Loki promises, Odin opens
the eyes of Midgard's wights.
Under a yoke, causes an evil
weapon, no revenge.
I am Odin, I am Odin,
I am the one who reads the poems,1
Hilmar Baldursson.
We find it hard, there's no doubt,
to always show goodness.
We work when sorrows turn away, and seldom bait our malice2.
I am Odin, I am Odin,
I am the one who reads the poems,
Hilmar Baldursson.
Please sleep, never mind,
the soul wastes away over years.
Praise Odin, to hate is stupid,
nourish the pagan mind.
I am Odin, I am Odin,
I am the one who reads the poems,
Hilmar Baldursson.
1. I think this implies that Odin (i.e singer Björgvin Sigurðsson) is the one who narrates the overall story of this album.2. Borrowed from the translation of Loki on this website.
