英文摇滚歌曲：Amon Amarth - War of the Gods

War, the mirthless war of our world
when the treacherous¹ wench is killed
three times burned, the three times born
by fear it claims was Gullveig torn

Death, Odin held his spear up with great force
deep into the great god of fear
battle horns gave off their sound
and Asgard was razed² to the ground

The Vanir failed to see H?nir was a fool
without Mímir at his side H?nir could not rule

In a field of violent rage Mímir's blood was shed
and to Odin's court they sent Mímir's severed³ head

Truce⁴, so a brittle⁵ and frail⁶ ease was forged
into a shattered piece to make
Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came
and H?nir and Mim to Vanaheim

Death, see the furious gods washed in blood
and Odin knew that the way to war
would not bring them any gain
just leave a black and bitter stain

Odin tog huvudet och smorde det med ?rter
som hindrar det fr?n att ruttna
han kvad sina trolls?nger ?ver det
s? att Mimer⁷ ?ter kunde tala till honom

The Vanir failed to see H?nir was a fool
without Mímir at his side H?nir could not rule

In a field of violent rage Mímir's blood was shed
and to Odin's court they sent Mímir's severed head

[English translation:]
Odin took the head, and anointed it with herbs
which prevents it from rotting
he sang his magic songs over it
so that Mimer be able to speak to him
