THE BINDING OF GLEIPNIR
The gods had failed with Iron; again they failed with brass.
The wolf had broken free of every chain the Aesir had.
He got loose out of Laeding, and Droma snapped in half,
Fenrir destroyed every fetter by the might of his wrath.
Gleipnir, at last,
Was by dark elves cast,
In Svartalfaheim, with strong spells wrought
Unto Odin was by Skirnir brought.
Soft as silk, as light as air, filled with magic power rare,
Stronger than the wolf could know, yet smoother than the finest hair.
Bind the wolf unto the stone and run the chain through the boulder Gjoll
Where he shall stay to writhe in pain until the day of Ragnarok
(Fenrir) “This fetter seems so frail and weak, what glory lies in its defeat?
I suspect foul treachery used in the forging of these bonds.
I do not trust these simple chains, I will not be bound again,
Lest one of you is brave enough to place your fist between my fangs.”
As Tyr stepped up and raised his fist, a sacrifice to the beast,
Between his jowls he placed a hand, the wielder of his sword.
Gleipnir was pulled tight across his legs and the wolf was bound from tail to head
And the god of war lost his hand for the safety of both gods and men
The sound of feline footsteps, the sinews of a bear
The spittle of a bird and a fish’s gasp for air
The beard of a woman and the roots of mountains deep
I know dark elves came to earth and made Gleipnir from these things
And now the spawn of Loki waits for the day he is set free
He knows one day that stone will break and Gleipnir is released
And when he charges onto Vigrid, he searches for his kill
Odin Allfather will be swallowed whole and eaten for a meal
But Vidar will avenge his death, and rip his jaws asunder
The lord of beasts, the Fenris wolf shall torment us no longer! - Track Name: Folkvang

I fight until I die!
As I charge through the field
Impaling christians with my spear
In halls up high Gods now watch
the lives of men crumble to dust
Corpses cover the land
Ravens picking at their flesh
Wounded suffer and beg to die
Their freedom is death!
With my sword now in hand
I shed their blood on my father’s land
“Take this offering of blood
In Odin’s name for the Asa-gods!”
May my deeds bring my fathers pride
And favor among the gods up high
Let the ravens tell the tale
Go! Sing my name in Odin’s ear!
When I die where will I go?
Something only Odin knows
Will a Valkyrie take me away
For an eternity in Valhall to stay?
A mighty force comes from above
I collapse in my own blood
Consciousness goes dark then black
A sword pushed through my back!
Freyja chooses first
her half of the slain
I feel her warm embrace
I’m headed to Folkvang
Freyja, goddess of the slain
Queen of harvest, Fertile Dame,
Great host of souls in Folkvang,
We Hail you Vanadis!
