My brother sits in pain

Pale and tortured Balder greats

Bound by invisible frozen chains

[Hermod:]

I have come, to bring him back with me

The whole world mourns his death!

Please set Balder free

Give him back his breath!

[Hel:]

If it's true, what you say to me

That the whole world mourns his death.

If the whole world will weep I'll give him back his breath!
