Garmr Howls Lyrics


Hound of Hel guarding the gates

Waiting to rip flesh from bone

When in its realm life is at stake

Entering the demon dog's home

Howling a death cry, preceding a downfall

Murder upon its breath

Guarding the offspring, tearing its victims

Upon demon daughter's command

I've seen such beasts in my time

But the hound is vicious as any

Its howl sends chill up the spine

And the bodies of its victims plenty

Garmr guards the gate to Helheim

Blood soaked fangs laid bare

Sending terror through intruders

Howling fills the air

Loosening life from hosting flesh

Delight for the demon hound

But Odin's might clears the way

A path through its lair is found

On to the end, toward the goal

Freeing those to their reward

Slaying undead, defeating the hound

Cutting through Hel's ghoulish horde

Allfather sees and Allfather knows

Spear enters demonic form

Helheim is weakening, as is the master

As minions' blood flows warm

Death to enemies of One-Eyed Grimnir

Wielder of wisdom and runes

Now comes the time of confrontation

To gift Hel her high Aesir wounds
