Songtext von Hod Og Mistelteinen

Sword nor axe could touch him Unharmed by forged steel Gods trying their weapons Found him hard to kill The pledge was sworn, the god was safe Nothing to care about But lovely little Mistletoe Was too weak to swear Kept a mysterious secret One burden more to bear As fast as light came Mistletoe Flesh and heart he pierced Soaked the ground with guts and blood By word and oath preserved But what he did and what he’d done The righteous god of wisdom Was never hailed in battle hymns Though true came Baldr’s dreams Ancient giant Loki Intended to take the light From he who was immortal Against power, sword and might In everlasting darkness Hod took up a spear And killed with it his brother Slaughtered like a deer Earthly life came to an end But Baldr’s soul lived on As fast as light came Mistletoe Flesh and heart he pierced Soaked the ground with guts and blood By word and oath preserved But what he did and what he’d done The righteous god of wisdom Was never hailed in battle hymns Though true came Baldr’s dreams Baldr’s dreams! Baldr’s dreams!
