The Ride To Hel Lyrics
Over the ground on the leaving land
We stand united on our way to forever
Under the mound time will take its toll
We fall divided and it seems that we never learn
Who is right
Who is wrong
See the light
Right is always there where we belong
We all died
When you fell
Far and wide
Waiting one to take the ride to Hel
Birds of a feather
What's holding us together
When ways lead north and nether
Through rain and heavy weather we ride
Though mothers cry
Even though fathers try
To raise the dead
The last word said
So we still learn
That there is no return
Back from Hel, back from Hel, from Hel
Try as you may, you can't make all mourn,
We're born alone and only death is our dowry
There he will stay, left to wonder why
We die alone into from where there is no return
Who has won
Who has lost
Boldest Son
Sent away and you will count the cost
We all died
When you fell
Far and wide
Waiting one to take the ride to hel
Betrayn, forsaken
With lies my life was taken
The woes of war awaken
Alone, betrayn, forsaken inside
We stand united on our way to forever
Under the mound time will take its toll
We fall divided and it seems that we never learn
Who is wrong
See the light
Right is always there where we belong
When you fell
Far and wide
Waiting one to take the ride to Hel
What's holding us together
When ways lead north and nether
Through rain and heavy weather we ride
Even though fathers try
To raise the dead
The last word said
So we still learn
That there is no return
Back from Hel, back from Hel, from Hel
We're born alone and only death is our dowry
There he will stay, left to wonder why
We die alone into from where there is no return
Who has lost
Boldest Son
Sent away and you will count the cost
When you fell
Far and wide
Waiting one to take the ride to hel
With lies my life was taken
The woes of war awaken
Alone, betrayn, forsaken inside

This be about Hermods ride to Niflheim to retrive Baldr who had been killed by Loki's tricksy ways " With lies my life was taken" and the challenge laid down by Hel to prove that all weep for his death, only one did not (this could have been loki in a different guise).
Some say that Odin knew when Baldr died it would have consequences at Ragnarök, so a few lines could be said to be in reference to this; "The woes of war awaken" "Sent away and you will count the cost"
