Brother's Bane Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dacfu 

Cover art for Brother's Bane lyrics by Týr

This song is about the Death of Baldr, son of Odin. Baldr was invincible to anyone and everything except the plant mistletoe. The Norse gods used to practice their combat skills and aim on him since he couldent be hurt. One day Loki helped Baldr's blind brother, Hod, to aim his arrow at Baldr. However, Loki had found out the secret to Baldr's immortality and gave Hod an arrow of mistletoe, killing Baldr. Thats essentially the first verse.

The second verse is just Odin being pissed at Loki.
