Guðrún's Revenge Lyrics

And so the vengeance of Gudrun
was set in motion
Two brothers, clad in armour
Destined to kill!

War-raiment that no steel would bite
Blades nor spears would bring
forth their end
A secret shared by the god
of war and death
Assuring their place in
the Hall of the Slain

Jörmunrek’s limbs they did maim
‘til the Allfather appeared
Advising to use stones
To kill the brothers
War-raiment that no steel would bite
Blades nor spears would bring
forth their end
A secret shared by the god
of war and death
Assuring their place in
the Hall of the Slain

“Hlaðið ér, jarlar,
eikiköstinn,
látið þann und hilmi
hæstan verða;
megi brenna brjóst
bölvafullt eldr,
þrungit um hjarta
þiðni sorgir.”

(Now may all earls
be bettered in mind,
may the grief of all maidens
ever be minished,
for this tale of trouble
so told to its ending.
