| Description | The Lay of Thrym is a song about the Norse tale which goes by the same name. In the tale, the giant Thrym stole Mjolnir, Thor’s great hammer. Thrym demanded that the only way Thor could get his hammer was if he could marry the goddess Freyja. The gods hatched a plan, and Thor disguised himself as the bride behind the wedding veil. Once the hammer was brought to him, he unveiled himself and smashed Thrym’s skull with his mighty hammer, then finished the job with the remaining giants in the hall. |
| Lyrics | Hammertheft and all the world bereft Of reason and of right overnight Left between a tyrant's temper mean And treason and betrayal, cold and stale Hue and cry, I can't sit idly by We're hostages to greed, intercede All you have is illgotten gain You stand only for your own Any man may throw you off the throne Seat will not be set for thee At the league of free nations May this mark the end of your reign Let the lay of Thrym be heard Leave no tyrant out there undeterred Thunderstruck theocracy This theodicy heathen In the end the giant was slain Hammer home to any despots dome That tales of tyranny end with me Hue and cry, I can't sit idly by We're hostages to greed, intercede All you have is illgotten gain You stand only for your own Any man may throw you off the throne Seat will not be set for thee At the league of free nations May this mark the end of your reign Let the lay of Thrym be heard Leave no tyrant out there undeterred Thunderstruck theocracy This theodicy heathen In the end the giant was slainYou might also like |
