Can anyone decifer the lyrics to War of the Gods? Or are they published somewhere?
By the way, the official good quality song :

I am trying to transcribe the lyrics but it's really hard to make out many of the words.
I've at least got a good sense of what it's about.
Read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mímir#cite_note-HOLLANDER8-6
and the section Heimskringla.
This more or less covers the whole song.
The spoken word part in swedish goes something like this:
Oden tog huvudet och smorde det med örter
Som hindrade det från att ruttna
Han kvad sina ???? över det så att Mimer åter kunde tala till honom
which translated means:
"Oden took the head and smeared it with herbs
which prevented it from rotting
he spoke charms over it so that Mimer could speak to him again."
As for the rest of the song I give up but I present you with what I tried to decipher so far:
War, the ...less war of our world
When the treacherous witches will??
Death, Oden... with great force
Deep into the great ....
Battle horns gave off their sound and Asgaard was razed to the ground
The father from the sea?
Hänir was a fool
Without Mimer at his side, Hänir could not rule
In a fit of violent rage, Mimers blood was shed
And to Odens court they sent, Mimers severed head
Truce, so a brittle and ... it was forged
Njordr and Freyr to Asgaard came
and Hänir went to Vanaheim
Death, see the furious ... washed in blood
and oden... the way to war
just lead the way to ...
Oden tog huvudet och smorde det med örter
Som hindrade det från att ruttna
Han kvad sina ???? över det så att Mimer åter kunde tala till honom
The father from the sea?
Hänirr was a fool
Without Mimer at his side, Hänir could not rule
In a fit of violent rage, Mimers blood was shed
And to Odens court they sent, Mimers severed head
