Ode to mighty deeds

The dawn of all times, fathers of all glory
Gods and warriors, their world was our haven
Then came the bloody war, the bringer of mystery
A priorly never known strife, a root to obscurity
Raise your swords, your mysterious weapons
Your beaten gold helmets and majestic summons

Battlefields shall bear the bloodshed
Meadows once green, now red
The mighty wall into dust
Defend asgard, we must
Through the deafening thud
From foes sparing no blood
Such spoke the raven, for it tells no lies
Gullveig was once slaughtered in the land of ice
Revenge, mimir was beheaded, so died the wise
Furious gods, wisely blinded, revenge at any price

Such uttered the bear a hideous war was up to call
Sublime spears thrown in the sacred hall
Much blood wasted, neither asgard nor vanaheim will fall
Sorrows of endless loss, both realms shall bear
For it’s better to mourn ones loved so dear
Than endure grievances of shameful defeat
With an unfair trade it came to an end
And thus the end brought again a new life
All for the eternal divine land
Brothers were stabbed by the fate's knife

Such spoke the raven, for it tells no lies
Gullveig was once slaughtered in the land of ice
Revenge, mimir was beheaded, so died the wise
Furious gods, wisely blinded, revenge at any price
Day after day it became clear to me
What a witch once said, she have clearly seen
Gods are no longer where have they been
Prayers lost everywhere, drawn in the bottom of the sea
Greed can never be the right path
Blindfolded anger is the first step of the endless rage
