Ted Lundström - Hermod's Ride To Hel lyrics

[Hermod:] Ride Sleipner Ride for all you're worth Faster than lightning To the dark realms of the world Through valleys of darkness On our way to Nifelheim To the halls of Hel Where my brother waits Wailing voices on the wind Urging me to turn Distant tortured screams Cold blue fires burn I hear the sound of river Gjoll Running cold and deep It's a golden bridge shines in the dark The bridge that Modgud keeps Over the bridge, on through the night Hel is getting near There are the gates, towering high Afflicting me with fear In her hall, at the honor seat My brother sits in pain Pale and tortured Balder great Bound by invisible frozen chains [Hermod:] I have come, to bring him back with me The whole world mourns his d**h! Please set Balder free Give him back his breath! [Hel:] If it's true, what you say to me That the whole world mourns his d**h If the whole world will weep I'll give him back his breath!
