Carved In Blood - Balders Bane Lyrics

In his mind a seed of death was thriving
A vicious dream to an unbreakable fate
Seed so small made his mother crying
Of a brother so jealous and filled with hate

The mother Frigg sent words to all
Her son Balder not to be harmed
In all the nine realms oaths were sworn
But she left out the harmless mistletoe

Allfather Odin rode to Nifelhel
Into the realm of mist and winter
He came across, the dead witch of Hel
With the galdrs of death the witch untwist
Galdrs of death witch untwist

Since all beings sworn not to harm him
Let's play a game in Balder's honor
His immortality shall prevail
Gather around and try to kill him

Everything's bounced off of Balder
The Gods they threw spears axes and stones
Not a scratch on the beautiful God
Except a harmless little mistletoe

Loki made Frigg unveil the secret
He tricked Hödr to kill his brother
Balder fell to the ground bloodily
The father of all that is malicous

Loki, Balder's bane
Ragnarök unchained
