Rise and Fall of Thor

The hammer which the dwarrows made
The completion which the trickster stayed
Wielded high over mighty head
The fierce terror the giants dread
The rumble of wheels roar in the sky,
I watch the awesome storm as he wars on by.

[Chorus]
Rumble on and flash in might
Mjolnir wide-arched, Thor’s delight
The stories I’ve read at night
Play in my head on this awesome night

[Verse]
From halls of Asgard down Midgard’s plain,
He rides through thunder, frost, and rain.
Red-bearded god with a battle cry,
Eyes like lightning split the sky.
Serpents coil and shadows flee,
When the storm-lord laughs at destiny.

[Chorus]
Rumble on through cloud and fire
Mjolnir sings with godlike ire
Old world burns with ancient light
Echoing still through this storm-born night

[Verse]
Beneath Thor’s Oak the war drums beat,
Roots drank deep of ages’ deceit.
Steel was raised, the heavens held,
Waiting to see which power would fell.
One blow rang where idols stood,
Thunder died in splintered wood—
From broken oak a cross took frame,
And dawn marched forth where darkness reigned.

The storm grew still, the sky turned pale

Old songs bent as new winds sailed

No hammer rang, no thunder cried

Yet dawn stood firm where gods had died
