Baldur's Dreams

Once to find the truth the gods met together
Why baleful dreams had come to Baldur
At the halls of Aesir the branches shed their leaves
An oath was sworn to spear his life

Garm the hound is still awake
His chest bloodstained and his teeth are bared

Wala, tell me all I want to hear
Who is the murderer of my son?

He spoke the magic words to the snow-bound woman
She has been dead for many years
I am the unknown man, who travelled to the darkened realm
I had come to increase your grief

Wise woman tell me all I want to know
Who threw the bolt at the god of light?
Who took Baldur's life away?

The mead is brewed for your loving son
This shining drink covered by shield
His blind brother Hodr threw the mistletoe
Driven by the might of jealous Loki

Wala, tell me all I want to hear
Who is the murderer of my son?
Wise woman tell me all I want to know
Who threw the bolt at the god of light?
Who took his life away?
