Ride Sleipner Ride for all you're worth Faster then 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 Lyrics 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 greats Bound by invisible frozen chains
[Hermod:] I have come, to bring him back with me The whole world mourns his death! 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 death. If the whole world will weep I'll give him back his breath!
