Amon Amarth - War Of The Gods Lyrics






War, the very first war of our world,
When the treacherous witch was killed
Three times burned and three times born,
By searing flames was Gullveig torn.

Death, Odin hurled his spear off with great force
Deep into the great vana-fyrd
battle horns gave up their sound
And Asgard walls razed to the ground.

The Vanir felt deceived
Höne was a fool
without Mímir at his side
Höne could not rule
In a fit 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 peace was forged
And to ensure that the peace remained.
Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came
and Hön' and Mim to Vanaheim

Death, see the furious gods wanting blood,
Odin knew that a raging 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 sedan
trollsånger över det
så att Mimer åter
kunde tala till honom

[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

The Vanir felt deceived
Höne was a fool
without Mímir at his side
Höne could not rule
In a fit of violent rage
Mímir's blood was shed
and to Odin's court they sent Mímir's severed head

  70. H.... F....

    The Vanir felt deceived
    Hitler was a fool
    Without Bieber at his side
    Hitler could not rule
    In a fit of violent rage
    Bieber's blood was shed
    And to Odin's court they sent Bieber's severed head

  71. R.... R....

    Should be Viking metal- not black metal..this song is f**KING AMAZING

    R.... R....

    @Bradley though viking metal stands for a lyric theme, not for a certain music. Should any band be progressive/folk metal (Tyr), power/folk (Turisas), power (Ensiferum, Runic), heavy (Einherjer), folk/black (Skalmold) or even melodeath (Amon Amarth), if they sing of the old Norse myths, they MUST BE VIKING!

  72. G.... ....

    This song is so so god damn mental love eveything from the base and drums to the death roars.

  73. K.... C....

    Church,Blade HI

  74. F.... O....
