Garmr Howls

Hound of Hel guarding the gates
Waiting to rip flesh from bone
When in its realm life is at stake
Entering the demon dog's home.

Howling a death cry, preceding a downfall
Murder upon its breath
Guarding the offspring, tearing its victims
Upon demon daughter's command.

I've seen such beasts in my time
But the hound is vicious as any
Its howl sends chill up the spine
And the bodies of its victims plenty.

Garmr guards the gate to Helheim
Blood soaked fangs laid bare
Sending terror through intruders
Howling fills the air.

Loosening life from hosting flesh
Delight for the demon hound
But Odin's might clears the way
A path through its lair is found.

On to the end, toward the goal
Freeing those to their reward
Slaying undead, defeating the hound
Cutting through Hel's ghoulish horde.

Allfather sees and Allfather knows
Spear enters demonic form
Helheim is weakening, as is the master
As minions' blood flows warm.

Death to enemies of One-Eyed Grimnir
Wielder of wisdom and runes
Now comes the time of confrontation
To gift Hel her high Aesir wounds.
