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).

"The woes of war awaken"
"Sent away and you will count the cost"
