The Death Of Balder
Lyrics: S. Manteuffel

All existence is running in cycles
Ouruborus always bites in its own tail
 
When the rise of the sun must meet its end
and summer must pass
As Loki takes use of the arrow
And Balder must die
 
In the gleam of the summer solstice fire
We honour the sun
In the gleam of the summer solstice fire
We celebrate life
 
Beyond the peak of our existence
The fall has begun
Such as Loki has taken the arrow
And Balder had to die
 
Raise the horn
We drink to life and prosperity
Drain the horn
We toast to war and death
 
In the gleam of the summer solstice fires
We honour ourselves
In the gleam of the summer solstice fires
We celebrate Life

Celebration, summer solstice
Death of Balder, solstice fires burn
 
In the gleam of the solstice fires, we honour ourselves
In the gleam of the solstice fires, we celebrate Life
Beyond the peak of our existence, the fall has just begun
Summer passes, summer ends, soon it’s reaping time
 
In the gleam of the summer solstice fires
We are looking forward to the harvest
In the gleam of the summer solstice fires
We laugh at Baldur’s death
