Letra de Death Of a God

Prophecies foretold death will claim him soon Unwilling to die, he swore to be prepared An oath was demanded from everything Everything the world would know All swore, though one sprout forgotten Frigga claimed it could never harm Her gaze fell upon the missletoe Judging it to young, to take the vow Go around until all is sworn Task is done Fear the youngsters blow Too young for an oath The cause of death Hodr the blind, no sight on what's ahead From the branch which seemed so fair Came a harmful shaft that hodr should hurl A test of champions and gods alike To throw the weapons which couldn’t harm It was loki, treacherous and vile Who gave the blind his dreaded spear It was hodr, who aimed at the God Baldr struck by the misstletoe Go around until all is sworn Task is done Fear the youngsters blow Too young for an oath The cause of death Hodr the blind, no sight on what's ahead Baldr, shielded from all but one Struck by a spear of mistletoe As he fell, all gods struck silent The silence deafening, the grief untold Yet baldr, wise and fairest of all Who shall return after many are slain When all ills fade, he’ll rise up Alongside hodr, the new earth shall rule
