Hermod's Ride to Hel - Lokes Treachery Part 1
[Hermod:]Ride SleipnerRide for all you're worthFaster then lightning,To the dark realms of the world
Through valleys of darknessOn our way to NifelheimTo the halls of HelWhere my brother awaits
Wailing voices on the windUrging me to turnDistant tortured screamsCold blue fires burn
I hear the sound of river GjöllRunning cold and deepIt's a golden bridge shines in the darkThe bridge that Modgud keeps
Over the bridge, on through the nightHel is getting nearThere are the gates, towering highAfflicting me with fear
In her hall, at the honor seatMy brother sits in painPale and tortured Balder greatsBound by invisible frozen chains
[Hermod:]I have come, to bring him back with meThe whole world mourns his death!Please set Balder freeGive him back his breath!
[Hel:]If it's true, what you say to meThat the whole world mourns his death.If the whole world will weep I'll give him back his breath!
