Hermod:    "Ride, Sleipner!    Ride for all you're worth    Faster than lightning    To the dark realms of the world"       Through valley's of darkness    On our way to Nifelheim    To the halls of Hel    Where my brother awaits       Wailing Voices on the wind    Urging me to turn    Distant tortured screams    Cold blue fires burn       I hear the sound of river Gjoll    Running cold and deep    Its golden bridge shines in the dark    The bridge Modgud keeps       Over the bridge, on through the night    Hel is getting near    There are the gates towering high    Afflicting me with fear       In her hall, at the honoured seat    My brother sits in pain    Pale and tortured Balder greats    Bound by invisible frozen chains       Hermod:    "I have come to bring him back with me    The whole world mourns his death    Please set Balder free    Give him back his breath!"       Hel:    "If it's true, what you say to me    That the whole world mourns his death    If the whole world will weep    I will give him back his breath."
