[Verse 1] This dire tale I bring to you A story without hope An event that sealed the Aesir reigns demise The story I must tell to you The tale of Balder's fate Will echo through the memories of time
[Pre-Chorus 1] Dreams told of death That Hel was prepared To accept Balder when he dies Frigg made everything Swear on its pride That all sort of harm Her son could defy
[Verse 2] Balder was immortal And the gods amused themselves By striking him so brutally and raw But Loki had other plans His heart was growing dark And the end of Balder in his mind he saw
[Pre-Chorus 2] Out of a mistletoe and arrow he did forge And placed it in Hödrs Hand The blinded bond of blood The arrow did shoot And Balder's life was banned from Aesirland
[Chorus 1] Balder your fate is sealed Death from a blind man's shot The end times will bleed for you And the world as we know it will be forgot Einherjars fulfill your oath The Norns holds your fate There stand the world-tree dimmed and charred Now fight for it, unleash Odin's hate
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3] Ride for seven days and night Cry out for my son Hel will promise redemption if your sorrow will be shown Töck refused to bow or mourn "He stays below" she said And therefore Balder once again was cursed back to the dead
[Pre-Chorus 3] Höder must pay, Loki must pay For their crimes against our own kind Höder was slain by his own son in rage While ravens they traced down the source of the sin
[Chorus 2] Balder your fate is sealed Death from a blind man's shot Loki caught in a cave His treachery would seal his fate Cold winds chilled whispers bring A conflict to end them all Vengeance through Loki's deed Will be our final fall
[Outro] Now that Balder's gone our worlds will burn Through Ragnarök our world... must... fall Oh, oh cruel worldTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
