Father of the Wolf Lyrics

So we found the heart in wild land
It was beating, still alive
He held it gently in his hand and looked up to the sky
With evil thoughts of vicious kind and sinners .. ..
His thought would bring you back to life the ways you died in flames

Serpent's king
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the wolf!

Serpent's king
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the wolf!

He the devoured Gullveigs heart and she was born again
They brought to life an evil force
A beast that can't be tamed
With dark deception in his soul
Betrayer of the gods
The bey of Odin now is born
Born of evil blood

Serpent's king
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the wolf!

Serpent's king
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the wolf!

They brought to life a malicious force
A vile beast that cannot be tamed
.......
A vile beast that can't be restrained!

Deception in his soul
Betrayer of the gods
Odin's bey is born
Born of evil blood

Serpent's king
Born of sin
Dark within

Serpent's king
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the wolf!

Born of sin!

Cover art for Father of the Wolf lyrics by Amon Amarth

It's about Fenrir, the wolf. In Norse mythology Fenrir was Loki's son. Fenrir lived with the Aesir when he was young. The wolf was growing stronger and fiercer each day and prophecies foretold that he will cause destruction. Fenrir had already broken the first two sets of iron chains called Leyding and Dromi which were supposed to hold him. So the Aesir, led by Odin tricked him into being bound by a silky, very strong thread called Gleipnir, produced by drawves from six mythical ingredients, which even the strong Fenrir couldn't break. Upon being tied, he bit off Tyr's hand, who then thrust his sword into Fenrir's jaw so he wouldn't bite anyone else again. On the day of Ragnarok, the earthquakes shaking Yggdrasil (the world tree) will break Gleipnir, and Fenrir will be free. He will remove Tyr's sword from his jaw, then go to engage Odin (aka Fimbultyr) in battle, defeat him and eat him. After which Odin's son Vidar will kill Fenrir.
