In the realm of Svartalvheim Where master forgers reign Loke met with Eitri and Brokk With malice and deceit, he got them to agree To create nine magics gifts for the Asa gods
Brokkr had a sense of foul play in the air So he made a wager for Loke´s head
Treasures will be forged for the Asa gods A spear and ring for the Asgard king But finest of them all, The Crusher it is called Mjölner, hammer of Thor
Loke´s treachery knows no boundaries He hid himself in the blacksmith´s cave But as work progressed, he feared he´d lose his bet He knew his situation now was grave Working the bellows Heating the forge Striking the anvil Striking with force
Then as they worked on the last gift A mighty hammer of war Loke disrupted the work of the blacksmiths The handle came out short
The nine gifts were brought to Odin´s mighty hall As Loke feared the Gods praised them all
Treasures have been forged for the Asa gods For the Vana prince, a ship and boar But finest of them all, The Crusher it is called Mjölner, hammer of Thor
Brokkr came to claim his price Loke fooled him twice He saved his lying head But got his mouth sewn shut instead
Treasures have been forged for the Asa gods For Sif they made new hair of gold But finest of them all, The Crusher it is called Mjölner, hammer of Thor
