Geirrod and Agnar set to sea,

sons of King Hraudung they were.

Their oars kissed the waves above

where Jormagund sleeps.

They cast off their baited hooks!

The clouds gathered above in the heavens,

their luck in the catch left them unaware.

Caught amidst the storm and far off the shore

as the serpent thrashed at the ocean floor.

Wave upon wave they held strong,

pulled further and further from shore.

Brave-hearted,strong sons of the north,

they would see land once more.

Once more!

They awoke dashed against the rocks,

weary and bruised from the journey.

They gathered themselves searching for shelter,

in the distance they saw a column of smoke.

They were greeted at the door

by a simple farmer and his wife.

They were fed and given shelter

as they stayed the winter through.

The farmer was good and wise,

and he cared for Geirrod.

His wife grew close with Agnar who

began to see her as his mother.

There was darkness in Geirrod's

heart, selfishness and hate.

As winter drew nigh to an end

their fathers kingdom did await.

They braved the sea on their journey home,

Geirrod's heart was full of deceit and as

he stepped upon the shore he pushed

his brother out to the sea.

Out to the sea!

Their father passed

away in their absence,

the throne was empty

and Geirrod was now king.

Odin watched from Asgard

and smiled upon his work for he

was the farmer and Frigg, the wife,

who had cared for them in the cold.

Agnar had grown into a man,

a giantess he did wed.

Odin scoffed at young Agnar

saying Geirrod was a better man.

Geirrod was a ruthless king

and he ruled his people with hate.

Frigg contested Odin's claim

and they sought the boys again.

They sought the boys again!

Frigg sent word into Geirrod's kingdom,

of a powerful sorcerer making his way.

Cloaked in rags Odin came, unaware

of the fires that await.

Odin called himself Grimnir and was seized,

placed between 2 fires and bound in chains.

8 nights in the sweltering heat but the

God would not be slain.

God would not be slain!

Geirrod's had a son 8 winters old,

named Agnar for his fathers brother.

He freed Grimnir and gave him a full horn

to drink as griminess cloak was smoldering.

Geirrod sat, sword on his knee,

half drawn from its sheath.

When he heard of Odin he rose

to take him from the fire.

The sword slipped and fell hilt

down and he fell upon the sword.

Then Odin vanishedand Agnar was

crowned a king forevermore.
