War Of The Gods Lyrics - Amon Amarth

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 

Hone was a fool 

Without Mimir at his side 

Hone could not rule 

In a fit of violent rage 

Mimir's blood was shed 

And to Odin's court they sent Mimir'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 Hon' 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 

The Vanir felt deceived 

Hone was a fool 

Without Mimir at his side 

Hone could not rule 

In a fit of violent rage 

Mimir's blood was shed 

And to Odin's court they sent Mimir's severed head 

The Vanir felt deceived 

Hone was a fool 

Without Mimir at his side 

Hone could not rule 

In a fit of violent rage 

Mimir's blood was shed 

And to Odin's court they sent Mimir's severed head
