Ballad of Freyr

Ballad of Freyr 

Freyr controls our environment.

He plows hardscrabble land

Seeking prosperity.

If it bears fruit,

Freya yields His harvest.

Freyr remains to tend.

 

He sings his jeremiad in the night.

Abed he plays ‘til dawn

  Enjoying the nuptial bliss

Of a giantess named Gerd.

Wooed by his servant, Skirner

In exchange for Freyr’s sword

 

When Ragnorok ensues,

Freyr’s time will cease.

The fire giant Surt,

His malefactor, will dominate.

Sun and rain will vanish

Humanity will end.

 

The Soul of the Earth will mourn our loss

After we sow what we've reaped.

The teachings of old lost

Only Our Angels 

Will remember 

Our songs.

 

Harvest requires effort

Sacrifices made.

The earth demands reverence.

Her Will be done

Harmony preserved.

As preached by All

 

The realm of the physical

The gift of matter

Divine.

Cherish Now.

Tomorrow never comes

And yesterday already gone.

 

We are

Now

Go

Do

With love

And an opened heart

 

Such is Freyr's Song

Long live life

Blessed Be

Something I've never been accused of before... I hope that's a good thing. :-)
